The Return of Café del Suizo | Gargallo Hotels

For years, cafés were much more than places to grab a drink. They were meeting points, spaces where people gathered, shared conversations or simply paused for a moment before continuing with their day. And perhaps that is one of the beautiful things about places like these: they evolve over time while keeping their essence alive.

The revival of Café del Suizo was born from exactly that idea: bringing back a story and giving it continuity through a contemporary perspective. At Gargallo Hotels, we continue to believe in spaces capable of connecting with the history and identity of each destination, while also embracing new ways of experiencing the city. Because many times, a journey is not built only through where you stay, but also through those places that unexpectedly become part of the experience.

Talking about Café del Suizo also means talking about Hotel Suizo. With more than 150 years of history, the hotel has witnessed the evolution of Barcelona while maintaining a deep connection with the Gothic Quarter and the city surrounding it.

Now, Café del Suizo opens a new chapter within that story. A space designed to enjoy a quiet pause, start the day slowly or discover one of those places that naturally becomes part of the journey.

Stepping into Café del Suizo means rediscovering part of the ritual of traditional cafés, reimagined for today. Coffee and chocolate remain at the heart of the experience, preserving the essence that has defined this space for more than 150 years.

From freshly ground coffee to artisanal hot chocolate topped with fresh cream, the menu brings back flavours and traditions reminiscent of the great classic European cafés. The experience is completed with a carefully curated selection of pastries, sweet and savoury bites and options designed for any moment of the day: a mid-morning pause, a relaxed breakfast or an afternoon treat after wandering through the Gothic Quarter.
