5* sophisticated Barcelona stay at a hilltop hotel

Gran Hotel La Florida, Spain

Time-limited

Property details

A sophisticated five-star stay on the edge of Barcelona, with a hilltop location, L'Occitane spa and city views, including breakfast and one-time spa access
  • A great location in a thriving city: It’s quite possible that as a city, Barcelona has it all. Art, culture, food and the combination of mountains and coastline make it a destination not to be missed. Gran Hotel La Florida sits at the very peak of Tibidabo, boasting an ultra-secluded location with views that pore down over the streets of Catalonia’s chic capital.

  • History meets modern design: The emblematic building has almost a hundred years of history within its walls and stories to tell of guests including Hemingway, James Stewart and Princess Fabiola. Meticulously redesigned over four years, the hotel features wrought iron elements, antique tapestries and glass that draws in streams of the natural sunlight that beams almost all year round.

  • Wellness at its best: The Spa by L'Occitane en Provence instills an almost hypnotic state of calm, with its simple, sleek design, soft lighting and personalised treatments. The highlight of the spa’s facilities however is the 37-metre indoor and outdoor stainless steel swimming pool (heated in winter), with its outdoor poolside bar, sun decks and sunbeds on the garden terraces.

How to get there

Gran Hotel La Florida is located on the outskirts of Barcelona's centre, 50 minutes on public transport from Barcelona-Sants railway station. Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airportis an hour and 20 minutes away on public transport, or a 35-minute drive.
