Hotel description

Formerly Catalonia Albinoni. This fabulous hotel is situated on Puerta del Ángel, a large pedestrian shopping street in the city centre, a few metres from Plaza Cataluña and the cathedral.

The current hotel building is a former palace from the 19th century, listed as a building of historical and artistic interest. It was built in 1872 by the Master Builder Pedro Bassegoda i Mateu (1817 – 1908) and, since then, the neoclassical facade has been kept intact, with its austerity and baroque and Romanesque motifs.

The width of the surprising entrance was designed for the carriages to pass through at the beginning of the 19th century. It leads to the interior courtyard of the building, which has been refurbished in accordance with the original design and contains a spectacular marble staircase typical of the stately homes of the period. Continuing along the corridor, it leads to El Jardí de l’Àngel, where it is easy to disconnect from life outside.

El Jardí de l’Àngel is a charmingly refreshing interior garden covering 600 m2. It is entirely in the open air and located in the centre of Barcelona. This lavish place is divided into two main areas: the glass-covered, heated pergola, in which breakfast and lunch are served, and the terraced area, decorated entirely in wood and gardened with all kinds of plants and palm trees. It has designer tables protected from the sun by sunshades and a beautiful swimmingpool that completes the sensation of relaxation in the garden.

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 less than 500 m from the Catalonia Albinoni.
