Champagne, chocolate and a 19th-century palacete in the heart of the Eixample
Some dates deserve more than a dinner, a gift or a bouquet of flowers. An anniversary, a honeymoon, a recent “I do”, or simply the wish to give yourselves some time together as a couple: for all these occasions, we’ve prepared an experience designed down to the last detail at the Continental Palacete, housed in a stately late-19th-century building right on Rambla de Catalunya, the most elegant avenue in Barcelona’s Eixample.
A palacete with soul, made for two
The Hotel Continental Palacete preserves the elegance of the Versailles-style palacetes of France, evoking another era: high coffered ceilings, original mouldings, furniture and lamps from the family legacy, and that unhurried atmosphere only buildings with history can offer. It’s the perfect setting to step away from the daily rhythm and reconnect, just steps from Passeig de Gràcia, home to the city’s most iconic luxury boutiques as well as some of Catalan modernism’s finest jewels: Casa Batlló, Casa Ametller and La Pedrera.
By booking our Romantic Getaway directly through our website here, we take care of preparing the room with details designed to surprise you: special decoration, a welcome glass of champagne and delicious chocolates to celebrate your arrival. Small gestures that make the difference between a stay and a memory to treasure.
The Versailles Suite: golden-age splendour within reach
For those who want to take the getaway one step further, our Versailles Suite is the perfect choice. Its coffered ceilings with original paintings, chandeliers and carved marble fireplaces preserve the splendour of the days when this palacete was a family mansion, while the large windows open onto Rambla de Catalunya, in the heart of the Quadrat d’Or. The bathroom, entirely in white marble with gold fittings, and the handcrafted furniture invite a rest worthy of another era. Book the Versailles Suite and feel, for a few days, like true royalty of a golden age.
What the experience includes:
- Welcome bottle of champagne
- Room set with romantic decoration and chocolates
- Buffet breakfast included
- Free access, 24 hours a day, to our savoury, sweet and drinks buffet
- Room upgrade and late check-out, subject to availability
A buffet open day and night
One of the touches our guests love most is the savoury, sweet and drinks buffet, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Coming back from an evening stroll through the Eixample to find something sweet waiting, or enjoying a treat mid-afternoon without watching the clock, is part of the freedom we want to offer those who choose the Continental Palacete for their romantic getaway.
Barcelona, witness to great moments
From the Palacete, Passeig de Gràcia and its modernist buildings are a short walk away, as are the charming terraces and corners of the Eixample. A dinner with a view, an evening stroll, or simply staying in and enjoying the quiet of the palacete: every couple finds their own way to experience Barcelona.
Eight generations, caring for every detail
We’ve spent eight generations dedicated to hospitality in Barcelona, and we know that important dates deserve special care. That’s why we take care of every detail of this getaway, from the welcome to the final toast, so all you have to do is enjoy each other’s company.
