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
