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 rooms are quite large, but be sure to ask for one facing Las Ramblas; those that don't suffer from a lack of sunlight.
