LOCATED in the former Ritz, El Palace continues to excite its guests with opulence and decadence. Every detail of the interior screams glamour and inevitably transports you back in time. From big chandeliers suspended above your heads to heavy velvet curtains, El Palace is the dream destination for those seeking a fairy-tale holiday.
Each room in El Palace has been designed to conform to the hotel’s elegant and dazzling character but also provide the guests with a perfect space to unwind and relax. The six signature Art Suites are inspired by hotel’s prominent guests, including Salvador Dali or Josephine Baker, and pay a tribute to their artistic legacy with unique detailing, artwork and colours.

Whilst letting the morning sun into the suite, watch the passing cars on Gran Via and observe how the city slowly wakes up. The hotel breakfast is served at El Jardà – spacious indoor and outdoor area, which every morning fills with aromas of freshly baked croissants and churros. There is no option of keeping the plate empty with an inviting buffet full of Iberian treats, fresh fruit and refreshing orange juice.
El Palace is just a walk away from Gothic Quarter, one of Barcelona’s most popular historic districts. Known for the little streets filled with small boutiques, restaurants, and cafes it is a perfect way to begin exploration of the Catalonian capital.

The entertainment in El Palace does not end there. Every other Wednesday the guests are invited to join Art & Drinks, see Live Rumba music on Thursday evenings and begin their weekend with Brunch & Vinyl every Saturday and Sunday.
The basement of the hotel hides Bluesman Cocktail Bar designed to resemble a classic English speakeasy. With live jazz and blues relax over a couple of artistic cocktails to not let the night end.
