We stayed here for a special birthday weekend, and knowing Barcelona well, this is a wonderful escape from the bussle below. The staff could not have been more helpful, and our corner room, with views over Barcelona and to the Coll Serolla behind was truly magnificent. I am a great fan of Barcelona, and there are certainly different hotels for... More

Third or fourth stay here on car launches. It's on a mountain inland of Barcelona with an old amusement park alongside. Absolutely stunning views of the whole of Barcelona to the sea. Good food. Fully five star. Fully justifies its status as a 'Gran Hotel'.

Elegantly stylish, traditional and with only about 75 rooms, a little individual the Gran Hotel is one of the best places to stay in Barcelona. I say 'in Barcelona' but in fact the hotel is just outside on top of Tibidabo with the most amazing views over the city. And this is the only drawback as to get into Barca... More

The only negative thing I can say about this place is that it is far away from the city. But then again, why would you stay here if you wanted busy nightlife right outside your doorstep? The rooms are beautiful, the pool area is great and the view is amazing. I stayed for just one night as it is by... More

Magnificent hotel but nothing near it except an amusement park. Spa a bit cold and we used it once for that reason. Bus only operates when amusement park open (in april just at weekends) otherwise you have a 25 euro taxi fare each way into Barcelona. We ate in bar on one evening and were disappointed with lack of atmosphere... More

Just got back from a 3 night trip to celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary. I will start with the positives: first impressions were very good, with the Hotel in a beautiful location with amazing views of the city and the mountains. We were greeted with a welcome drink and shown around the hotel by a member of the front desk.... More

Amazing views both city view and mountain views. Although the hotel isn't in the city it only takes around 20mins in a car to travel to the city but a little longer via public transport. I don't believe the free shuttle bus is available anymore. The front of house staff were very helpful, pleasant and polite, unfortunately catering staff were... More

Just back form a great long weekend in Barcelona. This was our 2nd visit to the city and opted for a slightly out of town hotel - one with amazing views of the city. We were a little nervous about traveling between hotel and the city, but this was not a problem. Although the hotel no longer runs a free... More

Great views. Very romantic. Great service. Some say it is a bi far from downtown Barcelona but I disagree. Free shuttle takes you downtown and back.
