A little gem of a hotel, Castellnou is just two steps from the train that can whisk you to the middle of town. It's also not far from the freeway to the Pyrenees and handy to upper Barcelona's attractions in Sarrià, Pedralbes, and Sant Gervasi. The restaurant is intimate, but there are also a dozen good places to dine within easy walking distance. The service is warm and friendly, and the rooms are contemporary with sleek new furnishings. Pros: a refuge from the city, small enough for personalized service, modern design. Cons: a long way from the Gothic Quarter and the Eixample, rooms and public spaces cramped.
