Right on the beautiful, historic, and incredibly central Plaça Reial that’s just off La Rambla, you’ll find this five-star hotel that looks big enough to house more than the intimate 18 rooms it's got. That means lovely spacious rooms and common areas for you to relax in. If attention to detail and free extras are what you’re into, you’ve found the right place: breakfast, a welcome drink, an hour’s free access to the spa, free non-alcoholic minibar, free snacks and fruit every day, and pillow and aroma menus are some of the items on the list. If you’re looking to make your stay extra special, treat yourself to the rooftop room, with its own private terrace and pool. Lush.

The clue is in the name of this picturesque palace. As you may have guessed, it’s in a small (by palace standards) former palace that dates to the nineteenth century, it’s very close to the famous Boqueria Market on La Rambla, and it boasts a lovely private courtyard and garden – with trees that are a century old. With a dozen different room types, everyone's invited to feel welcome, whether you’re travelling on your own or in a group of six, whether you need no more than a small double or if you’re after an apartment duplex. Ask about bicycle rental, romance packs or other special offers to suit you.
