Located on tree-lined Gran Vía, this ornate former 19th century palace is steps from Passeig de Gràcia, four blocks from Las Ramblas, and six blocks from the Gothic Quarter. The 54 individually styled guestrooms have alcoved stucco walls and combine period antiques and rose-marble vanities with modern amenities like satellite TV and Internet access. All have bathrooms with handheld showers and hair dryers.
The hallway features a grandiose staircase, Andalusian arches, stained glass ceiling and chandeliers. The inviting terrace, with its terracotta tiling and dolphin fountain, provides a retreat from the bustle of the city.

Passeig de Gracia, with its fabulous Gaudi buildings, and modernist street lamps is 250 meters from the hotel and the city's central square, Plaza Catalunya, with its large stores and cafes, is 300 meters away.
