Rough Guide "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."
Concierge "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." Full review
Oyster Luxury

However, at quiet times of the day it may be hard to find someone to help, and chances are about 50/50 that they will speak English or be interested in going out of their way for special requests.
Gayot "Built as a hotel in 1924 and restored in 1950 after serving as a military hospital, Gran Hotel La Florida has housed prestigious guests."
Afar Magazine "All the rooms have oak floors, luxurious furniture and fittings, and generously-sized marble bathrooms with in-floor heating and separate showers and bathtubs." Full review

Rough Guide "The glam designer experience that is Omm means minimalist, open-plan rooms... not to mention fearsomely handsome staff."
Michelin Guide Star
"Hidden behind the original facade is a highly contemporary hotel with spacious public areas divided into three sections."
Frommer's "Chic, intelligent, and strikingly executed, the hyper-trendy Omm has become a modern city landmark." Full review
Concierge "This 59-room hotel in the Eixample is Rosa María Esteva's first foray into the hotel world... and we're willing to bet it won't be her last."
Fodor's "A team of designers sought to create a playful-but-peaceful hotel, mirroring its name, and the result is this postmodern architectural stunner." Full review
Lonely Planet "Design meets plain zany here, where the balconies look like strips of skin peeled back from the shiny hotel surface." Full review
