Gran Hotel La Florida

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.
