Beautiful hotel and amenities in very convenient, less densely touristy location.
Pros:

Great location just outside the gothic quarter, so less touristy but easy walking access to many sights. A lux beautiful old hotel, staff was great at all levels. Room was spacious, had nice big bathroom, great towels, and the onsite restaurants (rooftop garden with great views, breakfast and afternoon tea, and in particular Amar Barcelona ( Michelin recommended) in the lobby, were all great.

Cons:

We love charming historic hotels, and though this was larger in size and perhaps fancier (lots of doorman and staff) than we normally go for, it was great and we loved it. It is on a busy large street but that didn’t bother us, ended up being very convenient.
