Gran Hotel La Florida Barcelona | Barcelona, Spain

​​Soak up northern Spain's distinct Catalan culture while reveling in spectacular views overlooking Barcelona and the Mediterranean at the Gran Hotel La Florida.

Built in 1925, this landmark hotel was a 1950s home away from home for such luminaries as Ernest Hemingway, Rock Hudson, and James Stewart. Completely restored to its original glory in 2005, the Gran Hotel La Florida is today the ultimate in old-time European luxury.

Throw open your curtains to reveal spectacular views of Barcelona below and the Pyrenees beyond. Or enjoy the hilltop vista from the privacy of your spacious outdoor terrace, complete with sumptuous sun beds and your own jacuzzi.

It would be unheard of to visit this ultra-chic city without browsing the fashion boutiques of Barcelona's famous Passeig de Gràcia, lined with opulent nineteenth century landmarks butting up alongside ultra-modern buildings by celebrated local architect, Antonio Gaudi.

After strolling Barcelona's storied streets, return to the Gran Hotel La Florida for a feast of local Catalan cuisine, followed by a romantic nightcap at the Miramar bar overlooking the twinkling lights of Barcelona.
