"Outstanding location and views. Rooftop bar is great but the amount of instagram photo takers/posing was crazy. Hotel was gorgeous, staff was exceptional. Price was very high but we were here during La Merce festival so it makes sense. We could hear the concerts from our outdoor patio! Great stay!"
