The Majestic Hotel & Spa in Barcelona lives up to its reputation. The hotel, which will celebrate its 105th anniversary in 2023, is a luxury hotel in every sense of the word. The neoclassical building is located on the famous Passeig de Gracia, the boulevard where such luxury boutiques as Chanel, Hermes, Burberry and Dior, are located. Enter the lobby and you will soon learn how attentive the professional staff is, from the porters to the bellman, concierge, guest relations, restaurant staff and spa staff. The ground floor features a lovely and expansive piano bar. The lower level is where you will find the fitness center (and where a new indoor swimming pool will be constructed in the next year or so). On the first floor, there is a beautiful restaurant which offers an extensive breakfast buffet every morning and farm-to-table dinners. The rooftop bar serves lunch and dinner and features extensive views of the city below, including a striking view of Gaudi's Sacrada Familia. There is also a plunge pool on the roof. Rooms are gracious with high ceilings. Bathrooms are clad in marble and most have whirlpool bathtubs. Suites are expansive, especially the ones on the ninth floor. Some suites feature terraces with hot tubs. If you are traveling with several children, you might want to inquire about the apartments in a building across the street. There are two and four bedroom units with kitchens and guests have access to all of the amenities of the hotel. I did not view these apartments but did see the exterior of the building, also located on the Passeig de Gracia. The spa is wonderful and has four treatment rooms. There is also a wet area with a large whirlpool, sauna and steam bath that can be privately booked by the hour. It is a luxurious experience to be sure! The spa offers facials and massages and the therapists are highly trained.
The only criticism I can offer about this lovely hotel is the check-in process, which was chaotic as there were many cruise ship passengers also checking in at the same time. Rooms are not available until after 3pm, which is normal, and the hotel will store bags if you arrive early. The check-out process was more streamlined and the process was much quicker. There are many sights to see within a short walk of the hotel, including the Gaudi-designed Casa Batlló, the expansive food market known as the Mercardo de La Boqueria and the medieval neighborhood known as the Barri Gotic. I highly recommend the Majestic Hotel.
