Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Reviews summary
This summary was created by AI, based on recent reviews.
Powered by AI

El Palace Barcelona garners high praise for its exceptional service, with guests frequently lauding the attentiveness and professionalism of the staff, especially the concierge. While some visitors mention extra fees for certain amenities, the hotel's luxurious rooms, rooftop offerings, and dining experiences generally receive acclaim. The spacious accommodations, appreciated for their blend of classic and modern elements, are sometimes seen as dated. Its prime location, within walking distance to major attractions, along with the hotel's immaculate cleanliness and sophisticated, yet cozy ambiance, are highlights. However, concerns are voiced about the perceived value considering the additional charges.

We enjoyed a four night stay in this historic hotel that packs a punch in terms of its beautiful cavernous public areas and lovely spacious bedrooms that are furnished to a high quality with a good range of amenities. The location is superb and close to the main areas of Barcelona with plenty of transport options. Concierge staff are very helpful and attentive. The roof top bar was enjoyable as was the ground floor bar although some staff lacked good hospitality skills and were rather arrogant and unhelpful. Plenty of good restaurant choices close at hand including a lovely steak house across the road. Hotels Cocktail bar was closed during our visit for some reason. Would not recommend the in-house Amar restaurant which was overrated, expensive, and not the food quality that we expected, evidenced by the lack of other patrons when we dined there.

When visiting a city like Barcelona, consider how you want your accommodation experience to feel. Do you want modern Barcelona or more old world classic. We opted for a more classic historic building and stayed at El Palace. This hotel has an excellent central location for what we wanted to do and see in the city. We walked almost everywhere but taxis are very easy to hail. Pre arrival the hotel sent a questionnaire asking if we wanted certain things and we requested an ironing board and iron, and a coffee maker in room. Our classic room was spacious and clean. The fireplace and small balcony added to the ambiance of the nicely appointed room. We had plenty of closet space and a large bathroom with a wonderful rain shower and separate tub. The staff speaks English (and other languages) so communication was a breeze. A very well trained, professional and friendly staff attends to every need. The rooftop has a pool, 2 small restaurants and it’s the only hotel where you can enjoy a 360 view of Barcelona. We considered this an added attraction and enjoyed a beverage there on a sunny afternoon. We also enjoyed dinner at the seafood restaurant Amar, top quality entertainment at The Bluesman Bar on the lower level, and a visit to the Mayan Luxury Spa. This is a 5 star hotel for good reason and we found it well worth the room price. So if you are thinking about a stay at an historic elegant property, with wonderful staff, this is the property for you. As with all hotels, prices go up or down with the seasons so if you want to save a little money, enjoy the hotel during non peak times.

Beautiful hotel steeped in history with past guests including a long list of celebrities. They provide a historical book on the hotel in the room which gives a wonderful story of the glamour and "Ritz". We stayed in a Family Suite which included three separate bedrooms connected by a hallway. This setup was perfect for teenage children who love their own space and for the adults who do as well! The service at this hotel was beyond 5 star. Every single staff member was helpful, courteous and over all a joy to talk to. They go out of their way to make sure you are taken care of. Most of the staff speak beautiful English as well as Spanish and Catalan. The restaurant staff is one of the most hard working crews we have encountered often working the breakfast shift and then lunch at the roof pool. The location of the hotel made it possible to walk to most of the tourist sites.

Classically beautiful hotel, located on the Gran Via, great location with close proximity to the upscale shopping district and within walking distance of most of Barcelona’s main attractions. From the moment you arrive, you are greeted by the very professional staff and surrounded by classic art deco elegance. Our Superior King with a city view room was spacious, featuring a double sink bathroom with both tub and shower. The breakfast buffet was delicious, served in a beautiful setting where you could choose either inside or outside. Make sure to have a cocktail at the stunning bar. A cocktail on the rooftop bar is a must, with gorgeous city views. By far, our favorite hotel during our 15 day visit to Spain.

Recently traveling through Spain prior to a family wedding, the El Palace was our home in Barcelona. This historic and classic hotel exudes the charm and luxury expected of a granddame, with all the amenities that appeal to not only the mature, but a chic and trendy guest. Service is paramount from check-in to check-out, at the front office to the restaurants, bars, housekeeping and throughout.

Stunning furnishings, art, and antiquities set the tone in the hotel’s public areas as well as the guest suites. The suites are comfortably elegant with varying views… from the large French windows that opened completely, I had a beautiful view of Gran Via, flanked by a window box of colorful flowers. The bath was quite large with an oversized walk-in shower that I appreciated.

El Palace has several great dining venues, but a highlight was a first-night anniversary celebration for my sis and hubby on a most spectacular rooftop, where tasty tapas and more delighted our palates! To relax there is also a roof top pool, but I was sure to go to the spa for an amazing facial.

We stayed at the Hotel El Palace during the second part of our trip to Spain. The first leg of our trip was in Mallorca, and we stayed at a modern style resort. Upon entering the El Palace, I could tell it was exactly what I was hoping for. Regal and classic. The room was a nice size and had a lot of character. Our view was of the city which was nice to see the architecture and people moving about. The bathroom had been updated and I always a appreciate a hotel that has a separate space for the toilet with a door to provide privacy while also allowing others to use the sinks or showers.

The location was perfect and we walked almost everywhere, except when our child got too tired at night.

The pool was great and had amazing views of the city as it was on the rooftop. My only complaint was the outrageous price of drinks at the roof top bar. We had been surprised at how affordable Barcelona was for many things including food and drink, so the drink cost caught us off guard.

The most impressive part by far in terms of this hotel was it's staff. You can tell that customer services is a priority for them. We didn't require much (ironing board one night, and ordered room service the next) but any questions or requests we had were met with genuine responses and help. I think we can all tell when customer service is an expectation, but the individual themselves is not truly invested in exemplifying that. This couldn't be further from the truth here. The authentic offers to help, or just a good morning or good evening, left a lasting impression on us. We absolutely hope to return!

We stayed at El Palace for 3 nights and having had high hopes, our stay and the hotel was everything we expected. The lobby in particular was breathtaking, with a very opulent, old-world feel (you can see this used to be the Ritz).

We found the reception on the small side, and tucked away into a small side room near the entrance, but it became apparent that anything else would have unjustly taken away from the lobby and that would have been a shame.

We had a classic room (116) which had a long hall, a decent size bathroom with shower and bathtub and his/hers sinks, and a decent sized bedroom, with a mirror TV.

The negatives we found were:

- the towel rack which looked like it should be heated, did not work, and seemed more for decorative purposes. We called and raised it to housekeeping but they shrugged their shoulders.
- there was no mirror in our room except the mirror above the sink in the bathroom & the TV mirror = no floor to ceiling mirrors anywhere which we found strange.
- there was no coffee machine by default in the room (we had to ask for one and were quickly brought one up)
- the balcony doors were quite shabby and did not close properly. They were not fully soundproof, and being on the 1st floor, it was quite loud during the night.

The breakfast was delicious, with sufficient options and quality, in a wonderful covered interior garden, however we found it just a touch on the pricey side (we did not have it included in our room and just tried it on one occasion).

The hotel location was suitable, and within walking distance of the main attractions and shops. Staff were warm and friendly.

Unfortunately, whilst it was warm and sunny during our stay, it was also incredibly windy, so we did not make use of the rooftop bar, but we will be back to stay here shortly, and look forward to trying it then.

Lovely classic hotel in an amazing hotel. The rooms are very spacious and fitted with all the modern touches with a classic twist (the classic antique looking mirror is the TV, the minibar is hidden behind a painting).

The rooftop has excellent views of the city, the breakfast is lovely and the people working there are amazing. I was touched that I got a slice of cake and a nice note sent up to my room because it was my birthday. They sent it a day early because I was checking out the following day!

The gym is very basic with only a view treadmills and an eclipse machine but guests can use the gym across the street for an extra charge of €10…will definitley stay there again!

The consierge service really went out of their way to help with all our reservations

Beautiful hotel with great amenities! Feels classic and grand in every way. The rooftop pool and lounge area is gorgeous on its own, but I love that they incorporated a Swiss chalet theme for the winter. Very cozy and relaxing after a long day of sightseeing. Speaking of, hotel location is excellent. Close to multiple metro stops but we mostly walked everywhere. The best part of all, however, was the staff. Housekeeping is outstanding - our room was immaculate every day and they were incredibly responsive when we called with requests. Everyone we encountered was warm, helpful, and treated our family, especially the kids, with true kindness and hospitality! Especially the bartenders, who gave our kids some impromptu mocktail making lessons :) Thank you for making our visit so memorable!
