This hotel (a member of Design Hotels) is located in the centre of the city, next to Barcelona’s cathedral, with spectacular views of the entire Gothic district and the ancient city walls. From the hotel, the most interesting things in the city can be comfortably accessed including Las Ramblas, the shopping zone around Plaza Cataluña, the most visited museums in Barcelona and also the seafront. In recent years, the most fashionable zone of Barcelona has developed right next to the hotel: the El Born district, with surprising shops, designer bars and restaurants scattered throughout its narrow streets and well-lit plazas.

The 147 large rooms at the Grand Hotel Central are a perfect combination of avant-garde design and cool ambience, designed by the prestigious interior design team made up of Sandra Tarruella and Isabel López. You will enjoy the same standards of luxury, comfort and excellent service in all of the rooms.

Restaurant Ávalon is managed by the prestigious chef Ramón Freixa, selected as the best chef in the country a few years ago and internationally recognised for his imagination and talent. Ramon aims to redouble his commitment towards popular and modern cuisine by bringing new ideas to the Catalan cuisine flavours and seasonal products.

Probably the most spectacular pool in the centre of Barcelona, guests can sunbathe and relax in the "infinity" swimming pool, whose smooth surface blends with the rooftops of the neighbouring Born district and the sea. For more hotel details, please click here
