The typical ideal bar where all your friends would go and they would make themselves at home. Well, Kim Diaz has made it, classy and with an impeccable savoir faire.

In a flat in the Eixample of Barcelona the Mutis Bar is located. It is private club where you can enjoy of an absolute privacy, a place for night owls which has seduced swines like Russell Crowe, Robert De Niro and Woody Allen, among others. But beware; we’re just talking about funny swines. A club where it doesn’t matter where you come from or what you have, it only matters who you are and your attitude. A cocktail bar whose location is the largest of its secrets, where you can listen to live music, where you can become a stand-up comedian, or even a singer. It is a bar where customers and members make things happen.

It has been open for four years now, and it has been awarded with the Best European Bar by the prestigious magazine Drinks International. Its position in the Global ranking is the 16th. According to the jury, the private club, created by Kim Diaz in November 2009, has managed to become the number one in Europe thanks to its atmosphere and the concept of the local.

A speakeasy that you have to live, but we cannot tell you where. The silence and the discretion are two of its tops. Education, tolerance, complicity and attitude are the rest.

Hotels can offer much more than a nice room where to spend the night. Hotels’ restaurants, bars and cafes are places to discover in our own city.

In recent years, we have learned to enter without shame in a hotel simply to have a drink, eat some tapas or enjoy a meal. Indeed, hotel restaurants are becoming a gastronomic reference. Many of them choose to have a star chef, others adapt its menu to the aesthetics or philosophy of the venue (Eastern, minimalist, traditional, thematic …) or precisely looking to create a contrast. Some examples, the Banke Hotel offers Spanish cuisine in the center of Paris and the East 47 cocktail bar in Barcelona, located on the first floor the Claris Hotel, becomes the coolest place in the city to enjoy before dinner cocktails with friends.
