Address: Gran via corts catalanes 642 , Barcelona 08007, Spain Show on map
This place oozes old-fashioned elegance and much of its 19th-century interior remains intact. Guest rooms have been comfortably tweaked, but the public areas, complete with antique furnishings, retain the grace of another age and there's a wonderful courtyard in which to relax after a long day.If you head straight for the reception desk - which looks like a caretaker's cubby hole from the 1930s - you'll get the feeling that this is a place whose time has passed. You couldn't be more wrong. Take a step back and look up - fluted columns, a grand old staircase and an immaculate central atrium give a more accurate impression of what lies beyond the lobby. The public hallways are wonderfully decorated with period furnishings. The rooms are a little more prosaic, with parquet floors and antique-style bedheads. They are light, spacious and airy. The hotel also has a business centre and broadband internet access.

If you're a shopper you could not be better placed. El Corte Inglés, Spain's best-known department store, lies just a few blocks south on Plaça de Catalunya, while the more boutique shopping experience is L'Eixample's forte to the north.
