A Historic Retreat Above Barcelona

Set on the slopes of Montjuïc, Hotel Miramar Barcelona brings together the elegance of a historic palace with a contemporary vision of Mediterranean luxury. At the beginning of the 21st century, architect Óscar Tusquets Blanca reinterpreted the former palace with a sensitive contemporary intervention, preserving its historic façade while creating a distinctive terraced architecture that follows the natural contours of the hillside.

Gardens, Terraces & Mediterranean Views

Surrounded by century-old gardens, the hotel enjoys a privileged position overlooking Barcelona and the Mediterranean.

A fresh Mediterranean menu of light dishes, cocktails and refreshing drinks is served in a relaxed setting, with the city and sea unfolding beyond the terrace. It is an idyllic spot for a long lunch, an afternoon by the water or drinks as the sun begins to soften over Barcelona.

A Hidden Ranch in the Rockies

Carved into the Colorado wilderness in 1946, Tumbling River Ranch is an enchanting hideaway where the mountains set the pace. High in the Pike National Forest, roughly an hour from Denver, the intimate guest ranch is surrounded by soaring peaks, whispering pines, alpine meadows and the rushing waters of the river. Here, the air carries the scent of pine and snow, while the vast wilderness creates an extraordinary sense of privacy.

An Intimate Mountain Retreat

With just 21 guestrooms and cabins, Tumbling River Ranch offers a rare sense of seclusion in the Colorado Rockies. Many of the accommodations date back to the 1940s, preserving the character of the ranch’s early days while introducing modern comforts. Surrounded by the million-acre Pike National Forest and Mount Evans Wilderness, the property feels wonderfully removed from the everyday, yet remains within easy reach of Denver.

Open-Fire Dining

Meals are an essential part of ranch life, with chef-prepared cuisine cooked over an open fire and served throughout the day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are complemented by snacks and beverages, with meals ranging from generous family-style feasts to more refined plated presentations. Wherever you dine, panoramic mountain views provide a spectacular backdrop.

Adventure in Every Season

Life at the ranch is designed around the landscape, with activities ranging from hiking, mountain biking and archery to ice skating and snowshoeing in winter. The Continental Divide and legendary Mount Bierstadt are nearby, offering even more opportunities to explore the dramatic terrain of the Colorado Rockies.

Wellness Beside the River

A tree-lined path from the lodge leads to the ranch’s private wellness area, naturally integrated into the river landscape. Here, couples can enjoy outdoor treatments beside the water, while four wooden hot tubs, a sauna and a river cold plunge create a deeply restorative mountain ritual.
