Located in the heart of the city, Passeig de Gracia, the property stands on a neoclassical building that has become one of the emblems of the city. The five-star luxury hotel is an iconic representation of the city's rich history, modernist lifestyle, fine architecture, and culture. It features stunning views of some of the city's most beautiful buildings designed by eminent architects such as Gaudí, Puig i Cadafalch and Domènech i Montaner. Renowned for its lively charm, luxurious hospitality, floral decorations, stained glass windows and wrought-iron balconies, the hotel is a singular work of art in and of itself. Majestic Hotel welcomes visitors with an endless range of cultural and leisure activities, which will delight those looking to explore this distinctive city.
Amenities
The hotel is a collection of 272 spacious rooms, suites and penthouses renovated and enlarged in 2013. The unique architectural distribution of the building makes each room a one-of-a-kind space. The rooms have been decorated with classical furniture combined with contemporary elements in brown, white and beige tones. All the rooms have individually controlled air conditioning and heating, a Nespresso coffee machine, marble bath, rain shower, bathrobes and slippers, amenities from the prestigious French brand Atelier Cologne, turn-down service, bedroom and bathroom telephones, free Wi-Fi, 24-hour room service, as well as access to the gym and outdoor swimming pool with spectacular views of the city.
Art & Culture
This Majestic Experience departs from the normal tourist circuit and introduces the "Remarkable Residences" project, which allows guests to discover some of the city's least recognized, yet most impressive modernist houses. These residences were inhabited by collectors who were also lovers of interior design and art, offering a cultural opportunity available to only a few guests. Included are places such as the Rocamora Private Cultural Foundation, an Elizabethan mansion that houses a private collection of unique works of art from Spain, Europe, and part of the Americas, or the Casa Amatller, a landmark designed by Josep Puig i Cadafalch, an artistic contemporary of Antoni Gaudí, which has preserved the original 1900 furniture. The culmination of the experience includes a private dinner, surrounded by art and history, held in the dining room of one of the houses. Barcelona is a city with a long and impressive architectural history, revealed all along its avenues and in the buildings belonging to the Catalan gentry.
Wellness
The iconic hotel offers its guests both luxury and wellness through an elevated spa experience in collaboration with Natura Bissé and Hora Sexta; brands recognized for their scientific innovation, as well as their passion for natural ingredients within the luxury cosmetics sector.
