Located in the heart of Barcelona's most luxurious shopping district, Passeig de Gràcia, Majestic Hotel & Spa boasts one the most desirable locations in the city. The impressive neoclassical façade together with the great service is the landmark of the hotel, which opened in 1918 and is still run by the same original family.
The Majestic is far from stuffy and staid, though, and has been renovated to reflect a sophisticated but still classic ethos.
It holds one of the best private modern art collections in Barcelona — contemporary works span the 20th century, with significant contributions from Antoni Tàpies, Richard Long and Anish Kapoor. The rooftop pool and bar are crowd pleasers, as are the spa and first-floor restaurant.
