Since it first opened its doors in 1919 the hotel Palace Barcelona has become a symbol of prestige not only for the Condal City but for all of Spain. Now, after an extensive restoration project, the original evocative atmosphere of Spain in the 20’s has been re-captured. Renovation works included refurbishment of  all the rooms and bathrooms and re-decoration of the corridors and other public areas.

The hall of the Palace Hotel has always been a red carpet catwalk where superstars have paraded whilst visiting Spain. Cary Grant, Sophia Loren, Ella Fitzgerald, Leonard Bernstein to mention but a few. An almost endless list of other famous people, including members of prominent European royal families and society people from all over Spain have have graced the rooms of this most luxurious of hotels in Barcelona that has just re-opened its doors with the style of a by-gone era. Some of the greatest artists in Spain even lived in the hotel for some time like the painter Salvador Dali and the Catalan musician Xavier Cugat.

Now, ninety years after its inauguration, this classic landmark building in Barcelona, sister of the Hotel Palace in Madrid, London and Paris, is back with the same classic spirit that has always characterized it. Located in the heart of the city of Barcelona, it is close to some of the most famous streets in Spain including the Paseo de Gracia and La Rambla. Is is but a short walking distance from the Plaza de Catalunya and the Gothic Quarter and only 10 minutes away from the Olympic area in Montjuic, the old Port and the Olympic harbour.

Luxury pervades every room of this most majestic of hotels in Spain. Guests can stroll through its halls or relax in their suites, all equipped with the latest technology. Or, they can stop to admire its historic artifacts including furniture installed to capture the original glamour of Spain at the turn of the century. They can also enjoy the new Hall Bar, with the famous Scotch Bar, and this year, the well known Caelis restaurant, offering gourmet cuisine from Spain and Europe which can cater for even the most demanding of palates.
