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.

"Public areas are similarly dramatic, like the neo-colonial hall, lounge and bar, and the sleek Xina noodle bar, while other facilities include both outdoor and indoor pools, and a glam spa."
"A mix of the traditional and contemporary... guestrooms offering the very best amenities."
"Located right beside the upper stretch of La Rambla in an emblematic 19th-century building... One of the city's most deluxe new hotels."

"This high-end hotel's old-fashioned approach to hospitality is an antidote to the overdesigned swarm of boutiques that have colonized the city in recent years."
"A smart, comfortable hotel with a suitably colonial air in its decor and indulgences."
