Majestic Hotel & Spa

Hotel Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain

9 /10 Telegraph expert rating

The Majestic has long been a place in which locals take pride (and will come to dine or drink). It's grand in the old sense, but kitted out with every modern facility. It has worked hard of late to shake off fusty image it has had for decades, with a brighter dining experience and DJs mixing on the rooftop sun deck. Read expert review
