Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

An incredible place, full of noble rooms and quality spaces that show the history of Barcelona's commerce. With a magnificent team of professionals for the management of events. Very good experience in the organization and participation in a relevant European event on Local Trade. Congratulations!

Hard to pick a better venue than this for a large corporate gathering. Impressive inside and out, the intricate ceiling is worth a long look. The setup makes this a good place for many gatherings.
TIP: It can be tricky finding a taxi here in the evening. Suggest having Uber on your phone.

This is one of the most important buildings in Barcelona that you've never heard of.
Aside from housing the Royal Catalan Academy of Fine Arts of Saint George (on the 2nd Floor - with a separate review), you will find architecture here that is truly stunning - both gothic and neoclassical in the same building. This has been one of the most important buildings in Barcelona since the 14th Century.
The original structure was finished in 1392, and the "Salón de Contraciones" provides a breathtaking view of medieval gothic architecture that has been protected from the elements and so reveals incredible details. The neoclassical façade and addition were commissioned in 1771, and provides a duality that is nothing short of stunning.
The building is truly still alive. Within the "Salón de Cónsuls" on the 2nd Floor, the Barcelona Commodities Exchange (3rd largest in the world, after Chicago and Paris) conducts business every Tuesday. Deals are closed with a handshake. The Salón Lucrecia, the Salón Dorado and the Escalera de Honor all add to the majesty of this structure.
We contracted a local tour guide with a thorough knowledge of the history and splendor of the building - it really added to the experience! Our tour guide explained that It has only been open to the public for two years, and that pre-teens must be carefully supervised.

La Lotja has been once the stock exchange palace; actually is a common Post Office, so you can enter it and take a look to its wonderful, renaissance ceiling. It's not so normal do tourism in post office, is it?

We were very fortunate to attend a corporate event here. The space is beautiful. We were given a guided tour. The food was excellent and that is not easy for serving 450 people at the same time.

La Llotha is not the post office as some have posted and included pictures, it is a commodities exchange since medieval times. As a seafaring city, commerce needed such a market to exchange goods and this building has done that for hundreds of years. The post office building is incredible in its own right but it is across the street.
