Description
Welcome to Bravissimo Palau del Alemanys, a truly exceptional accommodation located in the heart of the old quarter of the city of Girona. This historic building occupies a medieval architectural complex attached to the founding Roman wall of ancient Gerunda, which dates back to Roman times.
The Palau dels Alemanys, as it is locally known, was originally constructed in the 14th century and served as the residence of the powerful Alemanys family. Over the centuries, the building was used for a variety of purposes, including as a military hospital and as the headquarters of the Inquisition in Girona.
Today, the Palau dels Alemanys has been restored to its former glory, offering exclusivity, singularity, and charm in its spaces. As you cross the 14th-century door of our establishment, you will be transported back in time, surrounded by the rich history and culture of Girona.
The building's medieval courtyard is truly awe-inspiring, featuring the Carolingian Wall of the 9th century (Monument of National Interest), the preserved original construction of the 14th-century interior facade, and the medieval cistern. On the upper floors, you will find our three exclusive Suites Boutique Apartments, El Tinell, Els Festejadors, and El Badiu, each one offering a different way to stay, where luxury resides in the space itself.
Els Festejadors, located on the second floor, is a suite that takes its name from the stones placed on each internal side of the window, where people would sit and converse to make the most of the hours of light, typical of noble houses. The suite features an area of 55m2 and can accommodate 2 guests. With direct and private access via a lift, this suite has a bedroom, a bathroom, a living-dining room, and a kitchen, featuring a coffered ceiling from the 14th century.
Come and live the experience of staying in a unique historical location, where you can immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of Girona. Enjoy our guest services, which are designed to provide you with an unforgettable stay, or fall in love with one of our unique pieces of furniture, each one telling its own story of the building's rich history.

The Palau dels Alemanys is located in the heart of Girona's historic old town, a charming and picturesque neighborhood full of narrow streets and alleys, ancient buildings, and beautiful landmarks. The location is ideal for exploring the city on foot, as many of Girona's top attractions are within easy walking distance, including the iconic Cathedral of Girona, the Jewish Quarter, and the colorful houses along the Onyar River.
As mentioned, the Palau dels Alemanys is situated on a medieval architectural complex annexed to the founding Roman wall of ancient Gerunda, making it a unique and historically significant location. The neighborhood is very peaceful and tranquil, perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.
If you are arriving by car, we recommend parking first as the Palau dels Alemanys is not accessible by car. However, you can get very close to it by parking at Plaça de Sant Domènec, which is just a short walk away. Please note that parking in the old town can be limited and challenging, so it's best to plan ahead and check for parking options beforehand.
Overall, the Palau dels Alemanys offers a one-of-a-kind experience for visitors to Girona, combining history, charm, and tranquility in a beautiful and unique location in the heart of the old town.
