Highlights
Located just steps from Passeig de Gràcia, El Palace Barcelona embodies timeless luxury and refined hospitality. A landmark grand address since 1919, the former Ritz serves as an exclusive gateway to Barcelona’s cultural scene and social life. Originally inaugurated in 1919 as the former Ritz of Barcelona, the hotel seamlessly blends historic grandeur with contemporary elegance. Its 114 rooms and suites, inspired by a refined neoclassical style, are serene urban retreats where rich fabrics, classical details, and soft lighting create an atmosphere of understated opulence. Guests are invited to experience a rich culinary and social offering. The Grand Hall, at the heart of the hotel’s daily rhythm, combines a lobby lounge and restaurant serving international cuisine and afternoon tea, while Amar Barcelona, led by chef Rafa Zafra, whose background includes El Bulli and close collaboration with Ferran Adrià, presents high-end Mediterranean cuisine shaped by seasonality, a strong connection to the sea, and exceptional product quality. The 1,500 m² Rooftop Garden unfolds as a series of distinct terrace and dining spaces, offering panoramic views across Barcelona, including the Sagrada Família, alongside a pool, sun loungers, and a more relaxed, open-air expression of the hotel’s social life. Service is shaped by experience and supported by one of Barcelona’s most distinguished concierge teams, with the highest number of Les Clefs d’Or members in the city. Wellness and events are thoughtfully integrated, with a Mayan-inspired spa, fitness center, and elegant spaces for meetings, private events, and celebrations. With its storied legacy and immersive sense of place, El Palace Barcelona offers a refined base from which to experience the city in comfort and style.
