The hotel is a modern building, but it blends well with the traditional Gothic Quarter buildings that surround it. With 156 rooms the hotel is quite large for its location. However it does not have the feel or look of a large hotel. The entrance and lobby make good use of green marble, dark stained wood and frosted glass. The hotels interior is modern and comfortable, making it suitable for the business clientele it entertains during the week but also perfect for the weekend leisure market. The rooms are, in general, a good size for Barcelona and their decor (dark blues, cream and cherry red) is modern and really well thought out. The hotel itself has only been running since 2000, so everything still has a very fresh and modern feel. The staff are helpful and informative, this is a strongly recommended hotel providing an excellent base and high level of service.
