Hotel Catalonia Roma, Barcelona

Montjuïc is the site of the 1992 summer Olympics, where you can visit the grounds where the games were held and even swim in the pools where major athletes once rivaled for a medal. Gaudí’s most famous works are also located in the Eixample, including his whimsical residences, the Casa Batlló and La Pedrera and his master work, still under construction, the Sagrada Familia. This area is extremely well communicated with the rest of the city by bus and metro. Travel further from Sants train station to Sitges, the popular coastal town, or the interesting Montserrat monastery. The Catalonia Roma was built in 1989 and renovated in 2002 and has 49 comfortable rooms available to guests. Pleasant and conservatively decorated, they include wireless Internet (throughout the building), interactive satellite TV with pay-per-view channels, direct dial phone, mini bar, strong box, air conditioning and rooms service. There is a meeting room for business guests, and car rental arrangements can be made from the reception. < hide more details
