Fodor's Review:
Widely considered Barcelona's best hotel, the Claris is a fascinating mélange of design and tradition. Rooms come in 60 different modern layouts, some with restored 18th-century English furniture and some with contemporary furnishings from Barcelona's playful legion of designers. Lavishly endowed with wood and marble, the hotel also has a Japanese water garden, a rooftop cocktail terrace and pool, and two first-rate restaurants, including East 47, which has become one of the most admired dining spots in Barcelona. Pros: elegant service and furnishings, central location for shopping and Moderniste architecture, facilities and technology perfect. Con: hard on the credit card.

BIG DISAPPOINTMENT
Posted by rik1000 from New York on 7/26/07
Could not fit our suitcases in the Claris' "Junior Suite". When we questioned management on the size of the suite, they said, "space in the heart of Barcelona is at a premium". We caught on after three different people used the same sentence. The free bottle of wine did not do it. NEVER AGAIN.
Lovely hotel in excellent location

We stayed at the Claris for 2 nights recently and found it quite nice. Our room was comfortable and well-equipped. We were given a mini-bottle of wine as a welcome gift. The staff was very professional and helpful. The location is great for upscale shopping and seeing the Gaudi buildings plus it's a pleasant 10-15 minute walk to La Ramblas.
