Catalonia Eixample 1864

Stay at a building with over 150 years of history at the Catalonia Eixample 1864. The Venetian-style wall paintings make this hotel unique in Barcelona. You will be just two streets across from Passeig de Gràcia, a central location to visit the city or nip here and there on business trips. 

Gastronomy plays a central role at the Catalonia Eixample 1864: Les Finestres de Llúria boasts locally sourced, lovingly prepped organic Catalan cuisine, while the Aromes Gastrobar works similar magic with typical Catalan-style hot breakfasts. Enjoy our rooftop with a glass pool, sun deck and chillout zone and, in summer, the small dishes and cocktails of Terraza 1864. Plus there is a car park in the building and EV charging points. If you’re still unsure, our events rooms can accommodate up to 300 people. So why not pay us a visit? 
 

Marvel at the uniqueness of the Catalonia Eixample 1864 hotel, which resides in the historic building built between 1863 and 1864 by property developer Josep Cerdà. Declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest, its perfectly preserved façade covers 1,200 m2 and is unique in the Eixample for its Venetian-style paintings, similar to those of some 15th-century Italian ducal palaces.

The painter was the Italian artist Raffaello Beltramini, a specialist in decorative painting and set design, who settled in Barcelona in the second half of the 19th century. Beltramini mainly used the fresco technique on the façade, where allegorical figures in bright colors stand out which, after the restoration work, you will be able to admire in their original state. They are figures that symbolize nature, arts, sciences and some cardinal virtues such as temperance, hope or prudence. As you can see, the paintings in the Catalonia Eixample 1864 hotel are harmoniously distributed under a hierarchical criterion, in relation to the importance that was given to each floor at the time.

Taste the best dishes of Catalan gastronomy at the Catalonia Eixample 1864 hotel restaurant, Les Finestres de Llúria, which is part of the Slow Food Barcelona movement. It is a concept of sustainable and local cuisine with KM0, organic and seasonal ingredients. Choose from the variety of dishes on the menu: rice dishes, fresh fish and the best meats, or opt for the 1864 tasting menu created by our chef Patro Hernández. Also, don't miss the Gastrobar Aromes, which follows in the footsteps of Finestres with traditional dishes, offers spoonful breakfasts every morning and has a central terrace at the confluence of Consell de Cent and Roger de Llúria streets.

If what you need is a space to organize a corporate event, we offer you 4 meeting rooms, two of which can be converted into a large conference room with capacity for up to 300 people. All are equipped with state-of-the-art audiovisual technology and with the option of a catering service.

Whether you come to the Catalonia Eixample 1864 hotel for work or leisure and tourism, be sure to go up to the top floor to enjoy the completely renovated terrace. Cool off in the spectacular pool with a glass edge or lie down on the hammocks and Balinese beds to sunbathe while admiring the views of the central district of l'Eixample. During the summer season we open Terraza 1864, where you can savor tapas, dishes, wines and cocktails without leaving our rooftop.

In addition, the hotel has free Wi-Fi throughout the building and private parking with charging points for electric vehicles (rates to check with reception via email or phone).

The Catalonia Eixample 1864 hotel is just two streets from Passeig de Gràcia, the most luxurious shopping avenue in Barcelona where you can visit famous modernist houses such as La Pedrera, Casa Batlló and Casa Amatller. It is also excellently connected to other points of interest such as the Sagrada Familia, Parc Güell, Plaza Catalunya and Las Ramblas, as well as Barcelona airport.

Stay in an unbeatable location at the Catalonia Eixample 1864 hotel and enjoy the atmosphere of the city without giving up moments of calm and relaxation.
