Duquesa de Cardona

Fodor's Review:

This refurbished 16th-century town house overlooking the port has contemporary facilities with designer touches. Exterior rooms, though small, have views of the harbor, the World Trade Center, and the passenger-boat terminals. The hotel is a 10-minute walk from everything in the Gothic Quarter or Barceloneta, and no more than a 30-minute walk from the main Eixample attractions. The miniature rooftop pool, more for a plunge than a real swim, provides relief in summer. Pros: At a key spot over the port, contemporary technology in a traditional palace. Cons: Rooms on the small side, roof terrace is tiny, views over port blocked by Maremagnum complex.
