It’s time to live out your royal fantasies in Spain. El Palace Barcelona, a five-star hotel situated in the heart of the vibrant Spanish city, is offering an exclusive two-day experience that transports guests to Jerez de la Frontera. Here, visitors will explore Palacio Domecq, an 18th-century family-owned Baroque palace renowned for its extensive winemaking legacy.
Dating back to 1778, Palacio Domecq has been the cherished home of the Domecq family since 1885. This stunning Baroque palace features towering Italian marble columns, historic paintings, tapestries, and sculptures. Despite its grandeur, the palace maintains a familiar, cozy atmosphere perfect for a night in. For the first time, guests can now stay overnight at this magnificent location, thanks to this unique program.
The two-day experience includes a guided tour of the palace conducted by a member of the Domecq family. Guests will enjoy a tapas dinner on their first night, followed by a private half-hour flamenco show on-site, adding an authentic touch to their royal adventure. This intimate experience allows visitors to immerse themselves in the rich history and culture of the palace.
On the second night, guests can choose a recipe from the palace’s archives for dinner. Options include Jerez-style cream of artichoke soup and Palacio Domecq’s rice with prawns. A sherry tasting session, led by the Mora-Figueroa Domecq oenologist, is also part of the experience, showcasing the region’s finest offerings. This culinary journey is complemented by two traditional Andalusian breakfasts, featuring fresh juice from home-grown oranges and mandarins, and homemade jam from the palace’s kitchens.
The partnership between El Palace Barcelona and Palacio Domecq is mutually beneficial. Guests at El Palace Barcelona can savor Mora-Figueroa Domecq sherries in the hotel’s Great Hall and Rooftop Garden. This collaboration enhances the luxurious experience, providing a seamless blend of history, culture, and gastronomy that will make you feel like royalty.
