WHY WE PICKED THIS HOTEL
Despite being in the heart of Old Town, the hotel turns inward around courtyards, gardens, and the wellness cave, creating a protected, almost monastic calm that’s rare in a city setting.
HOTEL DESCRIPTION
Hotel Palau Fugit is a boutique stay inside Girona’s old town, set in a restored palace building tucked behind the historic streets of Barri Vell. It’s the kind of place that feels genuinely special from the moment you arrive, with stone details, quiet corners, and a calm courtyard atmosphere even though you’re right in the middle of the city. Step outside and you’re straight into Girona’s medieval lanes, with the cathedral, the Jewish Quarter, and the river all a short walk away. What really sets it apart is that it offers proper “retreat” moments alongside the city break. There’s a courtyard pool for warm afternoons, plus a small wellness zone with a warm pool for a slower reset. Add in a rooftop terrace with views over Girona’s ancient ramparts, and it’s a hotel that works beautifully for exploring on foot, then coming back for a quiet swim and a drink before dinner.
Our take on the stay
Bob
Palau Fugit feels like stepping through a hidden door in Girona. One minute you’re in tight medieval streets, the next you’re in a green courtyard with a pool and total calm.
