Marcus Rashford is aiming to return to his once-stellar form after securing a loan move from Manchester United to Barcelona.
The downtrodden star, who was left out of Ruben Amorim's plans for the upcoming campaign, signed a deal with the Spanish champions for the 2025/26 season. This loan move includes an agreement with an option to buy the 27-year-old next year for around £26million.
As he settles into life in La Liga, Rashford is also enjoying the relaxation that his temporary hotel accommodation has to offer, which costs a pretty penny to stay at each night.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Rashford is staying at the Hotel Sofia – the same place as team-mates Wojciech Szczesny and Roony Bardghji – while he secures permanent accommodation in Barcelona.
Given the opulent surroundings of the five-star hotel, just a stone's throw from Camp Nou, it's likely that the England international will be quite comfortable staying there for as long as necessary.

The Hotel Sofia, also known as the Grand Hyatt Barcelona, is located in one of the city's most prestigious financial districts, Alta. It offers 465 rooms and a plethora of incredible facilities that Rashford will likely use to relax after training with the La Liga side ahead of the season opener against RCD Mallorca.
On Booking.com, the least expensive room for a single night is the premium twin room, which costs £243 and includes breakfast. This basic room has two single beds, a private bathroom with a shower, a flat-screen TV, a seating area, and views of the city.
Rashford, whose net worth was reported last year as high as £64m, won't be residing in one of the hotel's standard rooms. Barcelona will be keen to ensure his comfort throughout his time there, as they also foot the bill for his entire salary this season, which is a hefty £315,000 per week.

The forward would be better suited to the most expensive room at the Hotel Sofia, which can cost up to £1,579 per night. The junior king suite is among the most luxurious accommodations at the Spanish hotel, boasting an extra-large double bed, an ensuite bathroom, a minibar, and even a wake-up service included in the price.
However, it remains unclear if Rashford is occupying one of these suites. Breakfast is also part of the package, along with complimentary toiletries, a stunning view of Barcelona's skyline and plenty of space throughout.
In addition to the room's amenities, the hotel itself provides some remarkable perks. These include a wellness and spa area, an outdoor space complete with a terrace and pool, and a choice of five restaurants.
The spa offers the latest relaxation techniques, including water circuits, saunas and steam baths. Professional therapists are available to provide high-quality treatments for hard-working stars like Rashford.

The hotel also features a state-of-the-art gym equipped with the best gear, open 24/7. This means the striker can warm up or cool down at any time after training alongside his new colleagues.
Across the hotel's main lobby, generous seating arrangements are scattered throughout, with sun beds positioned beside the outdoor swimming pool and tall chairs arranged near the bar that boasts every type of spirit.
Whilst Rashford will probably make limited use of the hotel's facilities during his training stint with Barcelona, there are undoubtedly far worse locations to lay your head in the Spanish city.

Discussing his loan move away from his boyhood club this summer, the 27-year-old said: "I'm very excited. It's a club where dreams come true. They win big prizes and what the club stands for really means a lot to me.
"It feels like I'm at home and it's a big factor in my choice to come here. It's a family club and people are comfortable here. It's a good place for good players to showcase their skills."
