Modernist landmark on Las Ramblas

First opened in 1859, Hotel Espana Ocean Drive sits right beside the Gran Teatre del Liceu, on the stretch of Las Ramblas where the Gothic Quarter's narrow lanes spill out into La Boqueria Market. The cathedral quarter is a two-minute walk away. And you're close enough to the port to catch the sea breeze.

Fonda España is the signature restaurant – led by renowned chef MartÌn Berasategui, under the direction of Executive Chef Edu Rodas. This talented team specialise in cooking ingredient-led dishes that take Catalan produce seriously. Upstairs, Dorita Cocktail Bar serves crafted drinks in a space that gets more atmospheric as the night goes on.
