Hotel España by Ocean Drive

Located next to the Gran Teatre del Liceu, right on Barcelona's Rambla and just a few steps from the iconic La Boquería Market, Hotel España stands out as a true gem of Catalan Modernism. Opened in 1859 as the historic Fonda España, the building was transformed in the early 20th century by renowned architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner,.
