Lamaro is a five-star hotel at Avinguda de la Catedral 7, directly opposite the west front of Barcelona Cathedral, in a grand neoclassical building. Its rooftop, L'Àtic, cooks Japanese-Mediterranean food from a Josper grill with the Cathedral as the backdrop; it is reserved for guests from 11:00 to noon and open to outside visitors until 23:00. Only two room categories, the Premium Suite and the Grand Master Suite, have guaranteed views of the Cathedral, and the Grand Master Suite has four balconies. The hotel runs a Design & Craft tour of the quarter's workshops for guests who book direct.

Our read on the trade-offs — what we would book it for, and what we would want to know first.
If the Cathedral view is the reason you are booking, the choice is narrow and explicit: only the Premium Suite, at 25 m² with a private balcony over the Cathedral, and the Grand Master Suite, at 72 m² with four balconies two of which overlook the Cathedral, carry a guaranteed Cathedral view, so one of those two is the room to take and nothing below them promises the same outlook. The Elegance is the entry room at 25 m²; the Executive is larger at 30 to 35 m², and the Executive Plus, at 35 to 40 m², is the one that sleeps two adults and a child. The Skyline Suite, on the sixth floor, trades the Cathedral for a private terrace and solarium with city views, with interiors of 20 to 33 m² and terraces of 26 to 70 m².
Situated at Avinguda de la Catedral, 7 – facing Barcelona Cathedral, Barri Gòtic, 08002 Barcelona, placing you in the historic heart of the Barri Gòtic.
Travellers who want a genuine five-star with a Michelin-Key restaurant and a Roman-walls setting, and who are willing to pay for it
Couples who want the harbour and the sea in view from a small five-star, rather than a pool
Couples who want a small historic building on a quiet square and do not need a pool or a gym
Lamaro Hotel is at Avinguda de la Catedral, 7, directly opposite the west front of Barcelona Cathedral in the Barri Gotic, 08002 Barcelona. Its rooftop restaurant L'Atic looks onto the Cathedral — but only the Premium Suite and Grand Master Suite guarantee a Cathedral view from the room.
Only two categories: the Premium Suite (25 sqm, private balcony over the Cathedral) and the Grand Master Suite (72 sqm, four balconies, two over the Cathedral). Entry Elegance rooms at 25 sqm do not face the Cathedral — book one of the two suites if the outlook is the point.
