"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
