"All that Gaudí architecture has set the bar rather high for Barcelona’s builders, and the Alma Barcelona proves it’s very much up to the challenge. It’s no cathedral, but its interiors, all minimalist subtlety, epitomize the quieter side of Barcelona’s visual style, which is at its best in the largely residential Eixample. It’s the next best thing to keeping your own pied à terre, just off the legendary shoppers’ boulevard Passeig de Gràcia, but without having to look after your own upkeep and service." - Tablet Hotels
