Since its inauguration in 1973, the hotel Royal has been a symbol of Barcelona's hospitality. The building is situated right at the beginning of Las Ramblas and close to the Plaça Catalunya square, in the cultural, historical and commercial heart of the city. Therefore, it represents an ideal starting point for visiting the charming Barcelona. The property was renovated in 2004, to offer both the charme of classic and the comfort of modern hotels. Its public areas are perfectly equipped to offer a cosy, peaceful atmosphere.
