Hotel Nord 1901 Superior
Warm, family-owned boutique with contemporary interiors that still carry traces of the original building — high ceilings, tile floors, arched doorways, and iron balconies. The overall feel is residential-elegant rather than designer-cool. Staff are consistently praised for being personal and genuinely helpful.
Book a Superior Double or Suite for exterior views — standard rooms face the interior courtyard and can feel dark
Why It Matters
Sole hotel in Girona's city centre with a private garden and pool. Family-run for over a century, completely restored in 2009 and expanded in 2019. Strong reputation among cyclists: Girona has become one of Europe's top cycling destinations and Nord 1901 leans into it hard with a secure, alarmed bike room and cycling services.
Hotel Nord 1901 Superior is a 4-star family-run boutique hotel occupying a fully restored historic building in the heart of Girona. The building has been owned by the same family for over 120 years — it was originally the home of Dr. Josep Maria Massa, born here in 1901, and is today run by his grandson Luís. Most importantly for summer guests: it claims to have the only garden with swimming pool in Girona's city centre.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Flateli Santa Clara Apartments
Seven self-catering luxury apartments located in Girona's Barri Vell (old town), a short walk from the Cathedral of Santa Maria, the Call Jueu, and the Onyar river houses. One, two, or three double bedrooms, plus a sofa bed in every unit. Full kitchen, dining room, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi. Guests retain access to hotel services. Managed and bookable through the hotel's affiliated Flateli platform.
Junior Suite
35m² with a separate bedroom and living room — though the two spaces can be opened into one loft-style room if preferred. Fully kitted out: queen or twin beds, Smart TV, minibar, safe, coffee and tea maker, microfiber blanket, bathrobe, slippers, electric towel rail. A solid step up in space and flexibility without going to the full suite price.
Queen / 2 twin · 35 sqm
Standard Double
Interior-facing room overlooking the hotel's courtyard. Compact at 25m² but well-equipped — queen or two twin beds, Smart TV with music system, minibar, safe, kettle. Bathroom has both a bath and separate shower, plus bathrobes, slippers, and professional hairdryer. Good for a quiet stay or solo business traveller; not ideal if you want natural light or outdoor views.
Queen / 2 twin · 25 sqm
Suite
Spacious 45m² suite decorated in an elegant residential style with modern touches. King-size or two twin beds, 55'' Smart TV, desk, complimentary Nespresso machine, and a seriously good bathroom — Nebia spa-effect shower plus bathtub. Available in king or twin configuration.
King / 2 twin · 45 sqm
Suite with Terrace
The top accommodation category at the hotel. Same generous suite setup as the regular Suite — king-size bed, 55'' Smart TV, complimentary Nespresso, Nebia spa-effect shower and bathtub — but with a private outdoor terrace overlooking the garden. If the pool view suite is what you're after, this is the pick for summer.
King
Superior Double
All exterior-facing, ranging from 25–35m² with views over either the garden pool or the street. More light and space than the Standard. Same amenities package — queen or twin beds, LCD Smart TV, minibar, safe, separate shower and bath — but with French windows and noticeably better natural light. This is where most guests who love the pool view end up.

How you'll actually spend your days.

They coordinate with local bike rental companies (road and mountain bikes) and can arrange guided cycling routes or provide self-guided route information.
Several conference and meeting rooms with direct access to the garden, suitable for business meetings, private events, and celebrations. Personalised event service offered.
The only garden swimming pool in Girona's city centre. Seasonal outdoor pool with sun loungers/solarium. Note: some guest reviews mention the pool is small — it's a city-centre courtyard pool, not a resort pool.
