The Gallery Hotel is housed in a very modern looking building with a cream façade. It opened in 1992 to coincide with the Barcelona Olympics and is named for its proximity to the city's prime art-gallery district, a few blocks away on Rambla de Catalunya and Consell de Cent. Accessible via a revolving door, the medium sized lobby is pleasantly appointed, with a large wooden reception desk, a comfortable seating area to the right of the entrance and beautiful paintings on the walls. The 115 spacious guestrooms are decorated in a neutral, contemporary style with a desk and working area. They are clean and well maintained, as are the tiled en suite bathrooms. Located on the ground floor, in a warm and peaceful terrace setting, the restaurant serves a wide range of Mediterranean dishes and a special daily menu. There’s also the elegant Cafe del Gallery, leading off from the lobby.
