Located on the site where a palace of the first count of Barcelona once stood, Ohla truly sits in the historical heart of the city. The hotel was inaugurated in February 2011, having carefully preserved the building’s historical façade from 1920 and other listed elements including the main staircase.

Ohla offers a range of rooms—from Essential and Design rooms (25–31 m²) to Junior Suites and the dramatic two-level Dome Suite.

Rooftop Retreat with Panoramic Views

Ohla’s rooftop terrace is the hotel’s crown jewel. Guests can enjpy a glass-walled rooftop pool, chic lounge furniture, and panoramic views of Gothic rooftops, the Cathedral, the sea, and Tibidabo mountain. The setting is both a serene sun-drenched haven and an evening bar offering cocktails and sweeping vistas.

Culinary Excellence
The hotel’s culinary heart is Caelis, the Michelin-starred restaurant by Romain Fornell. His modern Catalan-French creations and three tasting menus (including a vegetarian option) have earned wide acclaim. Fornell also oversees the more casual La Plassohla, a bistro-style eatery for tapas, set menus, and breakfast.
Ohla Boutique Bar

The chic Ohla Boutique Bar looks out to Via Laietana and serves cocktails prepared by award winning mixologists Giuseppe Santamaria and Giacomo Giannotti. The bar is open every day from 5PM to 2AM and stays open till 3AM on Friday and Saturday.
The Palau de la Música Catalana, Barcelona Cathedral and Gaudà Exhibition Center are all just a few minutes walk from the hotel. Among nearby restaurants, we recommend Els 4Gats and Koy Shunka. The stunning Ohla Hotel has a well deserved place on our list of the best luxury hotels in Barcelona.
