"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."

Claris Hotel & Spa GL (Barcelona, Catalonia) 16 Hotel Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"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

All style, no substance. This hotel seems to be for people blind to costs and who can spend freely. The hotel is beautiful but that's about it. The pool terrace has a capacity of 10 for a 124 room hotel. Getting a drink laying by the pool was difficult and presented with zero hospitality. My shower was either broken or required and in person demonstration to operate--I passed on the demo. The wifi is abysmally slow for it being 2025 (<20 mbps) but marketed as "premium". The windows are so thin you can hear all the traffic below you as if the windows were open. For the cost (sometimes over 400 euro per night) there is no value other than the location. There are so many better options in the city than this hotel. When I'm on vacation I want to feel comfortable and at ease, this wasn't it. Yeah there's a bellman and a staff available to helplessly attempt accommodating what should be considered basics, but at this price point that isn't good enough. I was excited to end my trip to Barcelona at Claris, but now I regret booking here.

Firstly the roof terrace is beautiful. I thought the pool was surprisingly big for being in a city centre. Towels were provided and there was a pool side bar service (note no shallow area for smaller children - this does feel more of a hotel for adults) . I ate in the roof top terrace and the food was lovely, again not really for children though, the staff were pleasant but not overly welcoming (perhaps because I had a toddler there). ||The room was large enough, but the bed was a small double and quite hard. We also had a room directly beneath the roof top terrace so late in the evening and early morning you could hear the chairs scraping above you. The bed was very hard too. The complimentary water top up was helpful each day. The chocolate left with the blinds closed was a nice touch (although odd we only got 1 chocolate between 2, again perhaps the child wasn’t meant to be there!) slippers and robe in the room and I liked the electronic black out blinds - the room was very dark. Nice to have a coffee machine in the room too, although only 2 coffee capsules.||The location was very nice, I felt safe walking around on my own. Walked to Sagrada Familia, and all the way down to the beach (which is quite a trek in the heat) .||Overall I think I would recommend this hotel for couples, but perhaps pay slightly more for a better room to ensure you can enjoy the lovely facilities as well as having a good nights sleep. ||The roof top terrace and pool is certainly what makes this hotel fabulous and all the staff on the ground floor were very helpful.

It was an interesting experience in Barcelona overall, but the city no longer feels as welcoming as it did the first time I visited 30 years ago. It’s almost as if the city has swapped its spirit of hospitality with Paris! Surprisingly, Parisians are now much friendlier to tourists. That said, for a city that’s become known for “water-gunning” tourists, I suppose I should have adjusted my expectations accordingly.||This was one of the most expensive hotels I booked, over USD 500 ttc per night, but it certainly didn’t deliver a five-star experience. After four nights, I found myself wishing we had checked out earlier. Some of the front desk staff were grumpy and stingy with their smiles. At check-in, no one explained any Hilton Honors benefits, and my daughter’s extra bed, just a sofa (not even a sofa bed), was charged at €99 per night. Also 2 additional taxes from the city.||Breakfast was fine; while the selection was limited, the staff were attentive. The pool closed at 8 p.m., which meant we couldn’t use it at all after a day of sightseeing. Most hotel pools close at 9 or 10 p.m., so this was disappointing. The gym, located on the rooftop with no AC, was far too hot to be usable during the day.||The location of the hotel is excellent, but the unfriendly front desk staff really soured the experience. If I return to Barcelona, I definitely won’t be staying here again, hence my four-star review.

Lovely, unique hotel. We arrived early with jet lag, and our room was upgraded and ready early for us! The room was beautiful with an upstairs loft for our teenage son. Nice big bathroom. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful, from the front desk to the concierge, to the cleaning staff and the breakfast room. All wonderful. The breakfast was delicious and so many choices. Each morning they also made a special order to take up to the teenager who was still in bed. They were so kind to us. I stayed in the hotel in August of 2001 while traveling with my parents. I wanted to return and recreate those special memories. The hotel has been updated since then, but still holds its charm and uniqueness. You have exceeded all of my expectations! Thank you very much.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The hotel’s location is perfect—just steps away from high-end shopping and an excellent selection of restaurants.|The service throughout our visit was truly outstanding, a full 10/10.|A special mention goes to the host at breakfast. Unfortunately, I didn’t catch his name, but his warmth and attentiveness made a lasting impression and made our stay even more memorable.

Beware of Staff at Claris Hotel and Spa - My Worst Hotel Experience Ever I stayed at the Claris Hotel and Spa in Barcelona for over 20 days, using it as a hub during my summer travels across Europe. Regrettably, staying here was one of the worst decisions I could’ve made. While I’ve stayed at numerous places across the city , apartments and hotels alike nothing compares to the unnerving and suspicious behavior I experienced at this hotel. From the start, I’ve always been cautious with my belongings, especially when traveling long-term. I kept my room locked, kept track of everything I owned, and was always alert. But over time, I began to notice my items going missing. At first, it was small things nothing too alarming. I questioned myself, but after double-checking my steps, I realized the only people who could have accessed my room were hotel staff. When I brought it up to the front desk, they were completely unhelpful, so I tried to shake it off. However, as time passed, more items continued to disappear, which made me more vigilant. The breaking point came when I returned to my room unexpectedly and found my door wide open with THREE hotel staff members inside. One was from the cleaning crew (which I recognized), and the other two were staff I had seen in the breakfast area. They quickly rushed out of my room. The unsettling part? I had informed the hotel staff multiple times that I did not want cleaning services and wanted privacy during my stay. I voiced my concerns to management, and their response was incredibly dismissive. They told me the two additional staff members were "just cleaning the mini-fridge." However, when I checked the fridge, it was still dirty, which made their explanation seem highly suspicious. This entire situation caused me so much anxiety that I couldn’t leave my room for three days. I even witnessed another instance where a member of the cleaning staff opened my door when I was inside, despite it not being cleaning hours. It was clear to me that staff members were either not respecting my wishes or worse actively violating my privacy. Even worse, the staff refuses to wear name tags and hardly address guests properly, which makes the experience feel even more unsettling. I’ve always enjoyed staying at Derby Collection hotels, but this experience has completely soured my opinion. The staff here are not trustworthy, and I strongly advise anyone staying at this hotel to be cautious and protect their belongings carefully. Sticky fingers and wandering eyes seem to be an issue with certain staff members. For my peace of mind, I’m reporting this incident to corporate and will be taking legal action. Additionally, I requested to see the security footage from my room and was refused. I will pursue this further. Please, take this warning seriously.

We decided a last minute trip to Barcelona for my birthday. We after a couple hours of searching around, we found Hotel Claris to be the best in the area, a lot of places are close by and a very safe area. We checked in on my birthday and the process was easy and fast. They even had a gift for me, they made me feel special for my trip. Staff was very friendly. I would definitely recommend it.

Excellent stay in Barcelona last month! Location was fabulous, walking distance to many tourist attractions. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choices. Replenished daily mini bar with turn down service. Comfortable rooms with little street noise, and friendly staff all around.

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.

Yelp

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.

Amy E.

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.

Jamie M.

Yelp

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

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.
