In October of 1919, Barcelona officially had its first 5 Star Grand Luxe Hotel, the Hotel Palace. The history of the Hotel Palace has gone hand-in-hand with the most notable events in Barcelona during the past century, so much so that the articles have been written about it. In a more a less direct way, the Hotel has taken part in the majority of the great events that the City has lived through and has also welcomed renowned celebrities who have passed through Barcelona.

As one can imagine, a list of personalities from politics, culture, the arts, finance and industry, for instance, The Duke of Windsor, Arthur Rubenstein, Sophia Loren, Ava Gardner, Salvador Dali, Xavier Cugat, Woody Allen, Claudia Schiffer, Noemi Campell, Elle Mcpherson.

The Hotel Palace was, for many years, the Center of social life in the City.
