"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."

The Telegraph9.0
"Sunny, friendly and supremely comfortable, The Serras is one of a new breed of stylish and unstuffy five-stars changing the face of the Barcelona hotel scene." Full review
