ME by MeliĆ”, a hotel line that integrates modern design and fusion cuisine, will add a fourth property to its roster on July 22: the ME Barcelona. This will be the second ME property in Spain, following the opening of the ME Madrid in October 2006. The ME Barcelona is in the Innovation District, a waterfront business park that houses about 200 international companies — many of them technology-related — and is near the convention center.

Highlights of the 259-room hotel include the 24th-floor restaurant, Dos Cielos, which has 360-degree views of the mountains and the Mediterranean (a rooftop garden will provide the restaurant with fresh herbs and other ingredients). There is also a pool on the sixth-floor terrace, along with two night life spots: the Chocolate Bar and the Penthouse Pool Lounge. Nightly rates start at 200 euros, or about $322 at $1.61 to the euro.
Personal Tip. The Picasso Museum, located three kilometres from the hotel, houses works dating from 1890 to 1967, including 'Forsaken Ones' and 'The Madman' from the Blue Period, and 'Head Only' from the Cubist Period. Also on display is the renowned Las Meninas (1957), a suite of 58 works conceived in response to Velazquez's painting Las Menas.
