Hotel El Palace Barcelona was totally refurbished and reopened late 2009. The works preserved the classic spirit that has always characterised this property, distinguished as a symbol of Barcelona’s hotel tradition. Set in the heart of the city centre, close to Las Ramblas and in the most prestigious shopping area, it is surrounded by boulevards, theatres and main banks. It has an excellent transport connections and it is just 20 min from el Prat Airport.After the restoration, the Hotel has 120 rooms, 42 of which are suites and junior suites, all equipped with last-generation technology. A new room design, a soft interior re-decoration of public areas and lounges and the realignment and optimisation of the architectural infrastructure enhances the beauty and majesty of our Hotel like in the 20’s.

Wonderful old world hotel. The staff is truly exceptional, attentive to every detail of the guest experience in a very natural and unforced manner. The hotel combines the grandeur of a great old Ritz Carlton hotel with all of the modern comforts. In addition the quiet luxury of our room, with geraniums in bloom on our windowsill, the hotel also offers numerous other amenities. The Amar Restaurant, the Bluesman Lounge, the rooftop pool area, and the breakfast conservatory all offered exceptional guest experiences as well. The location of the hotel, just north of the Gothic Barri, is also ideal. The concierge service readily arranged tickets for us to the various wonderful architectural structures and museums.

During my recent stay, I was impressed by the exceptional service provided by the staff, especially Sergi, who warmly welcomed us and remembered our names throughout our stay. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the rooms were well soundproofed, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. The concierge desk staff were also attentive and helpful. The only downside was the strong wind on the terrace, but it didn't overshadow the overall excellent experience. Highly recommended for a luxurious stay with top-notch service.

Beautiful hotel with great amenities! Feels classic and grand in every way. The rooftop pool and lounge area is gorgeous on its own, but I love that they incorporated a Swiss chalet theme for the winter. Very cozy and relaxing after a long day of sightseeing. Speaking of, hotel location is excellent. Close to multiple metro stops but we mostly walked everywhere. The best part of all, however, was the staff. Housekeeping is outstanding - our room was immaculate every day and they were incredibly responsive when we called with requests. Everyone we encountered was warm, helpful, and treated our family, especially the kids, with true kindness and hospitality! Especially the bartenders, who gave our kids some impromptu mocktail making lessons :) Thank you for making our visit so memorable!

For which of the following faciSorry for sharing this comments. It was very nice stay except one thing which is baggage service at bell desk. After check-out, I asked to bell desk team to keep my luggage included my Saint Laurent Hand Bag. I was very embarrassed when I found a baggage sticker on my bag. After I took a sticker off, I checked condition of bag and there are some scratch on the bottom of bags. I was very-very upset and complained to a man at concierge desk. He also embarrassed and gave me a business card of room manager with apology. I was surprised that the way you handling customer's belongings at bell desk. It can be possible to happen this situation at 5 stars hotel from my experience. The bag is not top-lined brand however it has a value for me. I would like to suggest the manager should retrain staffs to prevent this happening again. The day of the incident : Feb 23, 2024lities or activities would you like to provide feedback?

Dear Getaway52090677178, Thank you for sharing the feedback of your stay with us. Please accept our apologies if you feel that the handling of the bag was incorrect, and for any possible damages it may have caused to it.. We place stickers in all the bags of all our guests to ensure that all luggage is correctly identified, we do this daily and till now we never had the experience that the sticker could create damage to the luggage. We will of course address this with the team once again, to avoid that any issues can happen to our guest's belongings, which I assure you is of extreme importance to us. Best Regards, Pablo Aldemira Director of Rooms
