Press quotes
"With a relaxed atmosphere, this 147-room hotel in the heart of Barcelona—everything seems a ten-minute walk from the front door—is hip without the attitude." Conde Nast Traveler 06
The chic rooms (described as ‘Zen on the Med’) and the uber-hip roof terrace combine with attitude-free service and atmosphere to make this one of our favourite Barcelona design hotels.Special rates over the Christmas period, including breakfast and welcome gift, from EUR 165 per night
The Hotel Writes
Grand Hotel Central is a luxury hotel located in the centre of the city next to Barcelona’s cathedral. This luxury hotel offers spectacular views of the entire Gothic district and the ancient city walls.
From the hotel, the best city attractions can be comfortably accessed: Las Ramblas, the shopping zone around Plaza Cataluna, the most visited museums and the seafront.
In recent years, the most fashionable zone of Barcelona has developed right next to the hotel: El Born district, replete with surprising shops, designer bars and restaurants scattered throughout its narrow streets and well-lit plazas.
If you are looking for relaxation, you will be able to enjoy the beaches and the maritime flavour still present in Barcelona, close to the hotel.

The Grand Hotel Central is a new city-centre design hotel, just yards from Barcelona Cathedral. They've branded it 'grand' on the basis that it will become a Barcelona institution, echoing the days of the old railway station hotels, where dignified tourists from northern Europe would gravitate on their stately way south. The design hotel is certainly in a grand position, very centrally located. Its attraction is its crisp, minimalist modernity and its location on the edge of the Born. For those in search of a hard-edged, cool design hotel in a central location, the Central will fit the bill.
The facilities
Apart from the small reception of Grand Hotel Central, there's a library and meeting room in the front and a quiet, chill-out lounge area at the back. The breakfast room is light and functional. The star attraction of the design hotel is the rooftop infinity pool, often photographed for magazines, with great cityscape views.
The rooms
As the design hotel was a purpose-built conversion, the 147 rooms are of a uniform and decent size. Double-glazed office windows give them a hermetically sealed, box-like feel, accentuated by the boxy beds and square chairs; nor is there much in the way of fabrics, just black out blinds without curtains. Stripped wooden flooring and brown/beige walls without decoration give The Grand Hotel Central a minimalist feel. Bathrooms at the design hotel are a little more pampering, with designer toiletries.
