My stay at this hotel was probably the best I’ve had in recent years. Mariano and the entire team were professional, attentive, and genuinely friendly, making me feel very welcome from the start. The facilities were spotless and perfectly prepared, even though we arrived several hours earlier than expected. The breakfast was exceptional, with a great selection of fresh fruits, cheeses, cold cuts, breads, and pastries. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. I would definitely stay here again the next time I visit Barcelona.

The service was as good as, if not better than, any hotel we have ever stayed at…anywhere. The hotel has old world grandeur and luxury that we really appreciated, with wonderful restaurants and bars. The rooftop restaurant and views from the rooftop deck were a highlight of our stay. We highly recommend the hotel and we look forward to staying with you again on our next Barcelona trip.

We arrived a few hours early from our international flight with 3 rooms booked and a 3pm check in time. They kindly gave us one room and another one a couple hours early. This provided a very welcome place to store our bags and get some rest before 3pm. Also the hotel rooms themselves were among the most convenient and elegant of anywhere we’ve stayed. Fabric walls kept outside noise to a whisper, if anything. The shower - wow beautiful marble and 2 sinks in bathroom. The restaurant in the am for breakfast is a show stopper and the rooftop restaurant was perfect for dinner. Too bad the movie was only playing on Halloween and we were ready to watch it on 10/27!
