5-star boutique hotel in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter - the only Relais & Châteaux in the city
Location & Historic Building
The hotel occupies a 12th-century building overlooking Sant Felip Neri square, a secluded plaza in the heart of the Gothic Quarter. It preserves the original 17th-century stone wall that separates the lounge bar area of the restaurant. Guests are steps from the Barcelona Cathedral, Plaça Reial, and the Picasso Museum, with Las Ramblas a short walk away.
Dining
The on-site restaurant is led by chef Alain Guiard and serves locally sourced dishes, with a menu that changes based on seasonal ingredients. Breakfast includes fresh juices, pastries, and hot dishes delivered to the room or served in the dining area. The bar offers a selection of wines and champagne, and the terrace provides outdoor seating for drinks and meals.
Rooms & Accommodations
Rooms blend contemporary design with the original period charm of the building, offering views of the square or interior courtyards. The hotel also offers apartments in a restored classic building a few metres away, each with a kitchenette and separate living space. All accommodations include climate control, soundproof windows, and rain showers.
Amenities & Services
The rooftop features a seasonal shallow-end pool and a sun terrace with views over the Gothic Quarter. The library serves as a quiet space for reading or small meetings, and concierge services can arrange bike tours, walking tours, and car hire. The hotel is pet-friendly, offering pet baskets and bowls, and provides wheelchair-accessible rooms with grab rails.
Unique Features
Hotel Neri is the only Relais & Châteaux property in Barcelona, a designation that emphasizes personalized service and high standards. The building has Specialty Monument status due to its preserved façade and historic interior elements. Environmental sustainability is practiced through measures such as filtered glass water bottles and refillable bath product containers.

excellent stay at a gothic quarter gem
medieval city rooftop garden really good staff
this place had a perfect location inside the medieval city. returning after a day exploring seemed like coming back to a calm oasis. the rooftop garden provides loveliness. i found the staff really good.
our room didnt have streaming channels on the basic samsung tv. i had to contact housekeeping the first morning. the machine said it needed emptying, but it worked perfectly after that.

the breakfast offered ample choices, with juice, bread, pastries, included. i found the ham superb quality. i saw several other hot dishes available also.
the location was ideal for exploring the gothic quarter. the staff assisted with directions and recommendations. i found the room service prompt. the food arrived hot and well-presented.
the noise from the nearby plaza was intrusive at times. music and crowds persisted late into the night. also, the bathroom lacked sufficient counter space. there was limited room for toiletries.

underwhelming stay
uninspiring view inner courtyard
the hotels location was decent and very central.
the room felt quite small, and the view from the window was uninspiring, it was facing a rather dull inner courtyard and lacked any natural light, i really expected better.
