Originally The Ritz. Where Barcelona’s life unfolds
Just steps from Passeig de Gràcia, El Palace Barcelona is the first 5-star hotel in Barcelona and a historic landmark where classic charm meets contemporary luxury. Opened in 1919 as The Ritz, it has shaped the social and cultural life of the city ever since. Acclaimed dining by Chef Rafa Zafra at Amar Barcelona, a Rooftop Garden above the skyline, elegant rooms and suites, and a Mayan-inspired spa come together in a hotel where heritage, gastronomy, and hospitality naturally shape every stay.

Opened in 1919 as The Ritz and conceived to position Barcelona among Europe’s leading capitals, El Palace Barcelona became the city’s first five-star hotel and one of its most significant cultural meeting points. Over a century later, art, culture, gastronomy, and social life still converge here — in the same spaces, with the same spirit.
El Palace Barcelona is home to the city’s largest team of Les Clefs d’Or concierges — the gold standard of concierge excellence. Built on longstanding relationships and a deep knowledge of the city, they don’t simply recommend. They open doors, anticipate needs, and connect guests to Barcelona in ways that no guidebook can.
