"Some hotels make statements, some push the boundaries of architecture or engineering or aesthetics, some invite you to live for a few days like a Ferragamo or a maharaja — and some, like Barcelona’s H10 Catalunya Plaza, are just good hotels. It starts with a polestar-central location right on Catalunya Plaza, at the axis of the Barri Gòtic, El Raval and L’Eixample, where La Rambla and Passeig de Gràcia intersect. (Did you hear the sonic boom as this page just shot up the search-engine rankings?) Arrive by train and the distance to the check-in desk may not be any longer than the line for a taxi; Catalunya station is twenty meters away." - Tablet Hotels
