Inaugurated by the King and Queen in 1992, shortly before the Olympic Games, the hotel Rey Juan CarlosI is a faithful exponent el the "new frontier" of the hotel sector in Barcelona. Of spectacular and daring design, the hotel balances the beauty and elegance of such classic and noble materials as marble and wood with the sobriety and strength of concrete, steel, and glass.
The panoramic lifts, which rise along the walls of the lobby, become privileged viewing sites above such a monumental space, offering a perspective both unusual and bold.
The hotel has 375 comfortable rooms and 37 luxurious suites, excellently decorated and exquisitely furnished with designer pieces. Outstanding among them are the Royal Suite and the Presidential Suite, which have besides the incentive of being sentinels above the city.
Its cuisine is another of the hotel's principal assets. International haute cuisine and regional specialities can be enjoyed in the select restaurant Chez Vous. The Café Polo offers a wide range of options in its splendid, attractive buffets, with a more relaxed and informal atmosphere. In the summer months, the gastronomic showplaces are moved to the garden, and The Garden restaurant becomes the main point of reference.
Expressly conceived and outfitted to accommodate congresses, conventions, conferences, and all types of social activities, the Hotel Rey Juan Carlos I is perfectly equipped, offering a broad range of salons and assembly rooms, the most outstanding of which is the Mare Nostrum, with a capacity for 1,000 persons. The Health Club, the shopping area, and all the services proper to a hotel of this category complete its diversified, select offer.
