The last of my two nights in Barcelona was something of a stylishly sumptuous spree with an exquisitely comfortable sleepover at the aptly named Hotel Majestic.
If you’re keen to hold convenient court in Barcelona’s elegant and central Eixample district (yet never realise it as long as the door to your room’s terrace is kept shut to not allow even a decibel of noise to seep in from the streets), then this five star hotel’s location is for you. Within easy reach of Las Ramblas; loads of upscale shops; Gaudi’s Casa Batlló, La Pedrera (Casa Milà) and Sagrada Familia; and the Barri Gòtic, it’s a fine location for sightseeing. The hotel is also only a minute’s stroll from Passeig de Gràcia station, where you can hope a train to the airport and be there in about a half hour.
During your stay at the Majestic, by all means take the hotel up on any offer for breakfast. Sumptuous, tremendous and that’s just the selection of traditional Spanish and Catalan charcuterie! Chef Nandu Jubany’s “Majestic Breakfast Experience” buffet was such a treat. Presenting a lavish spread of whatever you might crave for your morning meal alongside a best-of array Spanish and Mediterranean produce and gorgeous tapas (not to mention unlimited bubbly), it was an absolute treat. And when you’re there enjoying your gorgeous breakfast bonanza but slightly overwhelmed by the quality and sheer quantity of the food, just make sure you try the tortilla! The Majestic’s was the best I’d ever had … that wasn’t homemade by a friend.
Service was utterly gracious and prompt throughout the hotel. The lobby (especially while the pianist was playing) was a lovely setting to relax. My Deluxe City View room was perfectly suited to all my needs with free WiFi, Nespresso coffeemaker, marble bathroom with toiletries by Bulgari, and all sorts of extra treats and amenities to have me wishing I could have extended my visit for even one more night but preferable a more sizeable stretch of time.
Hotel Majestic is located at Passeig de Gràcia, 68-70, 08007. Find out more at hotelmajestic.es.
