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."

Fodor's "Nonpareil views over Barcelona, water sculptures everywhere but in your bed, a superb restaurant (L'Orangerie), and design-conscious suites." Full review

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."
