Barcelona’s Hotel El Palace

The Palace Hotel was designed by Eduard Ferrès for César Ritz and opened in 1919, a year after the death of the famous hotelier. During the Spanish Civil War the hotel was captured and renamed the Hotel Gastronómico N.º1 in an attempt to socialize the hotel industry. It was recaptured in 1937 and for a time turned into government offices before being returned to its original purpose.

The hotel can be seen above in The Hours and Times and Diary of a Nymphomaniac.
