we are going to barcelona for 9 nights in march. got biz award tickets, iad-bcn-iad. we've gotten old(74&67) so none of that whirlwind stuff any more.

i have just gone through a year of hotel postings, and come up with only 6.(not counting M.O. and le meridian).
claris
majestic
villa emilia
jazz
contentinal palacete
berna

cost is from€2000 to €1230, which is affordable to us. any and all comments and additions appreciated.

have not been able to find any small(10-20 room) boutique hotels that we have found in france and italy. is there anyplace that has listings of such places?
