Its magnificent location near Paseo de Gracia is ideal for reaching Plaza Catalua, Las Ramblas and Diagonal avenue in just a few minutes, thus making it the perfect home base for doing business while enjoying the citys culture and free time activities.The Hotel Claris is the physical expression of a special conception of luxury hotels in which the finest materials and state-of-the-art technology have been placed at the service of daily needs. Combining tradition and modernity, antiques and avant-garde design, the Claris thus achieves a unique balance.

All the rooms have a mini-bar, TV with Canal Plus, satellite channels and pay-per-view TV, individually-controlled air conditioning units, a direct-line telephone, a safety deposit box, Internet, modem and fax hook-up, 24-hour room service, a laundry service, and parking.
