"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 "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 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

The rooms are quite large, but be sure to ask for one facing Las Ramblas; those that don't suffer from a lack of sunlight.
