Located one block from the bustling Passeig de Gràcia, the late-night traffic can be noisy; book a room on the fifth or sixth floor for a quieter stay.
DK Eyewitness "Inside is a small museum of pre-Colombian art, some of which also decorates the suites. Guests get free admission to the Museu Egipci, run by the hotel owner."
Lonely Planet "Inside the fine 19th-century Palacio Verdura lurks one of the city's best-known designer digs."
Afar Magazine "Owned by notable art collector and Egyptologist Jordi Clos, Hotel Claris occupies Palacio Vedruna, an 18th-century palace that was remodeled in 1992." 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."

"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.
