Majestic Hotel and Spa Barcelona, Spain

Morning slides down the façades of Passeig de Gràcia, catching on wrought-iron balconies and polished limestone.

Inside the Majestic, chandeliers glow, marble cools the palms, and doormen in crisp jackets open the city like a gift.

With 258 rooms and suites, this opulent, historic icon pairs Belle Époque elegance with a rooftop terrace where Barcelona’s skyline—spires, domes, and the blue seam of sea—feels close enough to touch.

What Makes It Special

• Unbeatable address on Passeig de Gràcia, steps from Gaudí landmarks and designer boutiques
• Rooftop terrace & pool with wraparound views for golden-hour cocktails and lazy swims
• Serene urban spa with hammam, sauna, and treatment suites
• Polished dining & pastries—Mediterranean plates, cava on ice, and a pastry counter that perfumes the lobby
• Living history: grand staircases, original moldings, and salons made for long conversations

A Day at Majestic Hotel & Spa Barcelona

Morning

Fresh-butter croissants and a glass of just-pressed orange juice; the lobby smells faintly of coffee and stone. You stroll under plane trees on Passeig de Gràcia, the clink of cups from terrazas keeping time.

Afternoon

Back at the rooftop, sunlight pools on travertine; you drift between lounges and water, city roofs glittering beyond the glass. A light lunch—salt-kissed anchovies, tomato-rubbed pa amb tomàquet, a crisp white that tastes like citrus and sea breeze.

Evening

After a eucalyptus steam in the spa, dress for dinner: soft linen, polished shoes, the elevator’s quiet sigh. The bar hums—low jazz, cut crystal, the perfume of orange peel.

Night

From your balcony, La Dreta de l’Eixample glows—grids of warm windows, a distant tram bell, the soft hush of the boulevard below.
