Catalonia Albinoni ReviewAn ideal choice for shopaholics, the Albinoni is situated halfway up the Portal de l'Angel, where you'll find shoulder-to-shoulder Spanish fashion stores like Zara and Mango, and El Corte Inglés (Spain's major department store), at one end, and boutiques and trinket shops at the other. Housed in a former palace dating back to 1876, it was converted into a hotel in 1998 and totally refurbished -- while carefully retaining all its traditional highlights -- in 2007. It remains on Barcelona's artistic-heritage list and many of the original romantic and baroque features have been beautifully preserved. Not least impressive is the elegant marble lobby and stately interior courtyard where the bar and reception area are located. All of the 74 plush bedrooms have polished wood floors and comfortable beds. Breakfast (although overpriced) is served on the terrace under awnings.

Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip. Related Features Deals & News

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
