The Hotel Palace is a five-star hotel that reflects the tradition of the grand European hotels of the early 20th century. Its classically inspired architecture and high-ceilinged interiors have a calm, almost cinematic feel. On the rooftop, a garden with a swimming pool and open views over the central skyline offers a different angle on the Eixample. The sense of luxury here is understated: it comes through in the light filtering between the columns, the unexpected quiet above the traffic and the way the atmosphere slows the pace of the city.
This is good to know
Opened in 1919, it was once known as the Ritz of Barcelona and has hosted figures from the worlds of art, literature and European royalty.
The traditional afternoon tea is still served in a setting that feels a world away from the pace of the city.
