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
