Frommer's Review

This former fashionable 1920s hostelry -- a firm favorite with top Spaniards, from movie idols to monarchy -- was transformed into a hospital during World War II before reemerging as a stylishly renovated hotel a few years ago. Filled with works of art that would not be out of place in a high-profile city gallery, it offers an array of immaculately furnished and decorated rooms and suites, all with spacious en-suite marble bathrooms with separate bath and shower. Since the hotel sits high up on Tibidabo hill, most rooms boast magnificent views. Communal amenities include a world-class restaurant, L'Orangerie; a spa and infinity pool; and terraced gardens. Service is courteous and attentive, and -- a small but gracious personal touch -- guests are welcomed with glasses of rose-petal water on arrival.

Facilities:
Restaurant; private nightclub; indoor/outdoor pool; health club; Jacuzzi; sauna; solarium; Turkish bath; business center; room service; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms

About Our System

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.
