Majestic Hotel & Spa Barcelona

One of the best hotels in Barcelona, especially in terms of elegance and location, the Majestic Hotel is a veritable landmark in the city. Set in the heart of the Paseo de Gracia, the city’s most luxurious shopping street and home to several Gaudí creations, the neoclassical hotel is a true beacon of excellence. The hotel was built in 1918 had has been closely linked with the Spanish artistic community ever since. Joan Miró was often a guest at the hotel, and the hotel has hosted several cutting edge exhibitions, and is today home to over one thousand works of art. Along with the visual arts, the Majestic also strongly encourages excellence in the culinary arts, boasting several dining and drinking options, including the Michelin-starred Drolma. Recreational activities include the resident Majestic Spa & Fitness Center.

Drolma
Take a day to embark on a culinary expedition; you’re in Barcelona after all. Take a break from your shopping along Paseo de Gracia and step into Drolma, a temple of high cuisine. Everything in the restaurant masterminded by Chef Fermí Puig, its refined atmosphere and its exquisite dishes, will assure you that you are in good hands. Fermí trained in traditional French cuisine, though he remains loyal to the Catalan setting. Drolma’s menu based on seasonal produce fresh from the market is without doubt a tribute to Spanish cuisine. The quality of the ingredients used for the market menu ensures perfect flavours. The most recent dishes includes pintade and blue lobster marinade, suquet of coastline fish, acorn duckling with apples, and catalan crème brûlée foam.

The Bar
A classic meeting place, the bar has been styled after the traditional English bars, peaceful but lively, cozy, but with impeccable class. Guests can enjoy light meals, sophisticated cocktails, and pre-dinner aperitifs. The Gourmet Bar, on the tenth floor of the hotel, is the ideal place to enjoy drinks al fresco on the magnificent panoramic terrace.
