We’re back! HCC St Moritz reopens on 31 July 2020
On 31 July 2020, we will once again throw open the doors to the Hotel HCC St Moritz, welcoming our guests with more excitement and enthusiasm than ever before. Of course, our reopening will take place in line with all relevant safety measures and regulations, such as providing hand gel in all common areas, giving our staff personal protective equipment and ensuring more intense cleaning and complete disinfection takes place across all our facilities, among other things.
The Hotel HCC St Moritz can be found at 264 Calle de la Diputació, just a stone’s throw from Paseo de Gràcia in the heart of Barcelona, as well as a whole host of great tourist attractions. Let us take the opportunity to share some of the best attractions, museums and other places of interest you can visit and enjoy during your stay in Barcelona.
Tourist attractions near the Hotel HCC St Moritz
Just a 4 minute walk from HCC St Moritz, you’ll find Casa Batlló, one of Barcelona’s most famous modernist buildings and another of Gaudí’s masterpieces officially declared a World Heritage Site in 2005. Make no mistake, a visit to Casa Batlló is the perfect way to get up close and personal with one of history’s most celebrated architects. What’s more, a new tour is available to help visitors discover this world-famous attraction safely using the latest technology and real-time information.
Casa Batlló also offers another type of experience altogether, as part of a series of tours known as Noches Mágicas, or Magical Nights. On select evenings, besides visiting the building itself, you can also enjoy concerts and jazz, flamenco and soul musical performances, among others, on the building’s spectacular roof terrace.
Casa Batlló is open Wednesday to Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00. Visits usually last around an hour, meaning last entry is at 17:00. Tickets can be purchased through the website.
Similarly, La Pedrera-Casa Milà, perhaps Gaudí’s best known masterpiece, is located just 800 metres from the Hotel HCC St Moritz. From 15 July, this symbolic Barcelona tourist attraction will reopen its doors to tourists, whilst closely following all the required rules and safety measures to keep everyone safe. Furthermore, just like Casa Batlló, La Pedrera will also be offering a range of events to make your experience even more enriching, such as concerts, theatre performances and talks.
You can visit from Monday to Sunday between 09:00 and 20:30, as well as between 21:00 and 23:00 for night events. Tickets can be purchased online, with the added bonus of free changes if you need to alter your dates or times closer to the event, as well as full refunds if you can’t attend after all.
Another cornerstone of any visit to Barcelona is La Sagrada Familia. One of the most famous, enchanting places in the entire city that you simply cannot afford to miss. The streets surrounding La Sagrada Familia offer amazing views of all the building’s unique façades, which are sure to take your breath away. To access the inside of the building, simply visit the official website where you can see constantly updated information on opening hours and tickets to facilitate safe access to this Barcelona landmark.
Museums near the Hotel HCC St Moritz
The privileged location of our hotel means Barcelona’s Egyptian Museum is just a few minutes from the front door. A place where you can immerse yourself in Egyptian culture with exhibitions and collections that include everything from jewellery to ceramics to cosmetics, taking you all the way back to this most fascinating ancient civilisation.
Take care to note that the Egyptian Museum adopted new opening hours on 1 July. As a result, the museum is now open from Monday to Saturday between 11:00 and 19:00, with guided tours available in Spanish on Saturdays at 12:00 and in Catalan at 17:00. Tickets can be purchased online.
Just a 20 minute walk from the Hotel HCC St Moritz, you’ll find one of the city’s most popular museums: MACBA, the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art. In recent years, the museum has been gaining more and more artistic prominence throughout the city. MACBA has already reopened its doors to visitors after the pandemic, with a number of strict health and safety protocols in place to guarantee everyone’s wellbeing.
The Museum of Contemporary Art is open from Monday to Sunday, excluding Tuesdays, from 10:00 to 20:00, and on Sundays between 10:00 and 15:00. Tickets bought online will not only help you beat the queues, but you’ll also save 50%!
Outdoor activities and other options
Despite the fact every venue we’ve mentioned so far is applying strict protocols to guarantee the safety of both employees and visitors alike, the best way to avoid the spread of Covid-19 is always to avoid enclosed or crowded spaces. As such, why not try some of the brilliant free tours in Barcelona – and there are plenty to choose from, including visiting some of the city’s many great parks or exploring Barcelona by bike, just some of the fantastic ways you can avoid the busiest parts of town for now.
Staying at the Hotel HCC St Moritz is a great way to discover all the best tourist attractions in Barcelona. Thanks to our privileged location providing easy access to the best of what the city has to offer, if you’re visiting the Catalan capital any time soon, remember the HCC St Moritz is the perfect place to stay.
