Grand Hotel Central

Fodor's Review:

At the edge of the Gothic Quarter, very near the Barcelona cathedral, this hot new midtown hideaway is becoming a magnet for the hip and hot-to-trot. Rooms are flawlessly furnished and equipped with high-tech design features, from flat-screen TVs to DSL hookups. The restaurant, supervised by internationally acclaimed chef Ramón Freixa, is bound for glory, and the top-floor pool offers a unique perch over the city's 2,000-year-old Roman and Gothic central nucleus. The higher the better is the rule here, as street level can be noisy, soundproofing or not. Pros: excellent location between the Gothic Quarter and the Born, attentive service, full gamut of high-tech amenities. Con: the street outside is noisy and fast.
