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."
