Although on the bigger side at 276 rooms, we cannot ignore the opulence of the Majestic Hotel & Spa in Barcelona. The location, for starters, is unbeatable with high-end shops in every direction, as well as walkable landmarks nearby (lots of Gaudi!). Rooms have recently been given a nice modern facelift, with fresh whites and neutral colors and are accented by marble bathrooms. We recommend taking some time at the hotel to checkout the small rooftop pool, a nice place to relax and soak in stunning views of this gorgeous city (if the pool is too busy, there is a terrace and bar up here as well!). Be sure to reserve time as well to enjoy the hotel’s award-winning spa! A fitness center is also available on-site.
