Silken Gran Havana Hotel was built in 1991, incorporating the original stately 1872 facade; but it was redecorated in 2002. The curving interior atrium, in the style of the Art Nouveau architect Gaudi, extends from the ground-floor piano bar to the glass-covered roof six stories above. An adjacent seating area offers several sofas and chairs for reading and conversation. This duality of the Gran Hotel Havana is typical of Barcelona, where tradition and the avant-garde coexist happily together. Which explains this 19th-century building with a 21st-century interior. Also how its modern concept of service is based on traditional ideas of hospitality. * Grand Place restaurant is open every day of the year. It offers tasty seasonal menus featuring our traditional "arroz marinero" (fisherman's rice). There is a Menu de Dégustation with original dishes based on the latest trends in Catalan cuisine. * In the La Cúpula piano-bar, set in the spectacular atrium under the skylight that presides over the hotel, you can enjoy live music every day from 20 to 21 h. * On the seventh (top) floor of the hotel you will find our swimming pool and terrace-solarium, with spectacular views over Tibidabo mountain. * The hotel will be delighted to contribute to the success of your business meetings, business lunches, functions, family celebrations. * The 145 rooms, totally redecorated in 2002, all have modern furnishings, satellite TV, wireless Internet, minibar, individual control of central heating and air conditioning, desk, etc. * Bathrooms are of Italian marble, and the furniture is made of African bubinga wood.
