Hotel Catalonia Mikado, Barcelona

The 3-star Hotel Catalonia Mikado is located in the exclusive residential Sarrià area of Barcelona, where those in the know and with the means choose to live. Former Fooball Club Barcelona player Figo made this neighbourhood his residence. This safe and swish area is characterized by stately residences and is near several interesting sites including the highly recommended Pedralbes Monastery Museum with interesting artefacts and artworks. From the hotel, the nearby FGC metro (Sarrià) takes you to several points of interest including Plaza Catalunya and Las Ramblas, the chic commercial Passeig de Gràcia with fascinating Gaudi monuments and the bohemian, village-feel of the Gràcia area. Tibidabo is just around the corner and offers absolutely spectacular views of the city from the Mira Blau cocktail bar. Sit in this little bar perched perilously on the hill and watch the sunset over the city and the Mediterranean. This 3 star hotel offers guests all the comforts in rooms which were renovated in 2005.
