  1. Moments

    Mediterranean

    The fine-dining room inside the Mandarin Oriental runs on Catalan tradition reshaped by a chef who grew up inside one of the great kitchens of the region. Carme Ruscalleda's son Raül Balam runs the kitchen, and the family lineage shows without overwhelming his own hand. Two seasonal menus change throughout the year, the room glows in amber and gold, and a window onto the kitchen means you can watch the precision from your seat. It holds a Michelin star.

    One honor, in evidence:
