Absolutely amazing experience. Top notch, classy, and definitely made us feel upscale. The place isn't necessarily cheap (our weak CAD didn't help) but in my opinion it was worth the splurge. You can tell the entire place was very thought out to bring a premium experience from the moment you walk in with the front desk staff, the rooms, the service, the common spaces - it even smelled classy inside (they told us it was a custom scent created for their hotel haha, wish we could have bought it!). The rooftop pool was very lovely, the main floor cocktail bar was also a highlight. The lounge, library, and reading room were also a great spot to curl up with a book or do remote work. They even had a "freshen up room" downstairs that allowed you a private place to take a shower, use the washroom, and change if you found yourself at the hotel before or after your checkin/checkout. The rooms were comfy, had an exquisite and fancy mini bar, but the best part was of course the location. Literally steps away from Parc de la Ciutadella out front and steps away from the El Born neighbourhood/Gothic Quarter, which has more shops, restaurants, cafe, cocktail bars, and other cool stuff to explore than you could imagine! It's also only about a 20 minute walk to La Barceloneta Beach and neighbourhood, which it totally worth the visit. Overall we were super pleased with the service and thought that the higher price tag was worth it. We'd stay here again or at other hotels in the chain!
