Catalonia Ramblas Hotel
Get into the Barcelona vibe at the Catalonia Ramblas hotel, set in the lively commercial and cultural centre of the city, next to Plaza Cataluña and Las Ramblas. Stay at a modernist icon from the early 20th century that has been fully restored with an interior patio, pool and chillout zone for when you want to walk back from the urban noise.
Be wowed by the gastronomic offering of the Pelai restaurant, with its old-school Catalan cuisine given a modern twist and its summer patio packed with charm. As night falls, visit the Vanguard Terrace on the hotel rooftop for the best views of Barcelona. Tap the hotel’s privileged location to organise events or celebrations in one of our 9 refurbished rooms fitted with the latest technology. We also have a wellness area in the Alegría spa where you can wind down in a sauna or Turkish bath or enjoy a good massage.
Did you know that the Catalonia Ramblas hotel is located in a group of buildings that used to house the offices of the newspaper La Vanguardia? It was designed and built in 1903 by the architect Josep Majó Ribas, specifically to house the headquarters of the Barcelona newspaper. They worked here until 2004, when we completely remodeled it to become our Catalonia Ramblas hotel, inaugurated in 2006.
It is the only modernist building on Pelai street, which is why it undoubtedly draws the attention of all passers-by. The fully restored façade is especially attractive for its green-themed sgraffito. If you look up, you will see that the balconies still have their wrought iron railings and that the building is crowned with four merlons combined with decorative trellis.
The hotel reception will welcome you with a wooden design that continues to the Gastrobar, where you can eat or have a drink next to the spacious common areas. If you are a lover of good food, the Catalonia Ramblas hotel has a lot to offer you. The Pelai restaurant is an intimate space for a maximum of 50 diners in elegant surroundings. Our gastronomic proposal is based on traditional Catalan cuisine. If you prefer international food, Pelai offers a brunch menu every day until 1:00 p.m. with prior reservation.
In the inner courtyard of the buildings that make up the Catalonia Ramblas hotel, a beautiful garden terrace awaits you with a swimming pool, a chill-out area and a solarium with hammocks for you to tan. You will also find the Terrassa de Pelai, ideal for lunch or dinner in a relaxed atmosphere and try its unique menu, which highlights the meat and fish dishes cooked in a josper oven.
Be amazed by the most exclusive views of Barcelona at The Vanguard Terrace, our designer rooftop to which we invite you whether you are staying at the hotel or not. Open year-round, head upstairs for a quiet moment as you take in the city.
