This impressive 15 story steel and glass hotel soars above century old gardens just west of the business and shopping end of the prestigious Avenida Diagonal, one kilometre from the Royal Palace's museums. Decorated with deep blue, white spotted carpet, contemporary timber furniture, and modern art prints the 412 guestrooms offer expansive city views; all provide premium bedding, bathrobes and slippers, minibars, and marble baths with separate tub and shower.
The hotel complex features the Royal Fitness health spa, offering a gym, two heated indoor pools and a 'wet zone' made up of jetted tubs, saunas, steam baths, aroma cabins, and hydro massage showers. Staff are on hand to help with training programs and massages. Outside is a further heated pool, open year round. Fine French cuisine at Chez Vous and an impressive range of other dining venues providing ample eating and drinking opportunities. Alternatively, the hotel's concierge is available to help guests book restaurants and shows, as well as explore the city. Local attractions include the Palau Reial and Pedralbes monastery which house extensive art collections, both within two kilometres of the hotel; for less cultural pursuits, the Camp Nou football stadium is also two kilometres away, and shopping on the L'Illa del Diagonal is three kilometres distance. The nearest airport is El Prat, 20 kilometres and as many minutes drive away. Local trains, the express Aerobús service and taxis are available for transfer from the airport to the city center. A taxi should charge around 20 EUR. Trains and buses stop at central Plaça de Catalunya, from where you can take the Metro or taxi to the hotel.
