Hotel Gran Claustre & Spa


The Hotel

Playing with the significance of the hotel “Gran Claustre” name, we could say it is the highest leaf in Altafulla, sharing the summit of the old part of town with, the Via Closa, with the beautiful Montserrat castle. It is magical to go through the alleyway which under the old building takes us from the parking to the reception. We say old-1746, hotel since 2004- because there is also the new- 2010, new floor- camouflaged between the other facades of this summit of the village, XVII and XVIII century houses, an urban emplacement Of National Artistic Interest. Indoors both buildings, old and modern, are a design domain, of present day furnishing and hospitable ambiances. In the first, stone walls, in the second, vanguard spaces. A favourite corner is the patio with a swimming pool, under the shade of Washington palm trees, with the heat coming off the facade of the venetian red veteran wing. The hotel has 39 rooms which have been named after colours, minerals and precious stones. The new SPA, which offers beauty and massage parlours in an exclusive setting, and a grand hall with a fire place and an elegant chill out patio complete this luxurious setting in a magnificent historic environment.
