Majestic Hotel & Spa Barcelona

pened in 1918 as the Majestic Hotel Inglaterra, the hotel took its place on Barcelona’s prestigious Passeig de Gràcia just as the boulevard was emerging as the city’s most elegant address. As Barcelona grew into a vibrant cultural and cosmopolitan capital, the Majestic became a distinguished meeting place, welcoming royalty, artists, intellectuals and international travellers. Over the decades, Majestic Hotel & Spa Barcelona has remained closely connected to the city’s cultural and artistic life. Its guests have included writers, poets, painters and performers such as Antonio Machado, Federico García Lorca, Joan Miró, Pablo Picasso, Josephine Baker, Renata Tebaldi and Ernest Hemingway. During the Spanish Civil War, the hotel also became an important meeting place for international correspondents, an episode that forms part of its enduring historical legacy. In December 2014, the hotel joined The Leading Hotels of the World, marking a new chapter in its history and affirming its place among the world’s leading independent luxury hotels. Today, the Majestic Hotel & Spa Barcelona continues to honour its heritage while defining the next chapter of luxury hospitality.
