Stroll around the hotel – or look at the careful detailing and décor of your suite – and you’ll feel the atmosphere of a bygone age; the energy of a bright new world of innovative fashion, youthfulness, music and dancing. And you’ll understand why the Grand Central has been so unfailingly appealing to the great travellers, avant-garde thinkers and aesthetically-aware visitors to Barcelona, down through the decades.

Stay: 3 nights at Gran Central Hotel in a standard double room
