El Palace Barcelona opened in 1919 as the citys first five-star hotel, originally the Ritz Barcelona. Today, as a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, it remains a landmark address combining timeless glamour, contemporary experiences, and impeccable service. Located in the heart of the city, just steps from Plaza Catalunya, Passeig de Gracia and Las Ramblas, it places guests at the centre of Barcelona's cultural and architectural life. The 114 rooms and suites feature a neoclassical design with a calm, residential atmosphere. The hotel also offers six Art Suites inspired by iconic figures linked to its heritage, alongside two signature suites dedicated to Joséphine Baker and Ronnie Wood, all with spacious layouts and refined details. Dining is an essential part of the experience, from breakfast at El Jardín to the Grand Hall, the social heart of the hotel, and Amar Barcelona, a contemporary Mediterranean restaurant by chef Rafa Zafra. The 1,500 m² Rooftop Garden offers terraces, panoramic views and a Roman-inspired pool, complemented by the Bluesman Cocktail Bar and Cigar Lounge. The Luxury Mayan Spa with Temazcal and a fitness space complete the wellbeing offering. A distinguished concierge team, with the highest number of Les Clefs d'Or in Barcelona, ensures exceptional service. The hotel also features elegant venues for private celebrations and corporate events. El Palace Barcelona is a destination where heritage, gastronomy and service come together, making every stay part of the city's living story.
