Few rooms in Barcelona carry this much history and still feel this alive. Since 1919, Grand Hall has been at the center of the city’s social life — beneath crystal chandeliers and gilded mirrors, amid a quiet rotation of art and the steady rhythm of daily life. A room with a century of stories. Come for afternoon tea, lunch, dinner, or simply a cocktail at the bar.

Dining at Grand Hall
The Grand Hall is open for lunch, dinner, and everything the day brings. Executive Chef Hicham Houmidide leads a menu that moves between classic international dishes and Catalan cuisine built on locally sourced ingredients, with a changing selection that follows the season. The kind of menu that always has something worth ordering, whether for a full meal or something lighter in between.
Traditional Afternoon Tea
Surrounded by the elegant ambience of the Grand Hall, traditional British Afternoon Tea is served daily, featuring fine china, tiered stands of sandwiches, freshly baked scones and pastries prepared by our pastry team, paired with a curated tea selection and optional champagne or cava. Younger guests can enjoy their own special Children’s Afternoon Tea, with delightful treats created just for them.
Drinks & spirits at the bar
The bar at Grand Hall is one of Barcelona’s most atmospheric settings for a drink. Our bartenders bring together Mediterranean flavors and unexpected influences, signature cocktails and premium spirits, served with the kind of ease that only comes from genuine expertise.
