Hotel description

Formerly Catalonia Princesa. This modern hotel is located next to Barcelona's Arco de Triunfo and Ciutadella Park in the historical and commercial centre of the city, near to Plaza Cataluña and the Gothic quarter.

The hotel is set in a building characteristic of the beginning of the textile industry era of Catalonia. Previously, it consisted of a stately building that was used as a home by the business owner and his family. The rest comprised a number of buildings situated around a central courtyard, the function of which was to provide light and ventilation for the various plants that worked with the steam machines that operated the weaves.

The building was refurbished with the greatest respect for its original features. One of the most characteristic areas of the hotel is the central courtyard, which is decorated in warm colours and is open to a large quantity of natural light. The skylight closes the courtyard off but lets a great amount of light through to every communal area: the restaurant, bar and lounge.

The balconies maintain the appearance of the period in which the building was constructed, and are finished in fine Catalan stoneware in which all the pieces are of the same quality and colour.

All the guests at the hotel can enjoy the spa located in one of the chain’s other hotels, the Catalonia Ramblas, which is situated near the Catalonia Born.
