Review Avenida Palace Hotel Barcelona

Reservation Information For The Avenida Palace Hotel

Located in an up-market area of town, just a few steps from Passeig de Gracia is the Avenida Palace Hotel Barcelona, the hotel the Beatles stayed at during their only concert in Barcelona in 1965.

This hotel rightly has the word "palace" in its name for when entering the lobby you are greeted by the sight of marble, chandeliers, gold staircases, classically upholstered furniture and yet more marble.  It’s like a Russian millionaire’s home it’s so ornate and shiny!

Hotel Location and Facilities

The Avenida Palace Hotel occupies a privileged location on wide, leafy Gran Via right between the popular Rambla de Catalunya and the shopping heaven of Passeig de Gracia.  Passeig de Gracia is also where two of Gaudi´s famous architectural masterpieces stand.  The hotel is next to the cinema and the Passeig de Gracia metro station is right outside the hotel.  There are many nearby cash points on Passeig de Gracia, which doesn’t help with the temptation of so many high-class shops.  Placa Catalunya and Las Ramblas are less than a 10 minute walk away.  On Placa Catalunya you will find Corte Ingles a comprehensive department store and supermarket, and FNAC which sells English papers and magazines.
