Rising above the art galleries, designer shops and famed cultural attractions of the Passeig de Gracia, this 5 star Hotel has graced Barcelona's modern district for 85 years, and now stands as one of the city's most prestigious addresses. Behind the hotel's striking neoclassical facade waits an interior brimming with contemporary art and the high-tech conveniences demanded by today's luxury traveler. A marble lobby with pillars, tapestries and chandelier leads to a lobby bar with wood panels, red carpets and sofas. The a la carte Drolma restaurant offers both, local and International cuisine. The expansive views increase from ground floor to the new and most exclusive 3,200-square-foot penthouse with its 1,100-square-foot terrace which offers the best panorama of the landmarks of Barcelona. A roof-top swimming pool, bar and solarium afford the ultimate panoramic views where guests can relax with a sauna, steam bath or massage after a visit to the fitness center. The tastefully decorated 303 rooms are all equipped with air conditioning, minibar, safe, direct-dial telephone and television.
