Barcelona Hotels

Barcelona is home to various types of hotels ranging from simple rooms all the way up to five-star luxury suites. Barcelona also offers apartments for tourists to rent. No matter what kind of Barcelona hotel you choose to book, expect the best service. After all they want your tourism dollars and will go to great lengths to keep you coming back.

One of the most popular five-star luxury hotels in the city is Hotel Arts Barcelona, which is owned by the Palace Carlton group. It offers modern, high-quality accommodation right on the sea front.

The Meridien is based on the Ramblas, which is a very central location in Barcelona.

The Palace Hotel Barcelona is only a 10-minute walk to Placa Catalunya, which is an ideal location to explore the city.

The five-star Hotel Melia Barcelona is a little further out from the center than the other hotels. However, it has a metro stop only 10 minutes away, which will take one to anywhere in the city.

The Majestic Hotel is a deluxe 4-star hotel and offers fantastic facilities with high standards, but what adds to the overall excellence of the hotel are the location, tradition and gourmet cuisine it offers. It is located on the Paseo de Gracia, one of Barcelona’s most beautiful avenues, and is close to some of the city’s main tourist spots.

The Ambassador is a two-minute walk from the sights and sounds of the Ramblas, yet located within a quiet street.

The top three-star hotels in Barcelona are the Abba Sant, Hotel Fiira Palace Barcelona and the Prestige Paeo De Gracia.

 a-large-pyramid-will-compete-in-paris-with-the-eiffel-tower.jpg

Probably this pyramid located in Paris will become part of the more bizarre buildings in the world. Or, at least, the most spectacular, as it will be a skyscraper pyramid near 200 meters.

The debate over whether to alter the profile of the urban city has been reopened, because without doubt this giant focus in the Parisian sky … Anyway, not to exceed the Eiffel Tower, which has a total height of 324 meters, or Montparnasse Tower, with 210 meters high.

The “Triangle Project”, created by the same architects of “The Nest” in Beijing, the Swiss Herzog & de Meuron, was introduced yesterday Thursday by the mayor of the city, and is scheduled to be finished by 2012 in southwest the city of Paris at the Porte de Versailles.

The new building will have 70,000 square meters and will house a center for conferences, meetings, offices and a hotel within the park exhibits.
