Hotel Description

Its location, near the Plaza Catalunya the commercial centre of Barcelona, makes the hotel Granvia an excellent place for business travellers and holidaymakers. Hotel Granvia is an 19th century neo-classical palace where old glory and modern comfort are combined in the centre of Barcelona. We have familiar and comfortable rooms, an ample terrace of 500 meters and parking facilities.

The GranvÃa Hotel building was built in 1870 by master architect JerÃ³nimo Gralls, and was originally designed as a palace for the Serra-Chopitea family. In 1935, it was converted into a hotel. Today it is still home to important 19th century works of art previously owned by DoÃ±a Dorotea Chopitea, a patron of Salesian works in Barcelona. Among the sites that have been maintained are the SalÃ³n Gran VÃa, the SalÃ³n Don Bosco, la Capilla, the room of DoÃ±a Dorotea and the entire Principal Gallery, with its arcades and columns. Its beautiful, original walls have appeared in numerous films, and have been the focus of countless reports, interviews and official presentations. Located in the city centre, the hotel is right beside Plaza Catalunya and Paseo de Gracia, two of the major architectural landmarks of the city. Famous and original structures such as the Pedrera, Casa BatllÃ³, Palau Robert, Casa Fargas and Casa Ametller all stand majestically along this distinguished avenue. The privileged location of the GranvÃa Hotel allows its guests to get around the city easily on public transport. Buses, metro, regional trains, night buses, tour buses, and taxi stands are all easily accessible from the hotel. Discover the feeling of living in another age, and with the pleasure and comfort of professional services in this historic palace-hotel.
