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:
The design of the hotel was superb. Not only beautiful to look at but well considered and comfortable to use. The rooms are compact and bijou but when you are on a short city break most time is spent exploring the city. The common areas had a really romantic ambiance, soft light and interesting furniture. Lighting throughout the hotel was impressive and effective. Free internet, tv and movies was a bonus.
The staff were friendly and helpful and their english was good.
I am happy to recommend the Hotel Cram, Barcelona.
What the hotel could do better:
Any additional food or drinks were an extra charge including breakfast which was expensive. We had a shortage of hot water but when we asked for assistance it was sorted out immediately.
