Famous for its unparalleled aesthetics,
Barcelona is a true paradise for architecture and design lovers. The capital of Catalonia is home to iconic buildings, with
Antoni Gaudí standing out as the great master, whose works are marked by
sinuous lines, lack of symmetry and vibrant colors .
An excellent starting point for exploring the city is the
Majestic Hotel & Spa , a neoclassical French mansion located on Paseo de Gracia, just a few steps from Catalonia's famous Rambla and Gaudí's masterpieces, such as
Casa Batlló and
Sagrada Familia. , as well as being surrounded by trees, boutiques, cafes and open-air restaurants.
Opened in 1918, the hotel has
258 accommodations in four categories – Deluxe, Privilege, Suite, Penthouse and Majestic Royal Penthouse –, designed to offer comfort, warmth and lots of personality. The
penthouse ,
now the largest in Barcelona , occupies the ninth floor and offers
469 square meters of luxury and stunning views .
This year, Majestic completed
one of its biggest renovations in recent times , investing mainly in the redesign of its famous urban spa. With a new décor designed by designer
Antonio Obrador , the new Wellness area has been expanded to 340 square meters, and the centerpiece of the change is the new indoor pool environment, with
hand-painted wallpapers , pastel tones, lots of wood and a relaxing lighting.
Majestic recently received the “
Cultural Hotel ” seal from Gremi d'Hôtels de Barcelona, an initiative created to value establishments that value offering access to local heritage. “This recognition honors our dedication to the tradition and history of our hotel, where culture and art meet luxury and hospitality,” said the hotel's General Director, Pascal Billard, on the occasion of the award. One of the hotel's cultural initiatives is
guided tours for guests and visitors through the collection of
more than a thousand works of art that adorn its walls, rooms and corridors, which house creations by artists such as
Richard Long ,
Anish Kapoor and
Lluís Lleó .
