The Art Palace of Barcelona’s Eixample
Set within the noble 19th-century Vedruna Palace just a short stroll from Barcelona’s famed Passeig de Gràcia and Antoni Gaudí’s architectural icons, Hotel Claris and SPA 5*GL seamlessly unites historic grandeur, contemporary design, and exceptional archaeological heritage. Conceived by passionate art collector Jordi Clos, chairman of Derby Hotels Collection, this one-of-a-kind urban palace showcases more than 400 genuine museum-grade antiquities spanning ancient Egypt, pre-Columbian civilizations, imperial Rome, and imperial China across its hallways, salons, and guest suites.
The hotel features 124 uniquely decorated rooms and bi-level duplex suites, featuring noble oak wardrobes with rosewood marquetry, Mervaux hardwood flooring, hand-molded metal headboards, and gold leaf ceilings. Every room displays authentic historic artworks, while the pinnacle King Suite boasts 1,600-year-old Hindu deity statues, original Napoleonic Egyptian expedition engravings, and an in-suite sauna with whirlpool bath.
