Hotel Medinaceli New Reopening 2025 - A restored 19th-century ducal palace in Gothic Quarter with soundproofed rooms and historic architecture

Located in a neoclassical palace that once belonged to the Dukes of Medinaceli, this 4-star Barcelona hotel features 78 soundproofed rooms with streaming-enabled flat-screen TVs and city views. Hotel Medinaceli maintains its original stone walls and Gothic architectural elements, including a soaring light-filled atrium with a suspension staircase. Each room comes equipped with air conditioning, a safe deposit box, an electric kettle, and private bathrooms with walk-in showers. The Gothic Quarter location places guests within walking distance of major attractions - Guell Palace is 0.5 miles away, while the Picasso Museum and Aquarium Barcelona are both within 0.5 miles. The Medinaceli stands next to Las Ramblas and the seafront, with the trendy El Born district and Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar accessible via a 10-minute walk. The Drassanes Metro station sits steps away, while multiple dining options like Cecconi's and Bodega Biarritz are within 0.3 miles.
