Historic old building and very attentive staff. Have no regrets about selecting this hotel. I would have given it 5 stars except that WiFi is expensive and I made the mistake of ordering 2 cups of expresso, a pot of coffee and a small basket of pastries from room service for a mere 60 euros. More

Stayed two nits, we got a nice Barcelona city street view, room is okay, small though. With this price, I think they should offer a better services. Wifi didn't work well in the room. We always have to come to the lobby for wifi services. More

Loved El Palace Hotel. It is a beautiful, old, historic hotel in a central location in Barcelona. It was formerly a Four Seasons property and retains a strong sense of old world elegance. It is in easy walking distance to all the fascinations of Los Rambles and many wonderful nearby restaurants. The hotel is elegant and beautifully decorated with wonderful... More

I stayed at El Palace in Barcelona in June 2011. Overall, the hotel was beautiful in a very opulent, old-world way. We got upgraded to a junior suite, as it was the off season for the hotel, and were really pleased with the comfort of the bed and the spacious bathroom (there were actually two full rooms, one with the...

My mother and I spent 4 nights at the hotel in early May and it was fantastic! This was one of my favorite hotels in all of Europe and definitely my favorite in Spain. Although everything was great, the people at the concierge were the absolute best. I don't think I have ever encountered such helpful, lovely, polite and knowledgeable... More

A very professionally run hotel. Deserves its five stars. Concierge terrific. Small complaint: At beautiful breakfast buffet, they should offer something other than scrambled eggs. Many five-star hotels have a cook making eggs and omelets to order. Tip: Several taxi drivers were confused when we asked for El Palace. So when you take a cab, remind them that El Palace... More

This was our first visit to Barcelona and our stay at El Palace was the perfect place to stay. Kudos to the concierge services!! I can't say enough about how wonderful they were. Because we had never visited Barcelona, we relied heavily on their assistance and recommendations. Each time we stopped by the desk, they were so accommodating, pulling out... More

We stayed 4 nights after our cruise. We are so glad we stayed here. Our stay was in a beautifully decorated room facing the Gran Via. The furnishings were classic, bed comfortable, A/C worked quietly, and all was clean. The bath was best we have seen in Europe: Roman tub, big shower with rain or spray head, 2 sinks and... More

This was my 4th trip to Barcelona and this hotel made the difference from really like to love. We arrived at 8AM and our (upgraded) junior suite was ready. Really important after a 9 hour trip. The room was and remained through our 5 day stay immaculate. The room was large for a European city and the bathroom was enormous... More
