Location
Location is where Hotel Ciutat de Girona really shines. Step outside and you’re seconds from Girona’s riverfront, with the colourful hanging houses and the red iron Pont de les Peixateries Velles – designed by the Eiffel Tower’s creator – almost on your doorstep. Cross the bridge to dive into the Old Town’s maze of medieval alleys, the atmospheric Jewish Quarter and the imposing Baroque cathedral high above the city.
This is very much a walkable base: independent boutiques, pavement cafés, pintxo bars and fine-dining restaurants are dotted all around, while Girona’s rail and bus connections put Barcelona, Figueres (for the Dalí museum) and the Costa Brava within easy reach for day trips.

Restaurants and Bars
Wake up to a quality hotel breakfast at Restaurant Blanc, an intimate space where Spanish and Catalan flavours take the lead. Expect a mix of continental choices, fresh fruit and hot options to fuel a morning of sightseeing or cycling.
By evening, the restaurant switches to an à la carte menu focused on local produce and regional recipes, ideal if you prefer to dine in after a busy day. If you’re more in the mood to explore, you’re surrounded by Girona’s buzzing dining scene – from casual tapas spots to gourmet tasting menus – all within an easy stroll.
The stylish Lobby Bar is your go-to for pre-dinner aperitifs or a relaxed nightcap. Pull up a stool and order local wines, vermouths, Spanish beers or classic long drinks, then step out into the city or settle in for a quiet drink.
Please note: a smart-casual dress code may apply. Reservations may be required for the restaurant, and opening times or inclusions can vary by season and board basis.
Pool Areas and Beach
This is a city-centre boutique hotel, so there’s no outdoor pool or beach on site. Instead, the focus is on urban exploring – wandering Girona’s medieval walls, riverside promenades and café-lined squares.
If you’re craving a coastal fix, the beaches of the Costa Brava, such as Platja d’Aro or Tossa de Mar, can be reached by car or bus, making them easy day-trip options from your Girona base.
