"Fabulous Hotel Palace Barcelona!" I just returned as a solo traveler to Barcelona and stayed at the Hotel Palace in early April 2007. After much research, I was delighted with my choice and would stay at this property again. The service was amazing...all employees pleasant and eager to make your stay most comfortable. I decided on the breaksfast plan which was well worth the cost. A full and fresh breakfast offered in an elegant dining room. The room was beautiful! It was large and very comfortable. The maid service was excellent....very clean room and bathroom with service twice a day. After my arrival, a staff member arrived with a bottle of wine and chocolates. I felt very safe in this hotel. The lobby was wonderful and very inviting to sit and read and to enjoy social moments. It was centrally located to all the famous sights of Barcelona. I can honestly say, there was not one issue or slight complaint I had with this hotel. A perfect holiday in Barcelona at the Hotel Palace!!

"Very grand, impressive hotel" We have just returned from a long weekend in Barcelona. We were booked into the Husa Oriente but less than 24 hours before were informed that our hotel had technical problems and we had to be relocated. They had moved us to the Palace Hotel, formerly the Ritz. There were eight in our party, including 4 teenage children, split into 4 rooms. Although the change was a little worrying we were pleasantly surprised. The Palace is a very grand hotel, the rooms are enormous, 2 spacious bathrooms with seperate w.c. per bathroom, good showers, very good maid service. The reception staff were very helpful, arranging taxis, recommending restaurants, giving directions etc. The hotel has a lot of history (read the book in the room), in the middle of a busy old city, it is not a modern Las Vegas hotel so don't go there if that is what you are looking for in a hotel. Use the metro, easy to get to, cheap to use, don't use the turistic bus on a Sunday - too many queues. Highly recommended for a city break.

"Enjoyed our stay" This is a beautiful older hotel, well maintained, newly renovated, with outstanding details like bronze statues antiques in the rooms, and a fireplace, and it also has the most spectacular breakfast room. This website has not listed the many references for this hotel for some reason and most will refer to the high prices. We obtained a very competitive rate at the Hotel Ritz website and it included the wonderful breakfast. Perhaps if you book far enough in advance as we did, the rates are better. Our room was upgraded at arrival to one with a roman bath and it was wonderful. We could not have been more pleased with the staff, the room, and the location.

"Old World Charm" From the moment I arrived, I knew I was in for a treat. The Ritz is a classic, old world hotel and has all the charm one would expect from a Ritz hotel. The keys come with a large tassle--and the Junior Suite was delightful with two full bathrooms and a confortable bed. The Courtyard did not provide a view--but it was very quiet. The Restaurant for dinner was outstanding--and while expensive--provided a memorable experience. Breakfast in Diana's Garden was most pleasant as well. The hotel has a superb location, just a few blocks from the upscale shopping area.
