Wellness Features & Amenities

The hotel combines comfort and wellness for a complete experience

Delicious Breakfast Experience

“Breakfast at the Grand Hotel Central was hands down one of the best hotel breakfasts I've had! There was an very nice variety, including fresh eggs, pastries, quiche, and even chia seed puddings. The coffee was excellent too. Each morning felt special, starting our day with such a good spread.” view full review

Rooftop Relaxation

“The rooftop terrace was a highlight of my stay! It had a relaxed atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The small pool was never crowded, and there were DJ sets on weekends that added a fun vibe. I particularly enjoyed sipping cocktails while taking in the fine views.” view full review

Comfortable and Clean Accommodations

“My room was spacious and spotless. The beds were extremely comfortable, and I appreciated the complimentary bottled water and coffee station. The large windows allowed natural light in, and the overall modern design made my stay very enjoyable.” view full review

A Cozy Retreat

“The bedroom provided a perfect retreat after long days in the city. The high-quality linens and giant pillows made for a restful night's sleep. I loved having two bottles of water daily to hydrate, especially after returning from the heat of Barcelona. Overall, it was the perfect blend of comfort and luxury.” view full review
