Rough Guide "The absolute clincher is the rooftop spa, pool and deck, with amazing views over to the Sagrada Família."

Families might want to choose apartments that also include full kitchens.
DK Eyewitness "Stately decor and faultless service are the hallmarks of this aptly named hotel. Exit through the heavy brass-and-glass doors and you’re mere steps from the Eixample’s Modernista gems."
Lonely Planet "This sprawling, central option has the charm of one of the great European hotels." Full review
Jetsetter "With a 100-plus-year history and neoclassical facade overlooking Paseo de Gracia, the Majestic Hotel & Spa is a fine old lady among Barcelona’s five-star hotels." Full review

Be sure to specify which room category you want: Urban and Privilege rooms face the street (better views but, naturally, noisier, unless you’re on a higher floor), while the others open onto the less spectacular but quieter interior patio.
Travel + Leisure "The Neoclassical Hotel Majestic is located at the center of Barcelona amidst the city's most popular Modernista architecture: the Sagrada Família, La Pedrera, and Casa Batlló." Full review

"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
