Gran Derby Hotel
Barcelona, Spain
Gran Derby Hotel
Remarkable accommodation in Barcelona’s exclusive shopping district
Set in a striking red brick building, reminiscent of a tall English Victorian townhouse, Hotel Gran Derby sits on a quiet side street yet close to Avinguda Diagonal, one of Barcelona’s main thoroughfares. With an outdoor pool, gym and sauna, this is a restful bolthole to return to following a hectic day in the city.
A smart colour palette of white, black, grey and light brown creates a modern, chic ambiance. But, one of the most stunning aspects of Hotel Gran Derby is its extensive collection of contemporary art by internationally renowned Catalan artists including Pablo Picasso, Joan Hernández Pijuan, Xavier Mariscal and Josep Maria Guinovart.
Conveniently close to Barcelona’s business district, Hotel Gran Derby is also within a short walk from the centre of the city and many of the major attractions. Discover the numerous designer shops in the area to find that special purchase.
