Hotel Azul Barcelona

Location, location, location.

Among all that’s great about the Hotel Azul Barcelona, the fact that it offers enviable proximity to all that’s good in this city has to be right at the top. Located in the centre of things at Placa Espana, the hotel provides the guest with excellent transport links via metro and bus. Moreover, it is walking distance from the popular arcade street of Las Ramblas – of which the Spanish poet Frederico Garcia Lorca had said, “The only street in the world which I wish would never end.”

A number of Mediterranean and Indian restaurants are nearby, although the in-house restaurant and bar would do a fine job of satiating your appetite as well. Feeling like a glutton after all that eating? Step into the onsite fitness centre and work those carbs out. At an affordable cost with the best of facilities , Hotel Azul is a worthy contender to be your base in Barcelona.

The Urban Suites Barcelona

There’s nothing like finding that perfect apartment to spend your time in an experience most sought after: a home away from home.

But the Urban Suites clearly deserves that reputation. Located in the fashionable neighbourhood of Placa Espana, staying here will allow you to be within minutes of all public transportation facilities. You can walk down to Las Ramblas, the market of Mercadona where you can witness the locals do their shopping, and the metro station of Barcelona Sants which will transport you to the fascinating countryside villages of Giorno and Terragona.

With Indian restaurants such as Swagatam and Tandoor in close proximity, you can re-create a bit of India in this charming Spanish city. Paid access to a gym nearby, an attentive concierge service and on-site tour arrangements gives Urban Suites that most enviable of blends between hotel and home.
