el JardĂ­

With its privileged location, el Jardí is located in the commercial and artistic center of Barcelona. The Plaza del Pí, very close to “Las Ramblas”, is an ideal starting point to visit the main sites of interest in the city.
Walking distance to the Cathedral, Plaça Catalunya, Palau de la Generalitat, Passeig de Gràcia, el Born, the Maremagnum, the beach or the port.

1640

It's creation

At the Historical Archive of the City there are documents in which it appears that in Plaza Sant Josep Oriol there was an Inn for transporters, dated from the year 1640. It also shows that there was an orchard on the corner between Plaza del Pi and the Plaza of Sant Josep Oriol. Apparently, the owners decided to build a five-story building. The materials used for the original structure were mud, straw and wood. The adjacent Inn was a typical structure with stone arches that supported the four-story building. Travelers rest in the rooms of the upper levels, over the stone arches. Below were the animals that helped to hear the first floor.

Renovation

In 1860 el JardĂ­ becomes the third hotel license in Barcelona. Throughout the years the two buildings were consolidated. When observing the main facade and the entrance of the hostel located in Plaza de Sant Josep Oriol, one can distinguish the difference in levels between the two buildings by the rows of balconies. Shortly thereafter, the two buildings seem to have become of a sole owner, perhaps the owner of the Inn, as a staircase was built to connect both buildings; El JardĂ­ was born. Thanks to its location it became a famous place, frequented by well-known artists arriving with elegant carriages. Naturally, people would stop at the square to see everything.
Now

A family run hotel

During the twentieth century el JardĂ­ changed owners. The current management of the building, which for a time was quite deteriorated, has renovated the interior, respecting the facade. Remodeling works were executed in two stages, the first just before the 1992 Olympic Games and the second was completed in 2002 with the installation, for the first time, of an elevator. Unfortunately, due to the age of the building, the elevator does not start from the street level, and you have to climb some stairs to reach the lobby (20 steps).
