Hotel Palace

Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes 668

In its heyday, the Ritz, as this was called until recently, was peopled by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Ava Gardner and Salvador Dalí, who famously had a horse brought up to his room. It’s looking a little the worse for wear these days, but it remains the grande dame of Barcelona’s hotels; a bastion of old-school luxury, it sparkles with gilded edges and teardrop chandeliers. Other notable features include open fireplaces, as well as mosaic ‘Roman baths’ and four-poster beds. The brand new junior suites are sleek and modern, for those who find this kind of grandeur oppressive. Chef Romain Fornell, the youngest person ever to be awarded a Michelin star, heads up the kitchen.
