"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."
Michelin Guide "A mix of the traditional and contemporary... guestrooms offering the very best amenities."
Frommer's "Located right beside the upper stretch of La Rambla in an emblematic 19th-century building... One of the city's most deluxe new hotels." Full review
Concierge "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."
Insight Guides "A smart, comfortable hotel with a suitably colonial air in its decor and indulgences."
DK Eyewitness "A 19th-century tobacco factory houses this chic hotel, which has retained some original fittings and combined them with 21st-century amenities."
Star Service "This hotel combines today's chill-out vibe with yesterday's trendy townhouse style to create a rarefied refuge for well-to-do thirty- and fortysomethings." Full review
Fodor's "Overlooking La Rambla, this imposing mansion, once the headquarters of the Compañiá General de Tabacos de Filipinas, couldn't be better located." Full review

Michelin Guide "This surprising building has an elliptical floor plan, avant-garde interior, a layout that favours wide-open spaces, and design features wherever you look!"
Frommer's "Everyone is well cared for here, from hedonistic tourist to keep-fit enthusiast and business visitor." Full review
Concierge "Come here if you're looking for an edgier neighborhood in Barcelona (think NYC's Meatpacking District before it became totally gentrified)."

"A popular choice among couples, the Raval may not be ideal for some families." Full review
Fodor's "This is an especially welcome addition to the city's hotel scene." Full review
Travel + Leisure "This hotel is a great place to start a visit to Barcelona: The food is good and the cocktails well made—but my personal favorite amenity is its fantastic outdoor pool." Full review
