Set in the heart of Barcelona’s commercial centre, the perfectly comfortable and modern Balmes Hotel is conveniently close to the city’s main attractions.
It’s a short stroll to the famous Passeig de Gràcia boulevard, where you can stop off at a café for a café con leche or pop in and out of the many shops.
Sightseeing aside, the hotel offers a buffet breakfast to kick-start your day, and air-conditioning or heating in rooms for added comfort.
The onsite restaurant serves a typical Catalan menu, and you can also enjoy a pre-or-post dinner cocktail in the cosy bar.
From the lobby to its rooms, the Balmes Hotel is a veritable museum of sun-Saharan African art, showcasing pieces from Sudan, the vast central Africa that stretches from the Atlantic to the Red Sea.
Other sights close by include Gaudi’s Casa Batlló and La Pedrera, and you can also walk to Las Ramblas and Barcelona’s Gothic quarter.Accommodation:Hotel room for up to 2 adults consists ofTwin beds or double bedBath and wcHairdryerMinibar (charge) Satellite TVWiFi access Air-conditioning/heatingSingle rooms and Executive double or twin rooms available at a supplementActivities:SaunaJacuzziFacilities:Swimming poolFREE sunbeds and parasolsLoungeFREE WiFi accessKey Facts:Centrally located102 roomsLifts: 2Child age: 2-16 yearsOfficial rating: 3 starSome facilities and activities may incur a local chargeMeals and Drinks:Buffet-style breakfastRestaurantBar
