| The Granvía Hotel building was built in 1870 by master architect Jerónimo Gralls, and was originally designed as a palace for the Serra-Chopitea family. In 1935, it was converted into a hotel. Today it is still home to important 19th century works of art previously owned by Doña Dorotea Chopitea, a patron of Salesian works in Barcelona. Among the sites that have been maintained are the Salón Gran Vía, the Salón Don Bosco, la Capilla, the room of Doña Dorotea and the entire Principal Gallery, with its arcades and columns. Its beautiful, original walls have appeared in numerous films, and have been the focus of countless reports, interviews and official presentations. Located in the city centre, the hotel is right beside Plaza Catalunya and Paseo de Gracia, two of the major architectural landmarks of the city. Famous and original structures such as the Pedrera, Casa Batlló, Palau Robert, Casa Fargas and Casa Ametller all stand majestically along this distinguished avenue. The privileged location of the Granvía Hotel allows its guests to get around the city easily on public transport. Buses, metro, regional trains, night buses, tour buses, and taxi stands are all easily accessible from the hotel. Discover the feeling of living in another age, and with the pleasure and comfort of professional services in this historic palace-hotel. |
