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

Avoid interior rooms—they're smaller and almost devoid of natural light.

DK Eyewitness "Original details, such as beautiful tiled floors and woodwork, have been preserved alongside modern amenities. Excellent central location."
