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 Cram is a very cool hotel in a great location in Barcelona. The rooms while small were very stylish with all the amenities that you would need. We stayed there for three nights before a cruise and loved it. The location was great; close enough to walk to the metro and some of the Gaudi sights but also in a quiet enough area to relax. Loved the rooftop deck although the 15 year old with us laughed at the "pool". Great restaurants nearby even right across the street.
What the hotel could do better:
There were a few problems with the TV in one of the four rooms we had reserved but the staff took care of it. We could not get into the restaurant Gaig which is in the hotel, so if you want to eat there make reservations well in advance.
