The neighborhood
Passeig de Gràcia & Eixample
Cerdà's grid and Passeig de Gràcia, the avenue that runs through it – home to three of the five hotels. The grid spreads north of Plaça de Catalunya; Casa Batlló and La Pedrera stand among the shops of Passeig de Gràcia, with the cafés of Rambla de Catalunya a street over. Gran Via crosses at the foot of the avenue, and the Sagrada Família lies further into the grid to the east.
- Passeig de Gràcia and Casa Batlló, a few minutes' walk west.
- Plaça de Catalunya and the Rambla, a short walk south-west.
- The Eixample grid and its Modernista façades, all around.
“Barcelona's Ritz of 1919 on Gran Via, independent to this day – Roman baths in its historic suites and a garden on the roof.”
