Expert reviews

Frommers review:

“This landmark seven-story, 19th-century building is a genuine luxurious treat. Furnishings and decor throughout are a lavish amalgam of teak, marble, steel, and glass while the opulent gold-leaf ceilinged guest rooms feature wood marquetry and paneling, custom leather furnishings, safes, and some of the city’s most sumptuous beds.”

Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Barcelona.

Fodors review:

“Acclaimed as one of Barcelona’s best hotels, the Claris is an icon of design and tradition and connoisseurship. The lobby tells the tale: long curved sectional sofas and ottomans in rich brown leather, set here and there by a Japanese water garden.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Barcelona.

Telegraph review:

“The Derby Hotels chain is ever-increasing, but the Claris is the mothership – a huge, smart hotel with an old-school feel but modern trappings, including a rooftop pool. Its unique selling point, however, is the small museum of antiquities on the first floor, which is complemented by ancient artefacts in the rooms.”

Very central location, luxurious hotel

Nice rooftop terrace with bar / restaurant, comfortable and quite luxurious overall

Quite old-fashioned and dark decoration with antiques everywhere (inc. in the bedrooms), very slow staff at the front desk for our check-in. Breakfast was very expensive and served in the basement, with no daylight, and a very sad atmosphere.

Great looking hotel with really nice features.

Took a long time to checking. The bed was moving around. And the heat was heating the ceiling and not the bed. I suggest to improve the informatic system, to fix th3 bed and to have a fan in the room to move the air around.

Overall good.

The location was great, and quite central to everything. The staff were also super friendly and helpful with everything

Maybe a bit picky but the main shower had a problem with the temperature and upon arrival, the sinks didn't drain properly ( but that was later resolved). Also, our room didnt have the greatest view, which meant we always felt like we were in a cave.

Exceptional

The hotel is stunning. The rooms are unique and beautifully decorated. The grand suite duplex is one of the nicest hotel rooms i have stayed in. With a stunning bathroom. The in shower steam room was an excellent bonus along with the stand alone bathtub. The rooftop bar was by the far the best one we visited while in barcelona with beautiful views and fabulous atmosphere. The staff in the spa/ bar/ housekeeping/ reception were all so pleasent and helpful. I would highly recommend the Maysan secret Massage, it is one of the only massages i have ever received which left me completely tension free. The beds are also incredibly comfortable.

The only issue i had was there was maintenance work occurring which meant there was no hot water one morning with little pressure. My partner unfortunately had a shower where brown rusty water came down on top of him. However, it was only for a second and was due to maintenance work.

Beautiful clean hotel in great location. AC works well, huge plus!!

I loved the air conditioning which worked really well and the mattress was perfect especially because I was pregnant. The water pressure was very good and the cleaning staff were very attentive. I also enjoyed the complimentary water

The rooftop was full and we were disappointed that as hotel guests we weren’t able to find a seat on the Saturday afternoon. The staff on the rooftop restaurant were not very attentive and should have maybe tried to accommodate us.

Location, staff, price

Lack of space to put things by the bed. Bedside table taken up by huge lamp, no drawer in it. As a result I lost a couple of things which they've said they can't find... suspect they fell off the table and gone under the bed. Seems small but it was really annoying!

We would love to make this our Barcelona home away from home

We liked the service of the staff, from reception to the bellhops and porters as well as the cleaning & room service staff. Check-in was prompt and there was no long wait for our room. The terrace restaurant was also nice and atmospheric with talented staff.

On the last night, we extended our stay and changed to a smaller room: this was not a problem as the quality was consistent and it was comfortable and well equipped. However, we were not informed that the smaller room did not include additional complimentary drinks, so we had to pay a bit extra as we left. Overall it was still a wonderful stay and the staff was full of smiles.

Very good

Overall, it was a nice place to stay in Barcelona close to shops and transportation. I liked how they managed to decorate the whole hotel with some ancient arts and statues which looked very neat. The staff were very nice some were a bit ignorant but in general they were good.

It was a bit pricey for the time I stayed there.

Spa massage and roof top terrace was amazing

A very beautiful hotel, the best is the roof top terrace with beautifully created cactus and seating area.

I didn’t like that the suite was quite dark, not much daylight. There is no view at all, when you open the shades there’s a brick wall in front of you. it’s great for spending the night there but not for more time.

We had a fantastic stay in this hotel in Barcelona and would definitely stay there again. One of the best hotel experie

The location, decor and most importantly staff were superb. Very stylish and very accommodating team, especially given that we travelled with a 10 month old. The staff quite literally did everything they could to make our stay fantastic. The location is very central with great access to the main attractions in Barcelona.

The room was slightly small especially with the cot but that’s on us for booking a small room. I would go with a larger room next time. Other than that, perfect.

Very Good stay --- but don't expect to get late checkout

Staff in general were helpful Location Rooms Comfy beds

Couldn't get even an extra 30 minutes as late checkout not even for one of the rooms we had..seems that is the hotel policy as we get the rejection at the reception before even asking us for room details or which date we want it for.

Beautiful Hotel in a great location

The hotel was beautifully decorated, and the bedrooms well appointed with one of the most comfortable beds I’ve slept on. The pool/ rooftop area was great, comfortable sun loungers, lots of seating and great views of the city. The spa experience was fabulous! My husband and I had a 50 minute deep tissue massage, just excellent and very relaxing! I would certainly stay at this hotel again.

Most of the staff we came into contact with were brilliant, there was just a couple of occasions were the reception team couldn’t provide information or assist us contacting the spa to adjust our treatments while the spa was closed, we had to come back from our lunch to speak with them directly. The bathroom in the bedroom could do with a little updating as just didn’t have a luxury feel, unlike the beautiful bedroom. Lighting in the bedroom was not good, very dark and unflattering.
