"It might be on one of the city’s noisiest thoroughfares, but the soundproofing does its job handsomely in this wham-glam designer hotel beloved of all the style mags."
Michelin Guide "This contemporary hotel emphasizes modern design and functionality."
Frommer's "Avant-garde and with an astute blend of hedonistic and practical amenities, this dazzling 1920s' office conversion... is one of the latest fashionable hostelries to hit town." Full review
Fodor's "At the edge of the Gothic Quarter, very near the Barcelona cathedral, this fashionable midtown hideaway is popular with business and pleasure travelers alike." Full review

"The 147-room Grand Hotel Central is an upscale property located right on the border of the Gothic Quarter, within walking distance of major attractions and the subway." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This large, elegant hotel has a great location close to the Gothic Quarter and Born. But the real draw is the stunning rooftop pool with spectacular views of the city."
Condé Nast Traveler "With a relaxed atmosphere, this 147-room hotel in the heart of Barcelona—everything seems a ten-minute walk from the front door—is hip without the attitude." Full review
Star Service "The beautiful streamlined tile and marble baths are perhaps the highlights, bright and blessed with good toiletry kits from Gilchrist & Soames, robes, flip flops, hair dryers and magnifying mirrors." Full review
Afar Magazine "This luxury hotel melds historic art deco charm with 21st-century designer sass." Full review
Time Out "Charming Born hotel with one of the best pools in the city on its roof." Full review
