El Palace Hotel Barcelona is the oldest luxury hotel in the city. Our timelines have been entwined since the beginning and we continue to make history together, witness to more than 100 years of local and international history. There are so many different facets of arts and ways of expressing the human experience throughout its existence. The hotel has also long enjoyed a deep connection with so many types of art and artists that in 2017, we decided to dedicate our newly renovated Art Suites to six different artistic disciplines with direct links to the hotel.
Since opening its doors in 1919 as the former Ritz of Barcelona, El Palace Barcelona has played host to monarchs, aristocrats, artists, musicians, and more. History has been made within the walls of this hotel in the heart of Barcelona. Today, our staff works hard to ensure that every guest that walks through our doors has everything they need to have the best possible experience while staying at our hotel. Enjoy the true sense of luxury.
Enjoy a warm welcome from our hotel manager and buffet breakfast daily with our exclusive offer.

El Palace Barcelona offers 120 rooms and suites in its historic building in the centre of Barcelona. The carefully selected furnishings ensure total comfort and relaxation in the hotel that has been the home away from home for so many people over the years.
With rooms that can accommodate from one to seven people, we are proud to offer special amenities for children and pets.
Ronnie Wood, Salvador Dalí, Josephine Baker, Joan Miró, César Ritz, and Carlos Ruiz Zafón have changed the world forever through their art. Inspired by their magic, we have designed our Art Suites.
There has always been a strong link between the hotel and the world of gastronomy. Many grand banquets, weddings and celebrations have been held here, beginning when we first opened our doors and continuing to date.
El Palace Barcelona is known for the high quality of its local, seasonal dishes. Our varied menus highlight regional stars as well as international flavours, with classic and modern dishes. British afternoon tea, gourmet coffee, and delightful settings make the most of the quality of the food we offer.
El Palace Barcelona has become a place where the old meets the new; where history and the future join hands.
