Majestic Hotel & Spa Barcelona, the five-star luxury hotel that is as iconic as it is emblematic of the city’s lifestyle, architecture and society, is unveiling Majestic Experiences – five unique experiences that highlight the city’s finest qualities. Located on a privileged location in the heart of the city on Passeig de Gracia, the hotel is offering travelers a curated selection of activities and excursions that will allow them to explore the city’s many treasures and embark on exclusive adventures. Now, guests will depart Majestic Hotel & Spa Barcelona having enjoyed not only world-class accommodations and refined service, but also the most luxurious pleasures of the city of Gaudi.
From sailboats to Lamborghinis, Majestic Experiences are as varied as they are unforgettable.
Exceptionally crafted for sea and wine lovers, a captain awaits at Port Bell ready to welcome them aboard a sailboat and navigate towards the Maresme region along Spain’s Mediterranean coast. The picturesque ride will take them to Alta Alella wineries, located at high altitudes and offering spectacular views of the vineyards, Barcelona’s skyline and the ocean. At Alta Alella, a special section is dedicated only to Majestic Hotel & Spa Barcelona’s private label wine, AA Cau d’en Genís Cuvée Majestic, which is carefully elaborated with the help of the hotel’s sommelier. At the vineyard, an expert sommelier will guide guests through the vineyards while offering a taste of a variety of wines. Lastly, a private chef will prepare a delicious meal featuring local ingredients and of course, paired with wines from the vineyards they’ve just finished exploring.
For the luxury- and thrill-seeking traveler, Majestic Hotel & Spa Barcelona will offer the opportunity to hand-pick a luxury vehicle, be it a Lamborghini, Ferrari or Porsche, to drive around the city. After taking in Barcelona’s vibrant streets, they’ll then have the opportunity to race at a professional racetrack. Located on the outskirts of Barcelona, at the track travelers can select additional 500-horsepower exotic cars to drive, an experience that is as unforgettable as it is heart-pumping.
Boasting a notable architectural history, Barcelona is home to dozens of breathtaking buildings and residences that previously belonged to Catalan’s high society. This Majestic Experience is a walking tour departing from the hotel to the “Remarkable Residences,” a crowd-free, non-touristy collection of modernist homes. These buildings, such as the Rocamora Private Cultural Foundation and the Casa Amatller, were previously owned by collectors who placed a special emphasis on interior design and art. The experience ends with a private dinner, surrounded by art and history, held in the dining room of one of the houses.
One of the great hidden treasures of Barcelona is its fishing port and market, where customers bid for the best catches of the day. A marine biologist, and the only approved tour guide in the area, will take hotel guests through the market, explaining the art of fishing, the structure of the port and the integral role it plays in the local daily life. Guests can also roam around La Barceloneta, a coastal neighborhood where some of the freshest and tastiest tapas are served. For dinner back at the hotel, a private chef will prepare the fish that guests selected at the market earlier that day.
Barcelona is widely considered the European birthplace of hot chocolate. Travelers with a sweet tooth will be hard-pressed to find a better way to discover the city than by visiting its most famous chocolatiers. An expert tour guide will take guests to classic-style shops, such as Dulcinea and La Granja, and then to modern shops that have reinterpreted chocolate, such as Chök or Be Chocolat. Tastings and workshops can be coordinated based on client preferences. The guide, who is also a historian, will take guests on a stroll through the El Gotic and El Raval neighborhoods, a young and vibrant part of Barcelona.
Majestic Experience require an additional charge and prices vary per season. These can be booked and customized with the help of the property’s concierge.
