Majestic Hotel & Spa Barcelona, hotel review

A stalwart of the Catalonia capital’s hospitality scene, the Majestic Hotel & Spa has held its place on Barcelona’s most privileged avenue since 1918, yet has a youthful vibe thanks to its vibey rooftop restaurant and summer DJs sessions.

Location

Located on Barcelona’s luxury shopping stretch, Passeig de Gràcia, the hotel is as close to Versace, Bottega Veneta, Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Prada as it is to Gaudí’s masterpieces: Casa Batlló and La Pedrera. Meanwhile, the Sagrada Familia and the medieval old town are a metro ride or short taxi ride away. While the area lends itself to sightseeing, it’s equally fun spending a day meandering around the Gràcia area, discovering vibey bars, seafood restaurants, or, if the wind blows you in that direction, a new designer handbag. Visitors flock here for the affluence and ease – but stay for the Modernista architecture and Michelin star restaurants.
