The Astoria is a benchmark amongst high quality hotels in our city. After half a century at the service of our clients we still offer a recently renovated facility which respects the original stately spaces while providing state-of-the-art technology, thus enabling guests to enjoy modern-day comforts in a tried and true hotel.The hotel has 115 rooms, some of them suites and split-levels. They are equipped with direct line telephones, safety deposit boxes, mini-bars, TV with satellite channels, Canal Plus, fax and modem hook-ups, hair dryers and individually-controlled air conditioning units. On the eighth floor of the hotel, with magnificent views of the city, guests can make use of the gymnasium, sauna and an enticing terrace with a swimming pool and bar, where you can relax and savour a refreshing cocktail. Recently the hotel has opened a new exhibition with illustrations by the Catalan artist Ricard Opisso. This is a permanent exhibition that is held in the three main meeting rooms of the hotel. It has over 110 pieces that will add to the character to this unique and well established hotel of Barcelonas Eixample. Other services include meeting rooms, a laundry service and room service. Our guests can also come to relish a menu featuring traditional Catalan cuisine at the Astor bar and restaurant.The hotel is located just a stones throw from the citys most alluring shopping district: Diagonal avenue with its numerous fashion boutiques and design shops; Rambla Catalua, the preferred promenade of Barcelona residents; and Paseo de Gracia, where we can find two of Gauds masterpieces, La Pedrera and Casa Batll.
