A suite dedicated to the founder of modern luxury hospitality — and the man who made El Palace possible.
The César Ritz Art Suite is available as one or two-bedroom configurations
César Ritz, the visionary who defined modern luxury hospitality, established one of his legendary hotels in Barcelona — introducing a new vision of service, elegance, and social life to the city. This suite honors that legacy, combining generous space, Louis XVI-style furnishings, pearl and sand tones with red accents and gold leaf details, and the elegance that has defined the hotel since 1919.
"Never say no when a client asks for something, even if it is the moon. You can always try, and anyhow, there is plenty of time afterwards to explain that it was not possible."

The architect of modern hospitality
César Ritz shaped the way the world understood luxury through impeccable service, elegant spaces, and a culture of hospitality that placed the guest at the center of everything. His influence is present throughout El Palace Barcelona to this day.
A vision for Barcelona
Francesc Cambó, one of Catalonia’s most influential politicians and patrons of the arts, believed Barcelona deserved a world-class hotel to stand alongside the great addresses of Europe. With the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition on the horizon, the city was ready and César Ritz made it a reality.
