"This 59-room hotel in the Eixample is Rosa María Esteva's first foray into the hotel world... and we're willing to bet it won't be her last."

"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."

"For some, it's too far removed from Barcelona's bustle. For others, the setting is the draw—high atop a lush mountain 15 minutes outside the city center."
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.
