"Located just off Paseo de Gracia, Claris is a mix of classic decor and a slightly hipster vibe. Throughout the hotel, you'll find English furniture pieces from the 18th- and 19th-centuries, Roman sculptures from the 2nd- and 3rd-centuries, original etchings commissioned by Napoleon, and so on. There's also a museum featuring Egyptian art from the the Jordi Clos Archaeological Foundation’s private collection. And a modest rooftop pool."

"Only in architecturally adventurous Barcelona would one find a downtown grand hotel in a style like this; Claris Hotel & Spa GL is a postmodern mélange of the modern and the classic, visible from a glance at the exterior—the 19th-century shell of the Vedruna Palace remains, but it’s as though the palace’s roof has been removed, and the taller, narrower, modern metal-and-glass Hotel Claris dropped in from above." - Tablet Hotels

The hotel is in an excellent location, beautifully designed, and offers great service. The bed was extremely comfortable, and I loved the thoughtful bathroom addition - not only a hairdryer, but also a hair straightening iron was provided. CLEANING: A special applause to the housekeeping team. I couldn’t figure out whether they came once or twice per day, but our room was always clean and the bed made even after a mid-day nap!. Every evening they came to close both interior and exterior blinds to make the room super dark, and leave chocolates on the pillow. ROOM: We had a supreme room and our room was big enough with plenty of storage space. We had a courtyard-facing room, which made it quiet and absolutely dark at night. The mattress and pillows were comfortable and we slept amazingly well. Bathroom was of a decent size and had a full-size tub. Overall, the room was great. Now, regarding improvements: BREAKFAST: Breakfast was honestly disappointing. The buffet was very small, identical every day, and without any local dishes. I love 5-star hotel breakfast and usually attend them to try new local dishes - but here it was limited to a couple of cheeses and cold cuts, a few fruit and vegetables, muscle station and some baked goods - with nothing regional. There was also a-la-cart menu with a few egg dishes and pancakes - nothing interesting. I ended up skipping half of my prepaid breakfasts. I would have loved to see more variety of dishes and local specialties I couldn't try in other countries. SHAMPOO: 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner. Are you guys serious? In what world are those still a thing? 😄 Unfortunately, my long hair hated it - by the end of the stay, my hair felt like dry grass. Separate, higher-quality products would be a much-appreciated upgrade. Overall: good quiet hotel, great location, great service and subpar breakfast. I would say it is a great value for the price. I would stay here again, but I would skip the breakfast and bring my own conditioner.

I had a fantastic, if too short stay at the Claris while awaiting a cruise out of Barcelona. First the rooms are small, even by European standards, but thoughtfully laid out, while the bathroom is quite large. The large tub was very welcoming after a long day of shopping. I find the hotel well situated, in a quiet neighborhood just a block away from Passeig de Gràcia station and the luxury stores. I had both breakfast and tapas at the hotel, with both being excellent. Breakfast was a combination of buffet with a made-to-order egg station, and I had some confusion about how to order. Luckily, the waiter was fantastic and attentive, explaining the process and keeping me well caffeinated. Service throughout the hotel was impeccable as I would expect from a five star property. I arrived early in the morning and the front desk staff was able to store my luggage and text me when my room was ready, but also put in a rush dry cleaning order before I even checked in. My luggage was waiting in my room when I did check in later in the day. Staff were also able to quickly repair an issue with my window while I was out to dinner. I also greatly enjoyed the small museum located inside the hotel, as well as the historical headboard inside my room. My stay also included free admission to the nearby Egyptian Museum of Barcelona also owned by Mr. Clos’s foundation. All of Mr. Clos’s hotels apparently include a museum.

We had such a wonderful time at Hotel Claris. The receptionist upgraded our room and we had an adorable two story suite that made the stay that much more pleasant. The staff were attentive and helpful and gave us excellent advice on where to eat. Everything was convenient. The only downside is that the rooms on the Main Street in front are a little loud due to traffic and pedestrian noise. We slept through it but it was noticeable. But that’s also part of the deal when staying in the heart of the city. I would absolutely stay here again.

Claris is a beautiful property. We stayed for 6 days for the Barcelona Padel Championships. Check in seemed to take a long time and the room (Junior Suite) was not what we expected from the pictures, which give the impression of a two room, duplex suite. Our room was a larger single room with barely space for a sofa and small table next to the bed. I complained and was told that they do have duplex junior suites but ours was the standard junior suite. The shower is equipped with a steam generator and ours was not working. To their credit, they upgraded us to a 5th floor grand suite, which is a proper two room suite with a working steam shower. Breakfast is excellent and the staff are terrific. On our next to last night the hotel had a birthday party on their open terrace on the 7th floor which was extremely loud and very disturbing as our room’s bedroom windows open into the central air shaft. There was loud music, shouting and loud singing until well past midnight that reverberated to our bedroom making it impossible to sleep. I complained and was told the reception would leave a note to the manager but I never heard from him. This was very disappointing and not at all what you would expect from a five star hotel.

Undoubtely, one of my best hotel stays, ever. While the rooms are on the small side, the layout is very efficient and cozy. Nespresso coffee machine in room and free mini bar. The best breakfast buffet! Staff is fantastic. Within walking distance to restaurants and major shopping district. Will definately return!

Excellent location, beautiful hotel and rooms, warm check-in, very comfortable and pleasant experience overall. We would definitely come back to this hotel. |However, do note that the room assigned to us was practically windowless so there is no natural light in the room which is a pity when you travel to a sunny place.|Additionally, lighting in the beautiful and well designed bathrooms is rather low and painful if you want to apply any basic makeup.

Nice hotel, rooms are a little small. If you are 2 adult and one kid, no suites available only junior one apparently. Be prepared. The front desk staff is nice but could be warmer, the rest of the staff is really nice. Especially the staff on the rooftop, excellent there. It is perfectly centered in the city.

We can't say enough great things about the beautiful hotel and the absolutely AMAZING staff that pampered us, spoiled us and treated us like family! You made our stay so special and wonderful!!! The property is amazing, the breakfast was delicious and the egg/omelette maker NAILED it!! SOOOOO yummy!!! The Bellmen, Ruben, Oscar and Dennis went above and beyond to help us with anything we needed, including getting us cabs, giving us great recommendations, holding our luggage, opening our doors, pouring us Cava and always greeting us with friendly smiles!! Special thanks to the sweet girls, Lluna and Ornella that spoiled us with the most amazing room and a bottle of Cava and delicious Chocolates!! AMAZING!!! Alvin Theodore at breakfast was also over the top and so kind and was so attentive to anything we might need!! To all the other staff including the concierges, cleaning crew and rooftop servers, THANK YOU!!! You made our stay one we will always remember and cherish!! We stay at a lot of Hotels, and this one tops the charts!! We will never stay anywhere else if we are lucky enough to travel to Barcelona again!! You guys are the BEST!! From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!!!!

We were booked at the Claris by Princess Cruises prior to our Mediterranean cruise. I wouldn't have picked a better hotel for our 2-night stay. Location was great - close to convenience stores and restaurants. Check-in was smooth - the staff at the front desk were so welcoming and offered water when we arrived along with some candy at the lobby. Since we arrived pretty early, the rooms weren't ready, but the staff did their best to get us settled in our rooms by noon. The bellmen were helpful and courteous. We had breakfast at the basement restaurant while waiting for our rooms and our server was amazing (he was a nice gentleman whose parents were from the Philippines). He was friendly, welcoming and attentive to our needs. The hotel is beautiful. I love buildings that have a lot of history, and this one certainly does! Love the art pieces all over the hotel including artwork in the rooms. The room was clean and spacious. Non-alcoholic beverages in the mini-bar were complimentary to enjoy. I would definitely stay here again!

Stayed in a duplex suite, which was beautiful. Plumbing issues in our sink, bath tub and shower. No maintenance on staff. Poor housekeeping. Blood stain on our sheets, and thick layer of dust under our bed indicating that it hadn't been cleaned in months. Only received turn down service on our second night, after complaining that our room hadn't been cleaned at all. COVID test was improperly scheduled by the front desk and I almost missed my flight home due to their error. With the exception of few, staff is unapologetic for their incompetence. It's a beautiful property but management is severely lacking. After all we suffered, we were only offered 15% off of our room service charges. They then did not apply it to all charges, so we only got a $7 discount. It was more offensive than if they had done nothing at all. There are plenty of beautiful hotels in the world. Contacted hotel group manager before writing a review to give them an opportunity to make it right, he did nothing. Avoid this place.

The bellmen took the luggage from the cab when we arrived and sent us inside to meet Monica who checked us in and offered us a beverage right away. She was able to give us information on our sight seeing adventures. She even booked the hop on/off bus for us. There are two routes, blue and red. The hotel is a block from both routes. You are also walking distance to La Sagrada Familia and multiple metro stations. The restaurants in the area were fantastic. We tried the Barcelona paella called fideua, which is made with pasta instead of rice. Ask the concierge to make reservations for you. The bellmen were great to arrange transportation and delivered the bags to the room quickly. The room was very clean and modern with USB ports on each side of the bed for charging your phone. The bathroom had plenty of counter space. There was a tub and a nice stand alone shower with a ceiling shower head. We only stayed 3 nights but the staff treated us like we had been friends for years. Great experience. I highly recommend this hotel for your Barcelona journey.

Beautiful hotel & located walking distance from everything like all designer shopping stores & the famous Sagrada Família. Staff was very nice & helpful. You get complimentary bottles of water daily & nespresso capsules, very fancy. The hotel has a traditional doorman in the front. They're WiFi is amazingly fast! Also they give you a phone to use if you need one to make international calls or use while your out and about.

Location was spot on, and I preferred this over some of the other hotels in this area (which have been a bit stuffy). I actually booked this stay a little late, so there were not many hotels available for the days I was there, but it ended up working out quite nicely! My review comes off a work trip, so of course I booked a Duplex, and seriously this room was incredible. The downstairs was the bed and bathroom, and the upstairs had a nice couch and table to work from at the end of a day walking around the city. Claris has an incredibly beautiful rooftop full of plants, a small pool and a restaurant which I had lunch at. Really enjoyed sitting up there for a little and looking down on the streets from the restaurant above!

Debi R.

The doorman was awesome as well as the registration staff. They offer the guests a free phone to use as a hot spot or make international calls while you're there. It took us a few days to fully figure it out. The concierge was t much help. The roof top was beautiful, very clean with beautiful views. The turndown service was daily was great and Hotel is located in a great location. We walked everywhere! We had a junior suite which at first sight is beautiful. The stairs to the loft are open and beautiful. The individual artwork gives each room an individual feeling. I was pleased with the room when we first arrived. Then we started looking for a spot to put our luggage. We had 2 large suitcases and there literally was no spot to put them. The room had a suitcase stand about 12" square. I lived out of my suitcase on the floor for 5 days. The night stands by the bed were also about 10" square. There was no place to put anything. The loft had a lot of room but I couldn't drag my suitcase up there. Most of our items were on the floor or piled on the staircase. The bathroom was also beautiful with a 4' long country sink which left us with a total of maybe 12" square bathroom countertop. Again, we used the floor. There was no counter or desk to sit down at to put makeup on. I sat upstairs on the sofa holding my makeup mirror. Very inconvenient. The hair dryer plugged in on the right side of the counter which left no place to set down other than the sink. So, everything about the hotel was nice, clean and the location was great and the breakfast was beautiful! But as far as functionality, it gets a big zero. For $550/ night I expect to have a spot to put on makeup, a place to set my luggage rather than on the floor under the stairwell and a bit of bathroom counter. The space is there, it's just totally un-usable.

Arrived last night. Thank goodness Claris offers airport shuttle since Barcelona has no Uber lol. Location is within walking distance to major attractions, shopping and best restaurants. The hotel is cozy but elegant. Spotless lobby. Front desk staff Fernanda and Elias are the best! Very friendly, helpful and courteous! Already feeling at home which is a good thing. Great first impression, LOVE IT!!!

It's the little things. Little things like a door man, original art in every room, and a hotel staff that is stellar. It's the little things. Little things like welcome flowers, hand written notes, and great bath towels. It's the little things. It's the little things that make this hotel a big competitor. It's the little things that make big differences. It's the little things that make me have big love for Claris.

A wonderful hotel with an excellent service! The decoration is spectacular, between tradition and modernity. The rooftop with the piscine is a perfect place for a drink (I recommend the mojito). The Suite includes a private sauna and two separated bathrooms. Very comfortable, the bedroom is exceptional !

This was our first hotel in Barcelona for our honeymoon and it was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!! We got room upgrades twice during our stay. The staff is sincere, courtesy, and very accommodating. They helped us plan out our stay in the city with local foods, bars, and attractions. This hotel is centrally located and in a safe/quiet area at night. You can easily walk to most places in the city (metro station is two blocks away as well) . One of the best and possibly overlooked aspects of the hotel is a free mobile hot spot! Take it with you as you go around the city. You don't need to buy a SIM card or worry about connecting to WiFi at cafes. The battery lasts the entire day. We used google maps to get around and it was perfect. Lastly, they have electronic blackout style shades which are amazing for having a pitch black room to sleep in (especially if you're jet lagged!!).

Helen S.

Yelp

this is absolutely the worst 5 star hotel I have stayed at. The staff had to be reminded about giving us new bottle of water or coffee pods in the room. And the decor in the room is not half as good as the pictures represent. The bedding is very uncomfortable and cheap. The rooms are terribly small and feels humid. Really I would say it is at most a four star hotel. I always stay in five star hotels for my trips, this might amaze some people who have been choosing more economical stays but definitely not for someone who is used to top notch service. I hope they will address the issues.

We had a fabulous meal there last night. Service was good in spite of one of the wait staff not coming to work.

Nice Rooms. Great fantastic Area. Close to everything. When you get free breakfast you will always wait 20minutes before anyone takes your order and then another 25minutes to get your food. That seems perfectly normal to everyone who works here. Service sucks unless you order room service. No spa or pool. Also make sure you don't eat where concierge recommends because they only send you where they get kick backs. Also don't let the bellman or hotel get you any taxis or ride services because you will get charged 10 to 15% more.

really beautiful hotel pro's -- gorgeous rooms, blackout curtains (for great sleep), friendly and helpful staff, tasty restaurant on site, centrally located cons -- an hour and a half free wifi every day but only if you have a working cell phone that can receive text messages, otherwise you have to pay per day for Kubi wifi service which is pretty slow.... ive stayed at 1 and 2 star hotels that offer free wifi....even cafes and bars offer free wifi now =/ why not you hotel claris?? NOISY cleaning staff thin walls in general....you can hear the neighbors talking and showering etc and anyone in the hallway

Great rooftop bar. Fun lamps that make for nearly professional photography lighting while you take goofy iPhone photos.

The hotel is lovely, clean and modern. They promise free wifi which is only free for the first 3 days. After that you can't even buy any more wifi access. We have another day to go and have no wifi. The TV has almost no English speaking channels. In fact Barcelona is not all that non- Catalunyan or Spanish speaking friendly. It's much harder to navigate for that reason alone than much of Italy, Denmark or Holland. Not many food choices if you don't eat meat or cheese which they serve at every meal. I do recommend the hotel as it is very conveniently located.

A. J. D.

Yelp

Awesome location for a cocktail to kickoff or end your night. I had a new fashioned which is a old fashioned made with rum instead of bourbon and it was awesome. My bride had a mojito which I think was the best mojito I ever tasted. Service took a while but I wasn't too concerned as we were enjoying watching dusk settle in.

Everything was perfect here. The rooms, bathroom were clean, beds were comfortable. Service was exceptional and fast. They gave us great suggestions on restaurants and places to visit. They also took care of reservations anywhere or any ticket issues. Breakfast every morning was also delicious. Over all ill stay here again

Michael H.

Yelp

Diligent, attentive and experienced staff. The hotel was accommodating to the teenagers and they loved the rooftop pool. Late afternoon/early evening drinks and appetizers while watching the kids swim before dinner was a great way to finish the day. Very comfortable beds, strong AC and ultra modern bathrooms. They had an above average breakfast to start the day. Art presentation throughout hotel was impressive. All members of the family would go back in a heart beat. I cannot find any negatives.

Steven G.

Yelp

Whomever granted this hotel 5 stars should have their license revoked. The interior is shabby; the second floor hallway has wall tiles and a ceiling panel held in place with masking tape. My room, to which I was "upgraded" had peeling paint and a choking smell of ammonia. Maybe it was in its prime 10 years ago but now I would suggest passing it up. It was also Very Expensive!

Rebecca A.

Yelp

What a wonderful hotel! My boyfriend and I spent the first days of our euro trip here and could not have been more thrilled. The hotel itself is gorgeous and we were upgraded to a truly mindblowing suite, which is probably the nicest room I have stayed in my entire life. Loved it. Also they have incense burning in the hallways which I found really unique and relaxing. Also amazing was the rooftop deck with a pool and gorgeous views of Barcelona. The bar had this absolutely delicious anchovy tapa which we devoured. I was also obsessed with the rose cava they had. And can we discuss breakfast here?! I thought my eyes were going to pop out of my head when I first saw it (and every day after). A huge variety of meat, cheese, fruit, multiple types of yogurt, a really delicious in house yogurt pudding, pan tomaca, literally the list goes on. And they had a really extensive a la carte menu that you could order off of as well. My boyfriend loved the pancakes he had. Finally we found the staff to be equally lovely and accommodating at every turn to both myself (bilingual Spanish speaker) and my boyfriend (not a Spanish speaker). This place is truly a must stay when in Barcelona.

In the newer section of Barcelona, Hotel Clairis was wonderful. It was ideally located, one block away from passeig de gracia, a Main Street with shopping, restaraunts and the metro station where most train lines run. It was not too far from avenue diagonal-another main avenue, and located near some main attractions like sagrada familia. There are plenty of restaurants close by as well. In addition to the friendly staff and beautiful rooms, there is a rooftop pool, which was perfect on days when you are touring and don't want to make the trip to the beach. The seats that are available near the pool were limited though, but the staff does try to accommodate you in any way possible. We mentioned that we were on our honeymoon and when arriving, were given a bottle of champagne and chocolates, as well as a room upgrade. It was very nice. I think the service, amenities and location makes this hotel worth every penny.
