Majestic Hotel, Barcelona

Passeig de Gràcia, 68, 08007 Barcelona, Spain (show on map)

Opened in 1918 on the glamorous Passeig de Gràcia, the Majestic Hotel & Spa is a legendary slice of Barcelona history. Still run by the founding Soldevila-Casals family, this neoclassical landmark has spent over a century hosting creative icons like Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, and Ernest Hemingway.

During the Spanish Civil War, the building took on a vastly different role when it was requisitioned as the propaganda headquarters for the Catalan government. It became the gathering hub for foreign journalists covering the conflict, cementing its place in the city’s political history.

Renowned interior designer Antonio Obrador spearheaded a massive renovation that seamlessly blended its classic heritage with fresh, eclectic styling. Today, the property is widely celebrated as a “hotel of the arts,” showcasing an incredible private collection of over 1,000 notable paintings and sculptures.

Beyond the art, it features the city’s largest luxury suite—the massive 500-square-meter Majestic Royal Penthouse. If you visit, head up to the La Dolce Vitae rooftop terrace; it offers a plunge pool and spectacular views of Antoni Gaudí’s famous Sagrada Família.

Expert reviews

CNN review:

“About 100 years old, the Majestic peers with a certain gravitas down Paseo de Gracia, Barcelona’s major shopping avenue. From the rooftop terrace bar you can see how the city grew outward from its neatly gridded center.”

Fodors review:

“With an unbeatable location on Barcelona’s most stylish boulevard, steps from Gaudí’s La Pedrera and a stone’s throw from the boulevard’s swankiest shops, this hotel is a near-perfect place to stay.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Barcelona.

Forbes review:

“Located in the heart of Barcelona’s most luxurious shopping district, Passeig de Gràcia, Majestic Hotel & Spa boasts one the most desirable locations in the city. The impressive neoclassical façade together with the great service is the landmark of the hotel, which opened in 1918 and is still run by the same original family.”

Telegraph review:

“The Majestic has long been a place in which locals take pride (and will come to dine or drink). It’s grand in the old sense, but kitted out with every modern facility. It has worked hard of late to shake off fusty image it has had for decades, with a brighter dining experience and DJs mixing on the rooftop sun deck.”

Looking for a premium feeling in the heart of barcelona? This is the spot

Clean, convenient, great location, good breakfast, great atmosphere in the terrace bar

The name of the hotel includes “Spa” however the quality of massage or the facility was dissappointing. A person should not book this hotel if the primary reason is having a good spa experience. In my opinion, they should not include that phrase in their name. Other than that everything was perfect

Iconic hotel in the heart of the city

Location is wonderful. Close to many museums and landmarks. Hotel is clean and staff were accommodating, pleasant and friendly. We had a gorgeous and very comfortable room with a balcony of the city. We would definitely stay there again!

Service that truly defines the Majestic

From the moment of arrival the atmosphere of the hotel is set by the team. The service is attentive, kind and genuinely personal. Professional without distance, close without ever being overly familiar. It is the kind of hospitality that feels natural and sincere.

The Majestic has the character of a classic grand hotel and it is clear that the property is being progressively updated while preserving its identity. What really makes the place memorable, however, is the people. Because this is not a large chain with scripted interactions or strange incentive systems. What you find here is something much rarer today: a culture where attentiveness, kindness and genuine care are simply expected and practiced every day. And you can feel that it is real.

The reception in particular deserves special recognition. The welcome was exceptional. It was attentive, thoughtful and genuinely warm. Honestly the best reception experience I have had in a luxury hotel in more than a decade, and I have stayed in quite a few.

The spa is excellent and clearly part of the newer areas of the hotel, beautifully designed and very relaxing. The rooftop terrace is easily one of the best places in Barcelona to enjoy a drink, with excellent cocktails, beautiful views of the city and a wonderful atmosphere.

Breakfast is also outstanding and easily among the best in the city. The awards it has received are fully deserved.

But in the end what truly makes the Majestic special is the team. That kind of authentic hospitality is something you rarely find today and it elevates the whole experience.

The rooms, corridors and lifts are beginning to show their age and could benefit from a refresh (They are great but for the level of the property they are already calling for it). That said, the property is already in an update process which is awesome.

Would stay again but the rooftop bar is overrated

Love the hotel, location , reception, rooms, bedding, housekeeping, etc.

The hotel itself was absolutely amazing but the roof bar service was extremely poor. We actually left because no one came to take our order.

Majestic Hotel made our time in Barcelona a magnificent experience.

Majestic Hotel & SPA offers The Best breakfast , with the variety of the most delicious pastries, hot and cold items with the freshest ingredients. Also, if I wish I could give 10 star rating for Majestic Hotel guests service. From the entrance, concierge, front desk, breakfast, restaurant…. all go above and beyond to help the their guests. We already miss the staff , the beautiful Majestic Hotel in the city center and walking to the great shopping district.

We LOVED everything about this hotel, and highly recommended it.

Everything was just right and delicious, like the sunlight. .

Many thanks to the entire G/R team, the booking team, and the driver, Miquel Ubeda Soler. They were very attentive throughout my stay. The roommaids also did a fantastic job. This was my second visit and I’m thinking of coming back again. The room, especially the jacuzzi on the terrace, was wonderful.
