The 189-room Ayre Hotel Gran Via, located in a non-tourist area, is on par with other large chain hotels that cater to business travelers with an on-site business center, restaurant and bar, and three executive meeting rooms. Hallways and rooms have ample natural light and are elegantly designed with warm wood tones and gray hues. The hotel is located on a busy, unattractive street and guests in rooms situated on that side of the building often complain of traffic noise. Amenities and services are typical of an upper-middle-range chain hotel, but the facility does not offer a gym like the nearby Hotel Azul, which has rooms for competitive prices.

Location is a huge draw of this property, as Nouvel Hotel is a historic building in the Art Nouveau style situated four minutes by foot from Plaça de Catalunya, considered by many to be the center of Barcelona. The property’s common areas feature much of the grandeur of the original interior architecture. Still, the hotel offers very little by way of amenities, and rooms are dated, though clean and of reasonable size. Many visitors have noted that the mattresses are on the firm side and that the rooms are well insulated from street noise, though not so much from noise produced by fellow guests.
