Pros
- Chic courtyard with pool and snack bar
- Central location in the heart of Barcelona
- Unusual facade with intricate design that dates back to 1903
- Spa with beautiful, blue-lit indoor pool
- Free Wi-Fi
- Quaint balconies with wrought-iron railings on street-facing rooms
- Suites are spacious and some have terraces with splash pools
- Traditional Mediterranean cuisine at Pelai Restaurant
Bottom Line
Housed in the former headquarters of a renowned local newspaper, the Catalonia Ramblas features an unusual facade with a leaf motif that dates back to 1903. Inside, the decor is modern and minimalist, but lacks the historic charm of the hotel's exterior. Suites are spacious and some even have terraces with tiny splash pools. Standard rooms, however, feel a bit cramped. A chic courtyard with a pool and snack bar draws the crowds in the warmer months, but the hotel's main draw is its central location in the heart of Barcelona. Such a prime spot, however, means that the price tends to be a bit steep.
