El Palace Barcelona is as much a dining destination as it is a place to stay — four spaces, each with its own character, together shaping the rhythm of the day. From a quiet breakfast in El Jardín and afternoon tea in The Grand Hall, to the energy of Amar Barcelona, a true destination for fine dining in Barcelona, and a lively evening above the city on the Rooftop Garden, this is a hotel where the table is always at the center of things.
Premier culinary destination
Four unique settings designed for every occasion
AMAR Barcelona
High-end Mediterranean dining steps from your room, led by Rafa Zafra, who was part of the El Bulli team under Ferran Adrià. Shaped by the sea, the season, and an uncompromising focus on product.

Grand Hall
The social heart of El Palace Barcelona since 1919. An iconic space where art, dining, and afternoon tea bring guests and locals together from morning into the evening.
