Hotel El Palace Barcelona: Where History Takes a Siesta

Nestled in the Eixample district, Hotel El Palace Barcelona is a hop, skip, and a jump from the lively Ramblas and the shopper's paradise. Built back in 1919, the hotel greets you with a facade that screams neoclassical, minus the toga. Inside, the rooms are as cool as cucumbers—air-conditioned, no less. They're kitted out with all the bells and whistles: minibar for midnight cravings, satellite TV for binge-watching, a desk for scribbling postcards, and a bathroom so private, even the towels blush.

Nibble on something tasty at L'Éclair in the lobby, or head up to the Winter Garden Restaurant on the roof for a meal with a view. Fancy a tipple? The Bluesman Cocktail Bar has you covered. And if you're feeling the need for a sweat, the Mayan-style spa offers a Temazcal sauna. There's also a gym for those who enjoy a good leg day, a business center for the workaholics, and an outdoor pool for the splashers. In just a 5-minute wander, you'll bump into Passeig de Gràcia train and metro station, with Urquinaona metro station around the corner. Gaudí's Casa Batlló and La Pedrera are just a stone's throw away, or maybe a 15-minute walk, if your arm isn't that strong.
