El Palace

Highly recommend this hotel for a unique top-drawer experience at this one-of-a-kind property! We had the pleasure of staying at El Palace Barcelona for the first time and it was spectacular experience! The hotel is itself is truly beautiful, exuding Old World charm in every detail. Great location, convenient to most destinations. The entrance lobby and main sitting room area provide the perfect beginning to your stay; the rooms are spacious and well-appointed. The staff is so personable and caring and made sure that our stay was memorable in every way. We attended the Afternoon Tea with a traditional Catalan Opera & Dance performance and it was very special. I will look forward to returning to El Palace on my next visit to Barcelona - wouldn’t stay anywhere else.

Beautiful Hotel with excellent service. Love the breakfast and always enjoy the rooftop bar. The gorgeous lounge will make you feel like a princess! Convenient location to sites, shopping and restaurants. Fast and reliable taxi service also.

Built in 1919 and used to be the Ritz. Showing its age inside. A grand old style hotel like many in Europe The lobby is ornate with a small check in desk The suite on the 1st floor of coorse has no view, and has wear and tear. Tv smallish but 2 seperate rooms for toilet and shower. The hybrid traditional and modern key they use is a royal pain Breakfast is nice, designed as a greenhouse Gym is tiny, but ok for my use There’s a rooftop garden for lunch and drinks, also nice Good service throughout Location is here within walking distance of many UNESCO sites and Plaza Catalunya plus Paseig de Barcelona Stayed here for business, and if personal traveling, not my top choice

Travelled with my wife (in our 40's), 2 teens, and mother in law. This hotel is an A+ and one of the nicest I have ever stayed at. Beautiful clean, historic hotel in a great location. The staff is very very friendly and efficient. Rooms very comfortable including great beds and shower. Breakfast served in a beautiful space and was excellent. I could go on and on, but it was fantastic in every way!

This hotel is where you should stay if you are looking for the experience of a lifetime. The photos online capture about 30% of its actual beauty. We stayed in a mini-suite and got the best rate through Auto Club. (I searched for weeks.). The room and bathroom were fit for royalty and even had a walk in closet. To say it was spacious is an understatement. The bed, sheets, pillows, towels and drapery were top notch luxurious. We had room-service breakfast every day and it was hot and delicious and delivered quickly with linens, fresh flowers, etc. We visited the downstairs bar and it is like a swanky, gorgeous speakeasy but one where you can ALWAYS get a good table and amazing cocktails. The beautiful hostess there was delightful. The highlight for us was the Concierge Desk. They helped us with every decision and reassured us about our plans, walking routes, and made restaurant reservations for us. Everything they recommended was the best. You can walk everywhere from the hotel and the metro system is clean, safe, fast and easy if you want to go further out. Concierge helped us with that, also. One request: please only stay here if you are a grateful person who treats grand hotels and staff with respect and appreciation. El Palace employees deserve to only have guests who are as enthusiastic and kind as they are. Believe me, every smile and thank you will be returned to you 100 times over.
