The hotel was gorgeous! The rooms were very spacious, they we’re also decorate a beautifully, the breakfast was delicious, it had a variety of items to choose from. The staff was amazing. They were always on it, continually taking care of their gas. We felt very welcome from the minute we walked in the door, they let us have tea in the dining room while we were waiting for our room at no charge also. It was also within walking distance of shopping and many artistic buildings that we toured. I would highly recommend this hotel!

This was a first visit to Barcelona and one of our best hotel experiences ever! The central location is ideal whether you prefer walking, metro, or taxi. And this former Ritz property has been both beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated while retaining its classic elegance and charm. Our room was lovely and spacious with a stunning marble bathroom. But the best part of our stay was the amazing staff. From the General Manager to the Concierge to all of Guest Services, every single employee goes out of their way to make you feel welcome and to anticipate your every need, always with a smile. We'd love to visit Barcelona again, and we can't imagine staying anywhere else.
