Pros
Pros
- The hotel is located directly on La Rambla and next to the Mercat de Boqueria, plus within walking distance to numerous sites and cool neighborhoods.
- Known as a "museum hotel," the property houses a collection from the building's previous and historic tenant, Bagués-Masriera Jewellery Store, a 100-year-old brand.
- You'll find nods to the building's past with its decor and room elements, including the golden vine sculpture at the main staircase and stained-glass flowers on the room doors.
- Enjoy a breakfast buffet in the elegant lobby bar and dining area, which has a great reputation among locals.
- Relax on the rooftop terrace, complete with a plunge pool, sundeck, loungers, and tapas bar, plus exceptional city views.
- The rooms have a lot of dark elements (dark wood, black furnishings, etc.), so they can feel a bit dark and lack natural light.
