Not to be confused with the delicate old-world Pulitzer in Amsterdam, this Pulitzer is as modern as they come, fitting effortlessly into Barcelona’s already expansive cohort of high-design hipster hotels. It’s a 2004 renovation of a Twenties building, and its carefully preserved facade offers little hint of the striking Art Deco-influenced spaces within — again, in true Barcelona style.

Where it departs slightly from the standard set by its peers is in its embrace of conspicuous luxury. The Pulitzer is unashamedly upscale, the public spaces festooned with deep leather sofas, lacquered bookshelves lined with books, and a collection of contemporary and antique artworks; bold and clean it is, but minimal it certainly isn’t.

Upstairs the rooms carry on in the same key; more leather, more rich dark wood, more top-quality furnishings, and upmarket musts like plasma televisions and free wireless internet. Bathrooms, the true measure of any hotel’s luxury quotient, are suitably decadent, tiled in grey stone, stocked with own-brand bath products and custom robes and slippers.

The restaurant and bar are fine ones, strong contenders in a town that’s already quite full of excellent restaurants and bars; the spaces are luxe and stylish, and the roof terrace is a genuine treat, ideal for a sunset cocktail. But you don’t come to Barcelona to shut yourself up in your hotel — the Pulitzer’s location, just off Plaza Catalunya and Las Ramblas, is at the heart of the city, placing all the best of Barcelona at your feet.

Pulitzer Barcelona review

by Marieta from Praha 3

Stayed June 2008

I Liked

I like about the hotel it's central location close to old town and shopping area

I Disliked

Apathetic front desk clerk without any energy or smile. Lobby is prettending to look nice - fancy and modern, but it is just a warehouse of furniture of various stiles and colors. There is no atmosphere in the hotel. Rooms are extremelly small and with cold atmosphere.

The gem of Barcelona

by Craig from Denver

Stayed April 2008

Overall rating: Excellent

I Liked

From the moment the taxi pulled up to the hotel to my check-out I was in love with this hotel. Clean, stylish and understated - it was exactly what I hoped it would be. The staff was impeccable! The rooms lovely and the service pristine. I can't say enough how much staying at The Pulitzer enhanced my visit to Barcelona. Ideal location, quiet street and an inviting lobby bar. I will definitely stay at The Pulitzer the next time I'm in Barcelona.

I Disliked

My expectations were not let down so I don't really have anything to dislike about the hotel.

Fair experience

by Mariko from London

Stayed April 2008

Overall rating: Fair

I Liked

Public Facilities: The bar downstairs has a lovely atmosphere; really relaxed and perfect for a drink before you go out to dinner. There is also free wireless internet so it is great to sit downstairs, have a coffee and research before heading out to sightsee. Location: The location of the pulizter was also perfect for sightseeing. Right in between the eixample and gothic quarter region. You can walk everywhere. The street is is on is also nice and quiet, unlike many of the other hotels which can be quite noisy. Service: The service was friendly and professional. On the second last day my finance got really sick, and we asked to leave early. They were incredibly kind and did not charge us a cancellation fee. This was the nicest part to our experience in the hotel.

I Disliked

Gym: They claimed they have gym facilities, but this is a gym that is a 10 minute walk from hotel, and is an independent gym. The plus side however is that the gym was a proper gym, not a small hotel gym with one treadmill. The frustrating part is the so called 5 minute walk, especially when you are not sure where you are going. Rooms: Our first room was aweful, the view was of a plastic roof and the back of a brick building. I went to have a shower and the water was cold!! We asked to move rooms, and finally I was able to have a hot shower. The rooms themselves are fine, but cheaply produced. So there are a lot of scuffs and marks on the furniture which makes it look old and dated. They claim the latest in technology like flat screen TV's, but these are the smallest TV's I have ever seen. The channel options were also limited, and no movies available. Either way with a screen so small & minimal channel options, there is no point in watching the TV. Finally they gave us twin beds pushed together in both rooms, which was not great for my fiance and I. They did not make the bed as a double either, so we were literally separated. I will say however the size of the rooms are decent. I read that many people stated that the rooms were tiny, comparatively I would say for a european hotel the standard room was a very decent size.

Hotel Pulitzer, Barcelona

by Christine from San Francisco

Stayed March 2008

Overall rating: Fair

I Liked

Excellent location near the Placa Cataluna. Beautiful bar and lounge area. Excellent Housekeeping.

I Disliked

We stayed at the Pulitzer at the beginning of March. Our standard room was very small and way too hot. We were unable to change the room's thermostat and we brought the heat issue to the management's attention. We were told they would adjust the central thermostat. The room remained hot for the three nights we were there and we slept with the windows opened - very noisy.

What is the Tablet Hotels Meter?

The Tablet Hotels Meter is a running average of the ratings given to a hotel by registered Tablet Hotels users who have actually stayed at the hotel. The scores are based on responses to our feedback survey, which is sent automatically to every user after the completion of a hotel stay booked through Tablet Hotels. We receive responses every day, the scores change accordingly - in real-time.

Tablet Hotels hotel ranking meter

This way we can be absolutely certain of the integrity of the rating process - on some travel websites, there is nothing preventing the General Manager from giving his own hotel a perfect score, or the concierge from across the street, posing as a dissatisfied guest, giving his competitor all zeros. You have probably seen questionable user reviews on other websites, whether flowery advertising copy written by fake guests, or vague negative attacks written anonymously. You will not see any of this on Tablet Hotels.

How does a hotel remain a Tablet Hotel?

We have selected nothing but the most unique and extraordinary properties from around the world, but circumstances at individual hotels can change quickly. Therefore it is up to our customers to inform us if one of our properties has taken a turn for the worse. The Tablet Hotels Meter works on a 20-point scale, and for a hotel to keep its place on Tablet Hotels, the magic number is 15.

This is not just an arbitrary figure; we have two years' worth of data, from past user feedback, and we have found that the hotels whose scores drop below 15 are those experiencing recurring problems, and guest detailed reports reflect the same serious concern, whether it be service, room quality, noise or something else.

The Tablet Hotels Meter will not display a score until we have had at least two customers rate the hotel. This way one person's unfortunate stay cannot carry too much weight. And once five guests have returned their verdicts, the rating becomes a more scientific measure of the opinion of the average guest. At this point, if the hotel's average overall score drops below 15, the hotel will be automatically removed from the site.

Your opinion really does count; in this case, it is the only thing keeping the hotels you visit on the site. On a more positive note, the hotels with top scores are featured in our "Tablet 10" lists. And as a side benefit, this system will encourage hotels to extend their best level of service to Tablet Hotels users - we turn every Tablet Hotels client into a reviewer!

Hotel Review and Travel Recommendation Guidelines

This is a moderated forum; all hotel reviews and travel recommendations must follow the Tablet Hotels and Tablet Talk guidelines below. We will not publish a hotel review or a travel recommendation unless it is:

Original

Please don't quote from other sources or otherwise reprint material published elsewhere, including your own comments on other travel review sites.

Relevant to other travelers

This is not a forum for general polical, ethical or relighious opinions. Nor is it a place for questions or comments directed to property representatives, Tablet Inc. staff, or other Tablet Talk members - we encourage you to use private channels for such communications. It should go without saying that we don't want to see personal insults or language that a reasonable observer might deem offensive. And please keep your submissions current - no need to mention a trip that happened more than two years ago.

A personal opinion or recommendation

Hotel reviews are restricted to verified guests who booked their stays through TabletHotels.com. Likewise, travel recommendations must be based on first-hand experience. No recommendations or reviews writen by owners or managers posing as guests, or by current or past employees, or second-hand hearsay from others. If your friend/cousin/neighbor has something to contribute then you should invite them to join the community so that they may share their opinions themselves.

We do not allow recommendations to be written based on incentives from property owners/management. Offering discounts or upgrades or other special treatment in exchange for reviews is very much against the rules, and any property found to be engaging in this sort of thing will be dealt with most unforgivingly.

Non-commercial

Comment spam is a serious problem, and we will reject even the most borderline cases. No commercial web address, e-mail addresses or contact information. No promotional material of any kind. we reserve the right to reject any URL for any reason.

Written with standard e-mail etiquette

This is a forum with a board readership;don't assume that hotel owners in Milan and tavel agents in Guangzhou are familiar with the latest slang and shorthard, or that typographic symbols will be rendered properly across all platforms. Please don't shout in ALL CAPS - in general, keep it readable. And for various boring technical reasons, HTML tags and most forms of text and paragraph formatting, even simple lists, will not survive the posting process.

In addition

It's our party

Tablet Inc. reserves the right to remove any hotel review or travel recommendation at its sole discretion, for violation of the above guidelines or for any other reasons.

These reviews are posted exclusively by verified guests whose stays were booked through TabletHotels.com. We do encourage our clients to express their opinions, and what makes a hotel experience great is often something subjective, a matter of personal taste. At the same time, many of the hotels we list are extreme in one dimension or another, and are bound to disappoint somebody somewhere. These reviews are an excellent way to identify a hotel's particular quirks, and thereby avoid a poor hotel-guest match. But remember: if a hotel's overall customer rating falls lower than 15 out of 20, the hotel will be removed from our listings.

The opinions expressed in these reviews are solely those of our clients; the opinions expressed in any hotel management responses are solely those of the hotels themselves. We do not endorse any of the opinions expressed within the reviews, and we are not affiliated with any of the hotels in question. We reserve the right to remove any of the review or management response at our discretion.
