Set on 25,000 square meters of breathtaking 19th century gardens, boasting unparalleled views of the stunning Barcelona skyline, The Fairmont Rey Juan Carlos I welcomes you into its exclusive five-star world of tradition, hospitality and magnificence. Barcelona's only urban resort hotel, this luxurious urban hotel provides a tranquil retreat in the heart of Spain's celebrated second city. With a central location on the prestigious Avenida Diagonal and excellent transport links as well as a shuttle service to city center, the Fairmont Rey Juan Carlos I shines as a memorable base for exploring Barcelona and wider Catalonia.

Major attractions and amenities, including the famous Camp Nou stadium, the Barcelona Polo Club and the financial district, are all within easy reach of the hotel, and the vibrant restaurants, bars and shopping streets that have made Barcelona a world-class destination are just a stone's throw away. No trip to Barcelona is complete without a visit to the awe-inspiring La Sagrada Familia, and you'll definitely want to make time to study the masterpieces at the Museu Picasso; to stroll through the crowds of the city's most famous street, La Rambla; and Mercat de la Boqueria, La Rambla's most interesting building.

Eating is serious business in Barcelona, and a stay at The Fairmont exposes you to a world of gastronomy, from its location in the heart of the city close to dozens of eateries, restaurants and bars, in addition to its own impressive array of high-quality destinations for drinking and dining. From relaxed al fresco lunches and poolside drinks, sophisticated cocktails and five-star fine dining, to delicious local specialties savored in the relaxed surroundings of the Pool Bar, to international cuisine in the elegant luxury of The Polo Restaurant, the resort has an option to suit every mood and taste.

Your Barcelona Gourmet Tapas Walking Tour takes you to a Modernist-style tapas bar in the heart of Barcelona's Eixample neighborhood, and then finishes the night in an emblematic flamenco bar in the heart of the Gothic Quarter in famous Plaça Reial. This exciting 3-hour evening experience includes a stroll around Eixample to sample authentic Catalan tapas such as 'pa amb tomàquet,' and visit to a ham delicatessen in Born. Finish your evening with a 45-minute authentic flamenco show featuring some of the genre's newest rising stars. Sip sangria and dine on gourmet tapas as dancers perform their fiery Spanish flamenco moves to traditional Spanish music!
