At one extreme Barcelona’s got bold avant-garde architecture and streaming Mediterranean sunshine. And at the other it’s got quiet, chic little hideaways like the Murmuri, a 53-room boutique hotel just off the Passeig de Gràcia, in Barcelona’s central Eixample district.
There’s a refreshing lack of grand-hotel pomp here; though it’s quite a bit bigger than a guest house, the Murmuri is more like a stylish pied à terre. Here in the center of town what you’re after is a refuge, a bit of calm, and the Murmuri certainly offers that.
The rooms are chic, more fashion-world than design-world — elegant rather than avant-garde. Earth tones predominate, and the comforts are legion: flat-screen televisions, iPod docks, double-glazed windows and well-equipped modern bathrooms with top-shelf toiletries.
There’s no shortage of excellent dining in Barcelona, but the Murmuri’s restaurant is worth a look for its mix of Thai influence and Catalonian tradition. And how does a hotel this small and intimate manage to offer a pool, a spa, and a fitness center? It doesn’t, technically — but Murmuri guests have access to the facilities at the Majestic, a more typical luxury hotel a short walk away. It’s an arrangement that, in this case, works better than you might expect.

What I liked:
We liked the location and once inside our hotel room there was very little noise from outside or neighbouring rooms. We liked the interior design (well done Kelly!) including the mood lighting options within the room. It was nice that the TV had a few english language channels including BBCWO.
What the hotel could do better:
Without a doubt the only complaint really is WIFI - whilst it is available in certain areas within the hotel it is not free to use within your room - bah humbug!

Also received all Tablet Plus privileges, which is a pleasent change.
What the hotel could do better:
The front desk recommendations, particulaly for dinner needs improvement. I do not want to sit down for dinner along with coach loads of tourists, I want to experience fine local cuisine with the locals!
