information
Built in 1899 by the architect Emilio Salas y Cortes, whose most famous
pupil was Antonio Gaudí, the building of the Catalonia Duques
de Bergara is exemplary of Art Nouveau architecture.
The most significant original features from its period have been restored and preserved, including the façade with its wide windows, and its interiors, like the marble staircase leading to the first floor, where you find magnificent Cuban mahogany doors, painted ceilings and a dome.
The hotel offers complete facilities including a swimming pool, located in a pleasant patio, typical of the Ensanche area in Barcelona, and 7 conference rooms fully equipped for any kind of event.
Renovated to be used as a hotel in 1988, and expanded a few years later, Catalonia Duques de Bergara has 148 light rooms, with parquet floors and contemporary wooden furniture.
Some of the rooms have a balcony.
The hotel could not be more centrally located in the heart of Barcelona. Just a stones throw from the hotel, guests have a wide range of activities to choose from, two are recommended in particular:
Take advantage of the great shopping Barcelona offers in the many shops and shopping centres or take a stroll along the Ramblas down to the Columbus monument.
If you have more spare time, you could visit Barcelona's Gothic quarter. Try not to miss the Cathedral, which was finished at the beginning of the 20th century, or the Plaça del Rei, an impressive square admired by the architect Le Corbusier and the sculptor Eduardo Chillida ideal to sit out in and enjoy a drink and some 'tapas'.
