Catalonia El Pilar Hotel
Enjoy Zaragoza more than ever at the Catalonia El Pilar, five minutes on foot from the basilica of the same name. You will be perfectly located to walk to the main points of interest, such as calle El Tubo and La Seo cathedral, plus you will be staying in a typically Zaragozan-style Modernist building. The impressive walls will conquer you with their open and glazed balconies bursting with floral details in forged iron and stonework.
Choose one of our revamped premium rooms - you will love the thoroughly contemporary decoration. If you enjoy a good breakfast, don't miss the Catalonia El Pilar’s extensive buffet to get your day off to a flying start. Plus all sorts of different dishes and drinks are available any time of day in our Gastrobar. Got a work event coming up? We can help you organise it in our two event rooms and make it a success.
The location of the Catalonia El Pilar hotel is perfect if you want to visit Zaragoza and its historic center because it is in the very center, you can reach the Basilica del Pilar in just 4 minutes on foot. But you will not need to go far to admire what the Zaragoza tourism department calls a visit of tourist interest. We are talking about the building that the hotel itself occupies, built at the beginning of the 20th century according to the Zaragoza modernist architectural current.
You will be impressed by its three imposing facades, brick on the upper floors and stone on the lower part. The floral and plant-inspired decorations give it a unique character, reflected in the wrought iron on the balconies and the glazed viewpoints, as well as in the stone of the window frames. In addition, inside the hotel we keep a beautiful original elevator made of wood.
Whichever you choose, all our rooms have parquet floors and are equipped for the best stay in Zaragoza. The premium rooms have been recently renovated with a contemporary design that will not leave you indifferent. For their part, the superior rooms are the most spacious at the Catalonia El Pilar hotel, with sloping ceilings and a wood-lined dressing room.
Have a big breakfast every morning in our buffet restaurant where you will find options for all tastes. Hot dishes, freshly baked pastries, yoghurts, jams, cold meats, cheeses and our classic potato omelette with tomato bread. During the day, take a breather in our Gastrobar, whose menu includes international and Mediterranean dishes to recharge your batteries. You can also enjoy it in your room thanks to our room service.
If you feel like practicing sports, at our hotel we have a gym with cardio and weight-training machines so you can stay in shape while you travel. We also have free Wi-Fi in all our facilities.
Do you have to organize a work meeting in Zaragoza? At the Catalonia El Pilar hotel we make it easy for you thanks to our event rooms, the Monegros Room, which can accommodate up to 60 attendees, and the Goya Room, with capacity for 10 people. In both you can choose between our catering options for coffee breaks, cocktails or company lunches and dinners.
The city known as the capital of the Ebro has a lot to offer its visitors, a city full of history in whose old quarter our hotel is located. The Basilica of Nuestra Señora del Pilar is a must, as is the square it presides over, of the same name, where the Cathedral of El Salvador or La Seo is also located. All this less than 5 minutes walk from the hotel, from where we also recommend you to see the Central Market, the Town Hall and the Archbishop's Palace.
Also, don't miss the Roman vestiges of Zaragoza, such as the walls and the Roman forum, nucleus of the ancient city of Caesaraugusta. Another of the essential plans is to go out for tapas along the always lively El Tubo street, where you can take a tour of taverns, bars and wine bars to taste the best of local gastronomy.
