ABOUT THE MAJESTIC HOTEL & SPA BARCELONA
“In the world of great luxury hotels, the old is now the new” — that is what the experts have to say when speaking about hotels with tradition and history such as the Majestic Hotel & Spa Barcelona.
The Majestic Barcelona is a truly historic hotel, located at the heart of the stylish Passeig de Gràcia, which in its heyday played host to Ernest Hemingway and Antonio Machado. Following a five-year renovation carried out by the interior designer Antonio Obrador, the hotel has once again taken its place among the iconic landmarks of this great little city. Since its opening in 1918, this hotel has been owned by the Soldevila-Casals family and has played an active role in Barcelona’s architecture, society, and lifestyle for the last 100 years. Located in a French neoclassical building on the Paseo de Gracia, its spectacular views of city landmarks, such as the Sagrada Familia and La Casa Batlló, are famous.
Its broad-ranging cuisine presided over by Catalan chef Nandu Jubany, holder of one Michelin star, is a perfect mix of local and market Mediterranean cuisine, traditional Catalan cooking and international twists, with classic and contemporary options where the emphasis, above all, is on class and distinction. Its breakfast has been recognized by the prestigious Prix Villégiature as the best breakfast in Europe, 2018. In 2019, Prix Villégiature recognized the hotel once again, naming its recently renovated rooftop terrace, La Dolce Vitae, with its panoramic views of the city as the best hotel terrace in Europe. For 2022, the hotel has been recognised by Prix Villégiature in two categories, being nominated for the best hotel suite in the world and the best hotel art contribution in the world. Likewise, the prestigious association of luxury hotels to which the Majestic has belonged to since December 2014, The Leading Hotels of the World, has recognised it with the “Remarkably Uncommon” award at its annual members meeting in 2018.
