Located one block from the bustling Passeig de Gràcia, the late-night traffic can be noisy; book a room on the fifth or sixth floor for a quieter stay.
DK Eyewitness "Inside is a small museum of pre-Colombian art, some of which also decorates the suites. Guests get free admission to the Museu Egipci, run by the hotel owner."
Lonely Planet "Inside the fine 19th-century Palacio Verdura lurks one of the city's best-known designer digs."
Afar Magazine "Owned by notable art collector and Egyptologist Jordi Clos, Hotel Claris occupies Palacio Vedruna, an 18th-century palace that was remodeled in 1992." Full review
Jetsetter "Lovingly restored neoclassical palace in the Eixample district with an outdoor pool, a swank rooftop restaurant and a buzzy cocktail bar." Full review

"Sophisticated, open-plan rooms have a crisp, space-station-style sheen."
Michelin Guide "This surprising building has an elliptical floor plan, avant-garde interior, a layout that favours wide-open spaces, and design features wherever you look!"
Frommer's "Everyone is well cared for here, from hedonistic tourist to keep-fit enthusiast and business visitor." Full review
Concierge "Come here if you're looking for an edgier neighborhood in Barcelona (think NYC's Meatpacking District before it became totally gentrified)."

"A popular choice among couples, the Raval may not be ideal for some families." Full review
Fodor's "This is an especially welcome addition to the city's hotel scene." Full review
Travel + Leisure "This hotel is a great place to start a visit to Barcelona: The food is good and the cocktails well made—but my personal favorite amenity is its fantastic outdoor pool." Full review
Afar Magazine "We took the long walk from our hotel near La Rambla all the way to the amazing Sagrada Familia, designed by the world-famous Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi." Full review
Time Out "An excellent example of how a place can help to breathe new life into a city neighbourhood, this hotel also offers comfort, style and sought-after extras." Full review
Lonely Planet "Part of the city’s plans to pull the El Raval district by the bootstraps, this oval-shaped designer hotel tower makes a 21st-century splash." Full review
