Fodor's Review:

On the corner of Consell de Cent and just a block from Barcelona's busiest explosion of Moderniste architecture, the Manzana de la Discòrdia on Passeig de Gràcia, this hotel is also midway between the Eixample's two best mid-block passageways, Mendez Vigo and Passatge Permanyer. Decorated in pastel tones and sweeping economical lines, the Diplomatic offers good value and comfort for a central Eixample address. Rooms are bright, deocrated with contemporary furnishings and heavy drapes. Some have views over Carrer Pai Claris. Pros: bright contemporary lobby, friendly staff, high-tech equipment, well soundproofed. Con: somewhat antiseptic airport-waiting-room design.

Great Service, W Hotel type quality

Posted by chicago_dave from Chicago, Illinois USA on 1/22/07
If you are looking for a modern flair in the heart of Barcelona, this is the place for you. Great Boutique-style hotel, walking distance from all of the attractions, even the water front. Free mini bar is a great perk, take whatever you want and they will restock it the next day. We would definitely stay here again! and choose AC Hotels whenever we are traveling to Spain!
