Rough Guide Star
"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

Rough Guide "The large rooms... feature country-style furniture, there’s a vast rustic dining room... and – best of all – a lovely tiled rear patio on which to read in the sun."
Frommer's "Filled with antiques and quirky trinkets, it's one of the most atmospheric spots to stay in town." Full review
Fodor's "A few steps up Carrer Tallers from the top of the Rambla, this little hotel is well positioned for exploring medieval Barcelona and the Moderniste Eixample." Full review
DK Eyewitness "From the opulent firstfloor salon to the lovely rooms – each with antique furniture – this hotel offers a chance to step back in time."
Lonely Planet "Some characterful Modernista touches remain on the 1st floor of this elegant hotel."
