Rough Guide "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."
Concierge "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
Oyster Luxury
"With a fairly removed location in the hills that ring the city, the 70-room Gran Hotel La Florida has a history as a luxurious, star-studded getaway far from the frenzy of Barcelona's crowds." Full review
Travel + Leisure "This 70-room hotel is situated atop a hill next to an amusement park in the Mount Tibidabo area." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Set in a Modernista villa in the hills above Barce lona, this luxurious hotel has been beautifully renovated by the finest designers and architects."
Condé Nast Traveler "Not only defines urbane comfort for the twenty-first century but is pulling in one of the sexiest crowds on the Continent." Full review
Star Service "This hotel sits on the panoramic bluff Mount Tibiabo (one of the highest points in town) overlooking the entire city of Barcelona and the Mediterranean beyond." 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.
Gayot "Built as a hotel in 1924 and restored in 1950 after serving as a military hospital, Gran Hotel La Florida has housed prestigious guests."
Afar Magazine "All the rooms have oak floors, luxurious furniture and fittings, and generously-sized marble bathrooms with in-floor heating and separate showers and bathtubs." Full review

Condé Nast Traveler99.6
"If the hotel assumes a certain degree of vanity on the part of its guests, it also strives to make them comfortable, with lushly soft mattresses... and a flat-screen TV in the WC." Full review
Jetsetter "Cutting-edge crash pad studded with eye-catching sculptures in Barcelona's hip Eixample Quarter." Full review
Afar Magazine "At Barcelona's The Mirror, rest up in a fashionable and modern deluxe room or suite." Full review
Michelin Guide "The Mirror serves up its avant-garde leanings with a wink. Futurism dominates here, but it’s anything but grim, and leavened with a healthy dose of retro accents and mod furniture." Full review
