Hotel Astoria

L'Eixample


A short walk from Passeig de Gràcia, this three-star hotel is well placed for long nights out in the restaurants, bars and clubs of adjacent Carrer d’Aribau. Categories and decor vary wildly across the 117 rooms. The hotel has its own mini gym, rooftop pool and a display of art by Catalan illustrator Ricard Opisso (1880–1966).
