Its name might sound like that of a standard international hotel, but Grand Hotel Central is actually one of Barcelona’s most historic hotels – and one of the most characterful. Located right on Via Laietana – recently revamped and more pedestrian-friendly than ever – this grand 1920s building was once the tallest in the city, and still hides one of its best-kept secrets at the top: Casa Cambó. A Noucentista-style building, the hotel was renovated in 2024, retaining its elegance and classical feel but adding a practical, urban style full of personality. One of the city’s best – and least well-known – luxury hotels. Why stay at Grand Hotel Central? The building is steeped in history and heritage – in fact, it’s officially listed as a local cultural landmark. It’s part of Casa Cambó, a Noucentista residence that was once home to Francesc Cambó, founder of the Regionalist League and a major figure in early 20th-century Catalan and Spanish politics. Step into the lobby and you’ll feel like you’re in Chicago – Cambó commissioned the building from Adolf Florensa after visiting the Illinois capital, inspired by the emerging architecture after the Great Fire of 1871: rationalist, with rooftop gardens. The hotel offers all the features of a modern luxury stay with the rationalist flair of the Chicago School. Some luxury hotels feel tacky – this one is a work of art. What are the rooms like at Grand Hotel Central? The hotel has 147 rooms spread over eight floors in seven categories,...

This sleek boutique hotel has a cool European vibe, a splendid rooftop terrace and a great location at the heart of the city.  Although this is a larger-scale boutique hotel (with 91 rooms), the cool, indie vibes are strong there.

At lunchtime there’s a good value set menu, while in the evening you can choose between á la carte and a tasting menu.

Location: Cunningly located on a small street that gives onto Plaça Catalunya, at the Pulitzer you can enjoy the buzz of being in the city centre but slip away from the serious crowds to get to the hotel.
