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
