Description:
Discover Roman era in Barcelona at the Catalonia Magdalenes Hotel in the city’s centrally located Gothic Quarter, between Portal de l’Àngel and Vía Laietana and just a few metres from Las Ramblas and Plaza Catalunya. You will love the boutique design and beautiful room décor.
Soak up the views of the Cathedral and downtown BCN from our designer rooftop, with a stunning glass pool, sun deck and bar service in summer. Relax after a long day at our spa or keep in shape at the gym while you enjoy the free wifi connection throughout the hotel.
At the Catalonia Magdalenes Hotel it is possible to discover the Roman Barcelona, since in the hall you can see three original pieces of the city’s ancient Roman aqueduct on display. This is because it is located in an area where there are still many vestiges of the old Barcino. In fact, in the nearby Plaça Vuit de Març you will be able to see the arcades of the aqueduct, built during the 1st century BC, when the city was founded. This provided it with water, whose origin was the sources of Montcada, a few kilometers away.
Once you have admired the pieces of the aqueduct, you will be fascinated by the boutique-style design of the Catalonia Magdalenes Hotel, from the common areas, such as the interior patio with hanging bulb lamps, to the rooms, whose decoration we have taken care of down to the last detail.
Every morning, the hotel’s modern restaurant will welcome you with our spectacular breakfast buffet. Ask for eggs any way you like in the show cooking section, taste typical Catalan sausages or opt for organic yogurt and cereals, among a wide variety of options. At lunch or dinner, stay at the Gastrobar, which offers a menu with international and Mediterranean dishes and tapas. If you prefer, our room service will bring the dishes to your room, with sushi options and more.
In summer, don’t miss the incredible views over the center of Barcelona on the terrace on the top floor of the hotel. An avant-garde rooftop ideal for having a classic cocktail or letting yourself be surprised by our bartenders while admiring the cathedral and the city center. In addition, the terrace of the Catalonia Magdalenes hotel has a glass-enclosed pool where you can enjoy a swim on the warmest days and a solarium with sun loungers and Balinese beds to get a tan.
If you want to pamper yourself and escape the urban hustle and bustle, let yourself be pampered in our spa with a relaxing massage or enjoy the jacuzzi and Turkish bath. In the hotel facilities you will also find a fitness room where you can practice sports during your stay.
The essence of the Barri Gòtic permeates the Catalonia Magdalenes, since it is located between the commercial area of Portal de l’Àngel and Via Laietana, a few meters from the Cathedral and very close to Las Ramblas and Plaza Catalunya. In addition to visiting Roman Barcelona, with the old aqueduct and wall, you cannot miss essential places such as the Palau de la Música, the Gran Teatre del Liceu, the busy Plaça Reial or the Mercat de la Boqueria.
