“One of the five best European new hip hotels” The Guardian

An incomparable experience in 147 spacious rooms and suites flooded with natural light, with a spectacular infinity pool offering the best views of Barcelona. An elegant atmosphere, avant-garde design, painstaking details, Ávalon Restaurant & Café, run by Ramon Freixa (with 1 Michelin star at two of his restaurants), an extensive range of massages at “The Wellness Suite”, a complete Fitness centre, 4 fully equipped meeting rooms, “The library” (a library specialising in Barcelona), Business Center, 24 h. car park available… all of this at a hotel which brings back the very essence of the roaring twenties, in a tribute to the “Grand Hotels” which were used by the great travellers, cosmopolitan and avant-garde men and women who were such lovers of the good life.

Set right in the heart of the city, beside Barcelona Cathedral, the hotel has spectacular views of the whole Gothic district and ancient city walls. Its outstanding location encourages guests to take a stroll out. Just a stone’s throw away there are some of the most interesting parts of the city: the Rambles, the Plaça Catalunya, the surprising Born district, the most popular museums, the best shops or the pleasant Passeig Marítim.

“The most stylish property in the center…” The Independent

Nearby, a new attractive neighbourhood has emerged in the last few years called “ Barrio del Born” full of amazing shops, cafés, bars and designer restaurants, all spread throughout narrow streets and luminous squares.
