Hotels in Barcelona
Barcelona is able to offer such a wide choice of hotels due to the huge number of events that take place in the city.
Initially, this is a great advantage to be able to book a room, although not so much when it comes to choosing where!
In the very centre of the city, next to Plaza Catalunya, one can find the two hotels.
A hidden jewel with balcony views of the Ramblas: Continental Barcelona. Built in 1896 and with 3 floors, it has played host to personalities such as Hebert Von Barajan and Goerge Orwell throughout the hotel’s 100 year history.
The hotel staff are extremely friendly and attentive, and there is a very informal and personal atmosphere. The rooms have been recently renovated but have maintained the traditional authenicity. Guests have access to the 24 hour buffet, drinks and internet, totally free. You can find out more information about the hotel by logging on to the website: www.hotelcontinental.com
In Rambla Catalunya, another very central point, you will find the other hotel: Continental Palacete. It is a mini palace dating back from the end of the 19th century, a truely authentic piece of Barcrelonian architecture. It was opened in 2002 and within its few years if use, it has already converted into one of the most talked about hotels in the city.
