Hotel Cuatro Naciones. 2 star hotel. Historic hotel on La Rambla. Simple yet attractive hotel located in an excellent location in old part of Barcelona. Las Cuatro Naciones was founded in 1770 but the current hotel building is from the 18th century. The name of four nations is derived from four big nations namely: France, Italy, England and Portugal. This was the place to stay when it opened and over the years celebrity guests have included Wild Bill Hickok, better known as Buffalo Bill, US President Ulysses Grant, Frederic-Francois Chopin, Stendhal and Einstein among others. The convenient location near the now disused Teatre Principal and the Liceu opera also made it a favourite with performers at the theatre and the opera.
