Architecturally-minded visitors to Barcelona can’t help but have high expectations these days — it seems every building is either an ultra-modern masterpiece or a centuries-old treasure. These expectations are more than satisfied by Hotel CRAM, a bit of both worlds: a tour de force of modern interior architecture behind an elegant 19th-century facade.
Here modern design doesn’t mean monochrome, either. The obligatory white walls and polished light hardwood floors are livened with splashes of color, from blood red and rust orange to subdued gun-metal grey. The bedrooms are on that highly desirable line between funky and futuristic — they’re sleek, to be sure, but eminently habitable, with plentiful natural sunlight, sprawling platform beds and all the modern must-haves, including 32-inch LCD televisions and wireless internet access throughout.
An outdoor swimming pool offers a break from the heat and the crowds of central Barcelona, while the lobby bar is the perfect transition into this city’s legendary nightlife. Most fortuitous, though, is the fact that the hotel just happens to be the new home of the Michelin-starred Gaig restaurant, where the chef of the same name serves his signature fare, a sort of back-to-basics cuisine with an emphasis on traditional flavors and stripped-down preparations. Four blocks from the Passeig de Gracia and six from the Plaça Cataluña and the Ramblas.

What I liked:
A drink by the pool on the roof terrace as the sun went down over Barcelona's roofs and the temperature dropped from scorching to balmy was bliss. The high-tech specs of the room were a boon for the gadget-savvy (or should that be -crazy). The front of house staff were knowledgeable and friendly.
What the hotel could do better:
The room and its wardrobe space in particular was a tad small...

What I liked:
Location, location, location! You truly can't beat it the location at Hotel Cram. You can nearly walk the whole city from this hotel because you are at the center of everything. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
What the hotel could do better:
Nothing. Pleasant experience and good value.
