Hotel description
Grand Hotel Central is located in the centre of the city, next to Barcelona’s cathedral, with spectacular views of the entire Gothic district and the ancient city walls. The hotel’s surrounding are now some of the trendiest in Barcelona, notably the El Born district, with many surprising shops, designer bars and restaurants scattered throughout its narrow streets and well-lit plazas.
The hotel harmoniously combines luxury, modern comfort, generous spaces and quality service. Their rooms are a perfect combination of avant-garde design taking care of the details. In every room you will be able to take advantage of equally luxurious and comfortable services. The Central Grand Hotel also offers you the most spectacular pool in the centre of Barcelona, a rooftop "infinity" pool to sunbathe and relax in, and whose smooth surface visually blends with the rooftops of the neighbouring Born district and the sea. Finally, The Avalon Restaurant is managed by the prestigious chef Ramón Freixa, selected as the best chef in the country a few years ago and internationally recognised for his imagination and talent.
Location
Located downtown, opposite the Cathedral, the Grand Hotel Central is nestled in the heart of the medieval center of Barcelona; one of the best preserved in all of Europe. The Ramblas are only 10 minutes walk away, and the majority of the city's main attractions can be visited on foot.

"The pool was great!"
Klaus P. - Finland - 27-Jul-09 -
"The room was amazingly big , with nice design. Being the biggest room (mastersuite 612) it was disappointing that it was so dark (only one small window on the northside), no colour or brightness. A bit gloomy and depressing actually."

"I thought the hotel was lovely. It would have been very nice to sit in the lobby and have coffee or a drink but this facility was not available. The pool on the roof was just great, I had an early morning swim and enjoyed it immensely."
Jane T. - United Kingdom - 04-Oct-07 -

"The food at breakfast was excellent but the service was slow. The staff were doing there best but there were so many people they were unable to take orders for hot food and drinks quick enough."
Craig D. - United Kingdom - 06-Jun-07 -
"Great hotel, very nice architecture. We liked the roof-top swimming pool a lot as well as the special furniture in our room. Waiting time for elevator sometimes very long. Poor water pressure (6th floor) in the shower. Overall great, very friendly!"
