Review Gran Derby Hotel Barcelona
The motto of the Gran Derby hotel Barcelona is “Some Guests
will miss us at home” which should give an idea of the atmosphere
they have tried to create - one of tranquil, homely grandeur. And
they may have succeeded. The outside of the building is beautiful
and imposing and it is no different inside with its polished, striking
black and white chequered floor and the heavy quietness in the lobby.
This hotel is grand and intimidating for those not used to such
austerity.
Hotel Facilities
A really gorgeous part of the Gran Derby hotel Barcelona is the
outside enclosed garden where there is also a small pool. The hotel
has its own car park and there is a courtesy smart car, also dogs
are allowed in the building. There are three places where you could
eat in the hotel: The Epsom which is a top-class scotch bar by night,
and has Miro lithographs on its walls, or The Times café
which has produce fresh from the market, or the Gran Derby restaurant.
Also, staying at the hotel will give you free access to the nearby
Barcelona Egyptian museum. The Gran Derby also has a laundry and
ironing service.
Business Facilities
There is one large room available for functions, as well as the
garden terrace. The room can hold up to 150 people and has views

duplex junior suites which have totally separate areas so you could
hold small meeting in parts of your suite.

In a Nutshell
The Gran Derby Hotel Barcelona is an impressive and sophisticated
hotel in a quiet area of town. Good for those looking for a little
of out of the city centre luxury. The hotel has been designed for
comfort and peace but is probably more suitable for those on business
than pleasure.
