El Palace

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.

L'Hotel El Palace Barcelona è una struttura di lusso, monumentale molto ben curata che rende giustizia al prestigioso passato (Hotel Ritz). All'interno, dopo la hall, ti accoglie un salone per il thè pomeridiano di straordinaria bellezza così come la grande sala per la prima colazione dove ti accoglie un personale gentilissino e altamente professionale, evidentemente abituato ad una clientela pretenziosa, che apprezza le coccole e i dettagli. Buffet salato e dolce - oltre la carta - molto ricco in grado di accontentare visitatori provenienti da tutte le latitudini e di tutte le età. La camera molto confortevole con grande cabina armadio: room service rapido e preparazioni ottime; house keeping invisibile ma sempre presente. Bottiglia di ottime bollicine rosè all'arrivo: graditissimo. Il roof top, con una piccola piscina all'aperto, è un vero gioiello: vista mozzafiato ed ottimo per il brunch o l'aperitivo: tutto buonissimo e tanto personale dedicato. Notevole anche il cocktail bar. La gentilezza, la professionalità e la disponibilità del personale sono a livelli inusuali: reception, concierge, camerieri, ..., sono in gran numero, sempre presenti e disponibili. Si è circondati da bellezza, lusso e raffinatezza. Come coccola, anche un eccellente uovo di Pasqua (fondente al 70%) trovato in camera. Nemmeno una pecca in cinque giorno. Lo standard di 5 stelle GL, come pure l'appartenenza al network The Leading Hotels of the world è pienamente soddisfatto. Posizione centralissima. Un'esperienza nell'esperienza. All'altezza degli Holte delle catene Mandarin, Four Seasons e Orient Express dove ho soggiornato in giro per il mondo. Grazie.
