Set in a beautifully restored former 19th-century palace just off Barcelona’s prestigious Passeig de Gràcia Boulevard, the Claris Hotel and Spa CL is a luxury hotel that combines the rich history of the building with contemporary features and boasts a unique collection of over 400 original pieces of art, giving it a Specialty Monument status.

The hotel features smart, soundproofed guest rooms with stylish décor and custom-made furniture, en-suite bathrooms, and modern amenities such as air-conditioning, flat-screen satellite televisions, minibars, and wireless Internet access. An elegant restaurant offers traditional Mediterranean fare in a stylish setting on the roof terrace against a backdrop of panoramic views of the Eixample quarter, and the more casual Mr. Kao Restaurant offers classic Chinese cuisine. The Claris Hotel & Spa GL is within walking distance of Gaudí’s Casa Batlló and La Pedrera, and guests of the hotel enjoy free entry to the Barcelona Egyptian Museum, which is located next door.
