Why guests love itTwo friends in Barcelona for a long weekend of shopping and tapas chose Olivia Plaza for its address right on Plaça de Catalunya. Each evening started at the rooftop bar, with the Santa Ana Church directly in view as the light softened over the old town. Their room overlooked the square, which meant some bustle below but also prime people-watching. One morning they used the free pass to the nearby gym with a pool. Anyone wanting a quiet rooftop swim should know the roof here is a bar, and a lively one by evening.
