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

"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

Michelin Guide "An authentic hotel-museum that has recreated an Art Nouveau-style interior featuring a variety of unique jewellery inspired decorative pieces."
Concierge "What the guest rooms lack in size, they more than make up for in comfort... the roof terrace, with its pint-size lap pool, is adorable."
Insight Guides "The latest jewel in the Derby Hotels crown is, fittingly, a former jewellery shop in prime position on La Rambla, right next to La Boqueria market."
Star Service "There is no more central location than this hotel, which is perfectly suited for public transportation, including the affordable airport bus. " Full review
Frommer's "This is our choice for a romantic getaway in the old city for both its looks and its high level of hospitality." Full review
Fodor's "The luxury once confined to hotels in the Eixample has worked is way down to La Rambla—as this new boutique gem bears ample witness." Full review

"The standout feature of this hotel is its location, it also offers a bar and restaurant, and a lovely rooftop terrace with a small pool overlooking the Gothic Quarter." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"The bijou Hotel Bagués was once the showroom for a jewellery company, and a forensic attention to materials and details remains evidenced throughout." Full review
Travel + Leisure "This lovely hotel in the heart of Las Ramblas...has a knowledgeable staff, a large terrace with views looking over the city, and a great bistro-style restaurant." Full review
