Rooftop Garden at El Palace · Barcelona
Year-round open-air garden terrace on the roof of El Palace Barcelona, with views to the Sagrada Familia.
The Rooftop Garden is the open-air terrace on top of El Palace Barcelona, the grand hotel at Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes 668 in the Eixample that opened in 1919 as the Ritz. The hotel keeps the roof open all year, every day from noon to midnight, and welcomes local visitors alongside its own guests.
The roof is laid out as a garden. Terraces, pergolas and bars are set among tropical plants, with fountains modeled on the greenhouses of Ciutadella Park, and the design draws on the romantic gardens of Francesc Cambo's residence and the paintings of Ramon Casas. The view runs across Barcelona to the Sagrada Familia. A pool inspired by Roman baths shares the roof and is reserved for hotel guests.
The kitchen serves Mediterranean dishes meant for sharing: fresh salads, grilled vegetables, pastas, rice dishes and lighter plates. The bar moves between signature cocktails, spritzes, classics and wines by the glass. The setting is restyled with the seasons, and the hotel adds pop-ups and themed set-ups through the year.
The hotel sets the terrace up for light lunches, sunset aperitifs and open-air dinners under the pergola. Non-residents reserve a table on the terrace; the pool stays with hotel guests.
