Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: Built in 1925, this historical, updated hotel is popular with celebrities, businesspeople, and leisure travelers who expect the best and appreciate privacy. After a winding trip up Mount Tibidabo, guests are welcomed at two elegant tables and offered rose-petal water to sip during check-in. The entryway flows into a living room-style lobby bar that overlooks a courtyard with a two-story water sculpture.
Amenity highlights: In addition to a spacious fitness room, this six-story hotel has a day spa with sauna, steam room, and Turkish baths. Massage and body treatments are available (surcharge). The unusual, 37-meter (121-foot) indoor/outdoor, stainless-steel pool has a solarium and poolside bar, which transform into a nightclub on summer evenings. The restaurant offers two elegant dining areas and a terrace with a sweeping city view. Complimentary shuttles transport guests to the city center.
Insider tip: The hotel was used as a military hospital during the Spanish Civil War of 1936-39. During the 1950s, wealthy Catalan families summered here and celebrities such as Ernest Hemingway, James Stewart, and the Prince of Belgium were guests.
