“El Palace Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

My husband and I are spending our last night at this beautiful hotel tonight and want to complement the entire staff and premises. Celine, the manager, sought us out to introduce herself to us, and has been extremely courteous and friendly. We were upgraded to a junior suite, which is most comfortable. The recent renovations still give it the "old world charm" that we enjoy. We also visited several other hotels while here, and realize that this one is superior!

“Wonderful hotel and great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012
6
people found this review helpful

We stayed at El Palace for a week in January and found this to be a luxurious hotel in a great location. The rooms were very spacious and the beds were exceptionally comfortable. We even had a huge walk in closet. I am so pleased that we chose this hotel over other options. The staff were friendly, helpful and quick to respond to our needs. My husband advised the hotel that we were celebrating my 60th birthday and retirement and on our arrival were given a complimentary bottle of champagne. When we return to Barcelona, we will definitley stay here again!

Room Tip: We requested a room on a higher floor due to previous comments about the subway noise and were given...

“A true palace.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Only a few minutes walk form the main shopping street of Las Ramblas, this hotel shouldn't be described a hotel, it's more like stepping into a palace. We had a long 13 hour flight and all we wanted was to get to the hotel and do a bit of sightseeing. When we stepped in, your were greeted by a glistening chandelier, accompanied by two guards. The lounge was draped with green and purple hues and was the main highlight of the hotel. We actually got upgraded and we got a fabulous room. The room itself was elegant and very spacious with an oversized bath and rain shower. A definite choice in the heart of Barcelona!
