Gran Hotel Barcino, with its classic lines, subtle elegance and soundproofing, offers a welcome escape from the frenetic pace of the street just outside its revolving glass doors.

Blue is the predominant color of the hotel’s interior. Shrinks equate blue with tranquility and order, the seas and royalty. Painting a room blue creates a soothing, tension-free space said to produce calming chemicals in the body (which we could all use a good dose of after a summertime walk through Barcelona). Studies have even shown that weightlifters are able to lift heavier weights in blue gyms. What they haven’t shown is whether psychobabble is relevant in choosing a hotel for the night.

And, in fact, the Gran Hotel Barcino’s guest quarters are furnished with dark green linens and draperies, the color of wealth, masculinity and, coincidentally, fertility. So the elegant Gran Hotel Barcino is a perfect choice for any guests who are overworked, living beyond their means or trying to have a baby.
