Since 1919, the Hotel Palace, formerly known as Hotel Ritz, has been a symbol of tradition, elegance, style and service. Located in the heart of Barcelona, on a tree-lined boulevard in the commercial and financial district, the hotel is close to all major points of tourist interest. Each of its 125 spacious and carefully decorated rooms and suites provide an atmosphere of well-being and luxurious comfort. Indulge in a gastronomic journey at three onsite restaurants, including Caelis Restaurant, a singular reference of 21st century Spanish cuisine that reinvents the hotel's gourmet menu; Diana's Garden Restaurant which is an oasis of peace and tranquillity with daily breakfast buffets; and the cozy Dawn "Petite Brasserie", created for the enjoyment of a lighter fare as well as complete meals. Two bars make each guest's stay more enjoyable. The Hall Bar is a landmark in the social life of Barcelona, evoking the hotel's most splendid history. Afternoon tea and live piano music are featured daily. The Scotch Bar offers a wide variety of cocktails and mixers in the purest English style.
