$$-$$$, Eixample
Fodor's Review:
Bright wood and plenty of glass give this mid-city newcomer a contemporary, hip feel -- and the young party animals from around the world walking through the lobby do nothing to dispel the notion that something very clued-in must be going on here. Rooms are pristine, if a little sterile, with state-of-the-art bathrooms and light, sleek furnishings. A step from the Rambla at the lower edge of the Eixample, the location is dead center in the heart of Barcelona. Pros: exciting and sleek lobby, design hipsters clientele, smart and friendly staff. Con: tucked into the point of a triangle too close to the raging Carrer Pelai, inner-city brouhaha only a few feet away.
