Catalonia Catedral Hotel
If you cross Portal de l’Àngel, you can’t help but notice the striking salmon-coloured facade of the Catalonia Catedral hotel. So why not stay at this historic building with a personality all of its own? Located at the start of the Gothic Quarter, next to Barcelona Cathedral, you will love the modern lobby and inner courtyard with painted murals of a Gothic church. On the rooftop there is a pool, a sun deck and amazing views of the Cathedral.
Start your day with a complete breakfast buffet, and when you feel like it, take a break with a glass of wine or a cocktail at the Gastrobar. Additionally, at the Ascent restaurant, you can admire views of the Palau Pignatelli while enjoying our gastronomic offer based on Mediterranean cuisine, with charcoal oven-baked rice dishes taking center stage.
Opened at the end of 2009, the Catalonia Catedral hotel is located just a few steps from the impressive Gothic-style Barcelona Cathedral dedicated to Saint Eulalia, patron saint of the city. Upon arrival, you will be dazzled by the hotel's façade, which occupies a historic building built in 1910. In a reddish salmon tone, this façade is a sample of the Viennese Secessionist current in Barcelona. An artistic and architectural movement that is included within modernism and is characterized by the search for balance and the geometrization of forms. As you will see, the balconies have railings with abstract plant motifs that contrast with the sobriety of the façade.
When you enter the hotel, you will be surprised by the atmosphere of calm and comfort that reigns inside in contrast to the bustle of its central location. After the reception, you will arrive at the interior patio decorated with an incredible mural that represents a Gothic church, including the stained glass windows and the rose window. Head up from the inner courtyard to the first floor, where a grand dining experience awaits you at the Ascent Restaurant.
Awaken your senses with the Ascent's Mediterranean cuisine, whose protagonists are undoubtedly the grilled rice dishes, although you can't miss the meat and fish cooked in the Josper oven either. French chef Renan Mahe adds his personal touch to the seasonal menu with top quality products. In addition, you can admire the views of the Portal de l'Àngel and the Palau Pignatelli while you enjoy your lunch or dinner, or relax on the interior terrace with a Japanese-inspired garden and smoking area. You can also reserve the Ascent restaurant for your private celebrations or our Arcs room, ideal for corporate meetings, fully equipped and with capacity for 20 people.
Go up to the roof of the hotel, with unbeatable views of the cathedral and Ciutat Vella, a rooftop finished in wood with a pool where you can cool off and a solarium to enjoy the pleasant temperatures of Barcelona while you connect to the free Wi-Fi.
The Catalonia Catedral hotel enjoys an unbeatable location in the heart of Barcelona, between Plaza Catalunya and the Cathedral, next to the Barri Gòtic and close to the famous Ramblas. A few steps away you will find the mythical restaurant Els 4Gats, did you know that it was the intellectual nucleus of the Catalan modernist movement? Ramon Casas, Santiago Rusiñol, Picasso and many other artists gathered in this Art Nouveau-style venue that at the time emulated the bohemian atmosphere of Paris.
Stay at our hotel and you will be one step away from the Mercat de la Boquería and the Teatre del Liceu, among many other places of tourist interest such as Plaça del Rei, Barcelona City Hall or Plaça Reial, which has live music bars . If you want to go shopping, your place is Portal de l'Àngel, a pedestrian street full of shops and Portaferrissa street, which in its medieval origins was a gateway to the city.
