Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 21 October 2026 · How we review hotels
This renovated hotel is best for guests wanting a peaceful retreat with panoramic Montjuïc Hill and sea views. The property features peaceful gardens, an outdoor pool, and an impeccably preserved 1929 palace facade. However, it is located away from the bustling city centre, and daily fees apply for private parking.
Guests score it 8.6 out of 10 — the average across the 17 hotels we list in Barcelona is 8.9.
- Situated high on Montjuïc, the property provides sweeping vistas of both the Barcelona skyline and the Balearic Sea. Guests can enjoy these panoramas from the landscaped terraces and select guest rooms.
- Originally built for the 1929 International Exposition, the neoclassical facade hides a thoroughly modernized interior. This juxtaposition of historic grandeur and contemporary design creates a sophisticated atmosphere.
- The hillside location offers peace but requires a short taxi ride or a walk to reach the Gothic Quarter. However, the nearby funicular and cable car offer scenic transit options.
- On-site private parking is convenient for those driving, but it comes with a daily surcharge. Guests may want to factor this extra cost into their travel budget.
