Grand Continental Coffee Restaurant

Grand Continental Coffee Restaurant

As we can read in a news article in La Vanguardia on 12/15/1884, one day before, one of the most important cafes in Barcelona was opened at the end of the 19th century, and it was located on the corner of La Rambla with Plaza Catalunya. .

Rusiñol, Gaziel, Cambó or Ángel Guimerà could be found as the most usual illustrious clients, as described in articles in the newspapers El País and ABC.

Ten years later the Café closed as part of the Hotel space. Currently, the Hotel Continental still exists, but it no longer occupies all the space it used to have.

In the news he refers to Domingo Ballet as being in charge of carrying out the interior design of this establishment.
