Step into the captivating story of the Grand Hotel Central, a majestic building dating back to 1926. Two brilliant minds, a visionary politician and patron of the arts, Francesc Cambó and an innovative Noucentista architect, Adolf Florensa. Their creativity and passion combined to shape a revolutionary building. Today, the Grand Hotel Central pays homage to the pioneering spirits of its creators and celebrates its rich history in every corner. This refurbishment honoured our century-old building’s history and the fascinating life of its founder, Francesc Cambó, a revered politician and patron of the arts. This luxury hotel in Barcelona is also home to a historic library that houses Cambó’s personal literary collection, an urban spa, unique spaces for events and a neoclassical secret garden. Our luxury hotel in the centre of Barcelona, on the emblematic via Layetana, between the historic Gothic neighbourhood, glistening beaches and the sophisticated Paseo de Gràcia, putting the city’s museums, theatres, historic sights, gastronomic delights, and creative treasures within easy reach. After a busy day exploring, there is no better spot in the city to watch the sun go down than on our breathtaking rooftop terrace La Terraza del Central, an idyllic hideaway offering an infinity pool, loungers, cocktail bar, restaurant, regular DJ sessions and the best views of the Barcelona skyline. Elsewhere, you can relax in our urban spa or enjoy sharing plates and local wines at our lively streetside restaurant & bodega Can Bo. Our guests are fast-tracked to the very best of local culture through works of art from renowned Catalan artists, while the entrance hall serves as a rotating in-house gallery space. Regular social events promise to create more in-depth connections with the city, such as literary talks and workshops, bespoke experiences tailored to each guest’s interests, and fascinating “rituals” designed to surprise and immerse guests in the building’s history and the daily life of the locals. All this within an elegant and relaxed atmosphere where attentive, friendly service is the highest priority.
