TRIED & TESTED
Lunch spot in Barri Gotic
24 April 2014
Most striking feature:
The newest Praktik Hotel in Barcelona! Hotel Praktik Bakery opened its doors officially on April 1, but this week the bakery also opened its doors, so the hotel is now complete. You probably know how much I love the Praktik Hotels. All their hotels are unique and you can stay there for a pretty good price (often below 100 euro per night). Earlier I wrote about Praktik Rambla and Praktik Garden in Barcelona and about Praktik Metropol in Madrid. The design is always outstanding and always done by Lazaro Rosa-Violan. He always takes care of the building and the theme of the hotel so not one of the Praktik Hotels look the same. The theme of the new Praktik is ofcourse ‘the bakery’. So if you follow the smell of fresh baked bread and pastries, then you know you’ve find the right place. Forn, or in English Bakery, Baluard is one of the most famous bakeries in Barcelona. They have one outlet in Barceloneta, but with this opening they can also serve the people who work and live in the area around La Pedrera and Diagonal. The bakery isn’t there just for the visitors of the hotel, no, as a local you can try some of those delicious heart-shaped strawberry cakes in their cafe. This hotel, just like the other Praktik Hotels, has a fantastic location: you’re on the Paseo de Gracia in 2 minutes and La Pedrera is in the same street. The rooms are all the same: furnished with a comfortable bed, those lovely lamps and a rain shower. Perfect for a getaway in beautiful Barcelona.
