Grand Hotel Central Barcelona

Set right in the heart of the city, beside Barcelona Cathedral, the hotel has spectacular views of the whole Gothic district and ancient city walls.

Its outstanding location encourages guests to take a stroll out. Just a stone’s throw away there are some of the most interesting parts of the city: the Rambles, the Plaça Catalunya, the surprising Born district, the most popular museums, the best shops or the pleasant Passeig Marítim.

Nearby, a new attractive neighbourhood has emerged in the last few years called “ Barrio del Born” full of amazing shops, cafés, bars and designer restaurants, all spread throughout narrow streets and luminous squares. If you want to relax, near the hotel you can enjoy the beaches and the Mediterranean atmosphere that Barcelona still maintains.
