This luxury hotel situated in the city center, transforms an elegant building from 1926 into a reference of good taste thanks to its extraordinary spaces and services. Located next to Barcelona’s Cathedral, the Hotel has spectacular views over the Gothic district and the ancient city walls and is the perfect base for exploring the city. Las Ramblas, Plaza Cataluña, museums and sea front are just minutes away. The Hotel has 147 spacious rooms and suites where you will find a welcoming, silent and elegant space, the ultimate in comfort and style. The roof-top infinity swimming pool and the Skybar are probably the most spectacular in Barcelona.

The Grand Hotel Central treated us very well. From the bell captain helping us cross the busy street with our luggage to helping us when we left. The room was fantastic and very clean. It was well appointed and even had a minibar in the room. We used room service for breakfast and they were quick. We also made use of the roof top restaurant/bar as well as the dining in the main level. The hotel is very close to the beaches and to many of Barcelona's features. We made the walk to La Sagrada Familia as it was a beautiful day. We would definitely stay there again.

This is a gem of a hotel at a prime location that is easily accessible to points of interest by foot or public transportation. We enjoyed our stay immensely! This boutique hotel is well appointed. We loved the roof top deck, restaurant and pool. Our only disappointment was the lack of pool seating outside of the required 2 hour limited sun bed reservation and the limited pool hours, closing by 7 pm. The limited pool seating leave guests with no where to relax beyond their room and the hotel lobby. The staff is outstanding and go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. We rented e-bikes at the hotel and the process was easy we explored many neighborhoods by bike. I highly recommend this hotel!

Extremely friendly staff at the hotel and a great place for staying. Close to all attractions you need in Barcelona. Clean rooms and good technology upgrades. There is a nice rooftop pool with great views over the old town. A great restaurant to dine on the street level. Thank you for your great service , highly recommended.
