Michelin Guide Star
"Behind this establishment's attractive, classical facade is a designer reception hall and an elegant social area."
Frommer's "It's located in a magnificent 19th-century Belle Epoque mansion, which has been tastefully renovated and refurbished with additional 21st-century accoutrements." Full review
Concierge "At chef Ramon Freixa's eponymous restaurant (which received a Michelin star), the amuse-bouche is actually ten different small bites, and breakfast consists of five different pastries."
Fodor's "Discreetly tucked away in the midst of the Salamanca shopping district, this is a gem of a boutique hotel. It's chic but low-key." Full review
Star Service "This hotel is certainly unique, but it is its distinctive service standards, in-room amenity roster, sedate, trendy interiors, and dining room, not necessarily its size that make it one of a kind." Full review

The garden rooms avoid the faintest whisper of street noise but feature exhibitionism-inducing floor-to-ceiling windows in the bathroom that might be off-putting to some.
Mr & Mrs Smith "Royalty would feel at home in this gilded hideaway with its fine cuisine, decadent decor and elaborate sculptures." Full review
