Duquesa de Cardona

Although the hotel is close to all the important attractions of Barcelona, it doesn’t feel like a city centre hotel due to its proximity to the waterfront. On one side is the city, but on the other there is the crystal-clear light of the Mediterranean. From the rooftop terrace and many of the rooms there are magnificent panoramic views from Montjuich Park, down past the Christopher Columbus monument to the Olympic Marina.

Duquesa De Cardona is blessed with magnificent public rooms, but its unique feature is the rooftop swimming pool and terrace

All of the rooms are spacious and elegantly equipped to four star standards. The exterior rooms face out to sea or onto the Calle Mercé which was the original principal façade of the building. Other rooms face into the inner court, ideal for those who wish to be isolated from the sounds of the city. The Deluxe rooms and one of the Junior Suites have fabulous views over the harbour and marina. One floor is completely given over to non-smoking rooms, and there are rooms specially adapted for disabled guests.

A short walk up the Ramblas brings many of Barcelona’s best sights within easy range, and the excellent metro system makes the remainder readily accessible too.

Meals

The elegant restaurant is a room with towering arches and high ceilings, yet surprisingly intimate. Alternatively, choose the restaurant terrace with spectacular views of the city and harbour. The cuisine is based on the Mediterranean principles of fresh ingredients and healthy preparation.

Generous buffet breakfasts are served in the restaurant, with a choice of cooked dishes too.
