The Location at Mandarin Oriental, Barcelona

"A member of the highly prestigious Asian chain, this exotic and long-awaited hotel burst on the Catalan scene in November 2009 when it opened its doors in a key location overlooking the city's finest boulevard, the Passeig de Gràcia"

"In addition to being style conscious and design-driven, it’s evident that the masterminds behind this hotel were all about “location, location, location”"

"It has a great location on Passeig de Gracia, and offers all the high-end amenities one would expect from the chain, including a rooftop dipping pool, a beautiful spa, and numerous restaurants (one has two Michelin stars)"

"The location of this former bank headquarters, which opened as a hotel at the end of 2009 on the lovely Passeig de Gràcia, ensures that guests can easily stroll to restaurants and shopping"

"Mandarin Oriental's sole Spanish link is located in an impressive midcentury edifice smack-dab on Paseo de Gracia, the lively Eixample district's main boulevard"
