With over a century of history, the hotel combines tradition and modernity, offering a unique experience for discerning travelers. Ingrid Lasheras, Director of Leisure and Corporate Sales, guides us through the details that make the Majestic one of the most exclusive destinations in the city.
History and Exclusivity
Since its founding in 1918, the Majestic Hotel & Spa has belonged to the Soldevila-Casals family, which, over three generations, has maintained its essence of luxury and impeccable hospitality.
“The Majestic is a traditional hotel, but it is always reinventing itself. We maintain our classic identity, but we constantly seek to modernize our spaces to offer the best service,” explains Ingrid Lasheras.
One of the hotel’s highlights is the Royal Penthouse, the largest suite in Barcelona, measuring an impressive 467 m² and including a private terrace with panoramic views of the city. The Majestic also houses valuable works of art, many of which are gifts from artists who have stayed at the hotel.
Distinguished Guests and the Luxury Experience
With its privileged location and high-standard services, the Majestic welcomes personalities from all over the world, including politicians, artists, football players and businessmen.
“We have many guests who return to the hotel every time they visit Barcelona. Our team personalizes every detail of the stay, from choosing the room to special services for celebrations,” says Lasheras.
The hotel offers 256 rooms, including luxury suites and exclusive categories, as well as 28 residential apartments in the Majestic Residences, and two duplexes, ideal for families seeking comfort and privacy.
Award-Winning Cuisine
The Majestic's gastronomic excellence is one of the hotel's greatest attractions, with spaces that highlight local and international cuisine:
SOLC: Restaurant focused on seasonal and high-quality ingredients, recognized by the award for “Best Luxury Hotel Brunch 2023” at the Beyond Luxury Awards.
Majestic Bar: An elegant space that combines cocktail classics with innovative creations by consultant chef Nandu Jubany. The space also features live piano performances, creating a sophisticated atmosphere.
Sweet Majestic – Pastry Corner: A confectionery paradise, where pastry chef Marc Pérez creates seasonal sweets inspired by Catalan traditions.
At the top of the hotel, the Majestic Roof Top Bar offers a unique experience, combining sophisticated cocktails and stunning views of the city.
For those seeking relaxation and leisure, the Majestic Spa offers exclusive treatments and a jacuzzi with panoramic views of Barcelona.
International Recognition
The Majestic’s prestige has been reaffirmed by being voted Barcelona’s No. 1 Hotel for the second consecutive year by the Barcelona Hotels Association. The hotel has also been awarded the title of “Cultural Hotel” in recognition of its contribution to preserving the city’s artistic and historical heritage.
With a discerning international clientele that includes visitors from the United States and Saudi Arabia, followed by other international guests from Mexico and Brazil, the Majestic remains the ideal choice for those seeking an authentic and luxurious experience in Barcelona. And the hotel is also often enjoyed by locals, whether for day use or coworking.
“Our aim is always to provide guests with an unforgettable stay, combining tradition, sophistication and the best of Catalan culture,” concludes Ingrid Lasheras.
Whether you want to stay exclusively or enjoy the hotel's services without being a guest, the Majestic Hotel & Spa Barcelona remains the ultimate destination for those who want to experience the best of the city.
