The Luxury Hotel of Barcelona
El Palace Hotel has been totally refurbished and opened again in late 2009.
The works have preserved the classic spirit that has always characterized this property, distinguished as a symbol of Barcelona’s hotel tradition. Set in the heart of the city center, close to Las Ramblas and in the most prestigious shopping area, it is surrounded by boulevards, boutiques and main attractions.
Fist opened in 1919 with a neo-classical façade and grand public areas , considered Barcelona's most distinguished iconic hotel for over 90 years , the hotel reopened with 125 new rooms , 42 of them being Suites and Junior Suites.
A new room design, a soft interior re-decoration of public areas and lounges and the realignment and optimization of the architectural infrastructure enhance the beauty and majesty of our Hotel like in the 20’s.

Reviews
" A Palace"
We spent four nights at this lovely hotel. It is 2 blocks away from the premier shopping street in Barcelona, another short block to the major department store and one more block to Las Ramblas if that is your style. Probably not if you enjoy the refined luxury of this hotel. No complaints with staff, concierge and food service - all were excellent. Our room was wonderful and the shower was incredible - room for at least 4 people at one time! Enjoy this hotel.
“DE LOS MEJORES HOTELES DEL MUNDO”
Mi estancia en el Hotel Palace antiguo Ritz, fue verdaderamente maravillosa. El hotel es un sueño, parece que te encuentras dentro de un palacio y todos los muebles y los detalles, te remontan a 1898. Desde que entras al hotel huele delicioso a rosas, y las habitaciones son de primera, con todos los detalles para que tengas una estancia de primera en Barcelona. Está localizado a unas cuadras de el Paseo de Gracia, así que tiene clase, ubicación, servicio y excelente cocina.
"Perfect Location"
This hotel was amazing. We stayed in a standard room on a high floor but it was larger than a lot of suites in other hotels. Fantastic touches like television on wall..in a mirror, hidden bar/refrigerator and luxurious decorations. The location was perfect, close to attractions, shopping, restaurants. The staff was so helpful. The weather didn"t cooperate on one particular night so we ate dinner at The Caelis at the hotel. We are normally not fans of hotel restaurants for dinners but this proved us wrong. It was a. 5 star restaurant for the food and service. Very leisurely romantic dinner. I would stay at this hotel again
"Gorgeouse hotel"
We stayed at here for 3 nights in April 2013, just love it! Strongly suggest people to stay here for who will go Barcelona, not only its perfect location ( you could walk to lots major shopping/sightseeing places ) but also friendly&helpful hotel staff and gorgeoue classic interior. All staff are trying hard to make your stay as comfort as possible. Enjoyed having buffet breakfast at The Garden and having drink at Bar Hall in the elegant atmosphere with not really expensive price. Room service is served quick and well. Also room is always kept clean, and the bed is firm and comfortable for sleep.
It"s a truly lovely 5 stars hotel!!! I would love to stay here again next time to Barcelona.
"Excellent room, perfect location in Barcelona"
In our recent trip to Spain my wife and I stayed in several different "5 star" hotels. El Palace was by far our favorite. We arrived at the hotel early and while we had to wait a little over an hour for the room to be ready, it was worth the wait. We booked a standard room but received a premium upgrade without ever asking for it. We ended up on the third floor with a view. The room was enormous in comparison to the other hotels we stayed in. The location is great. We were steps from Passieg de Gracia and the metro there. We walked down to the Gothic Quarter everyday. La Rambla and the Boqueria de St.Josep is within a short walk as well. Overall, we really enjoyed this hotel and would highly recommend it.
