Inside this fabulous hotel at the Passeig de Gràcia you can find a bar, the Banker’s Bar, where the original security boxes from and old bank hang upon the ceiling and against the walls. They seem to serve great cocktails since their bartender received the title of the Spain Best Bartender 2010. 

            But that's not what this post is about, since I didn't have any when I was there. What I did eat was this absolutely delicious crema catalane (crème brulée). Probably the best I’ve ever had, come to think of it. The perfectly soft cream had this subtle flavor of cinnamon and orange and is topped with a perfectly crispy thin layer of sugar. 
           So if you happen to walk by, please get inside and order this mind-blowing dessert!
