More Dining at SOLC Restaurant
In April 2018, Majestic Hotel & Spa debuted a new dining experience. SOLC is an ode to local produce and authentic Catalonian cuisine that brings raw materials from the hotel's own vegetable garden in Maresme and fish and meat from local producers to its kitchens. The farm-to-table restaurant offers menus that are a tribute to Catalonia, with immediacy, freshness, origin and respect at the core of the restaurant concept. The hotel has its own estate in Maresme, located just a few miles from the hotel, where vegetables are grown and picked daily for guests. The dishes are completed with fish from Barcelona's fish market and delicious meats from local producers, creating a menu that is constantly-changing.
How about drinks?
One of the most unique wines in the Majestic Hotel & Spa cellar AA CAU D’EN GENÍS - Cuvée Majestic, made at the family's Alta Alella Winery in the heart of Maresme. The hotel's sommelier Pablo Fernandez played a role in creating the wine. The bottle offers honest aromas and its own identity made from the Xarel·lo grape variety, grown organically. Subtle aromas of white flowers and green fruits with incipient flavor, offer a sharp end and a pleasant salty aftertaste, thanks to the winery's proximity to the Mediterranean Sea.
Hotel of the Arts
In a city as vibrant as Barcelona, Majestic Hotel & Spa has always had close ties to the world of art. Artists such as Pablo Picasso and Joan Miró have stayed here before. Today, the hotel’s art collection includes more than 1,000 pieces including paintings, sculptures and graphic works, all on display throughout the hotel. Artists you may spot on display include Tápies, Chillida, Saura Guinovart, Ráfols Casamada and Gerardo Rueda, as well as many prominent artists from the 80s like Modest Urgell and Alfonso Alzadora, and contemporary artists including Miquel Barceló, the most famous Spanish artist of today.
