"The five-star, hillside Gran Hotel La Florida re-creates the glory days of the 1950s... Sunday brunch on the terrace at L’Orangerie restaurant is one of the city’s great secrets."

"For some, it's too far removed from Barcelona's bustle. For others, the setting is the draw—high atop a lush mountain 15 minutes outside the city center."
Fodor's
"Nonpareil views over Barcelona, water sculptures everywhere but in your bed, a superb restaurant (L'Orangerie), and design-conscious suites."
