Grand Hotel Central

Fodor's Review:

Recently opened in the famous Cambó house on the edge of the Gothic Quarter very near the Barcelona cathedral, this hot new midtown hideaway is becoming a magnet for the hip and swashbuckling from around Europe and beyond. Rooms are flawlessly furnished and equipped with high-tech design features like flat-screen TVs. 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. Pros: Excellent location between the Gothic Quarter and the Born, attentive service, full gamut of high-tech amenities. Cons: Via Laietana is noisy, so go by the rule: the higher, the better.
