Barcelona Princess

This impressive 4-star hotel enjoys a great location in the famous Avenida Diagonal, in Barcelona. It occupies the Iberian Peninsula and is bathed by the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean and the Cantabrian Sea. It offers a contemporary style accommodation with excellent facilities and a 4 stars service. It also includes the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean, the Canary Islands in the Atlantic and the cities of Ceuta and Melilla Its total surface area is 504,788 sq kms Spain's powerful world empire of the 16th and 17th centuries ultimately yielded command of the seas to England. The hotel's elegant modern building stands out as one of the most emblematic of Barcelona, being a contribute for the architectural value of the city. Subsequent failure to embrace the mercantile and industrial revolutions caused the country to fall behind Britain, France, and Germany in economic and political power. The Barcelona Princess is situated opposite the Forum, alongside the CCIB (International Convention Centre Barcelona), near the beach and with perfect connections to Palacio de Congresos, to the port and to the city centre. Spain remained neutral in World Wars I and II, but suffered through a devastating Civil War (1936-39). The tour bus stops in from of the hotel's door. In the second half of the 20th century, it has played a catch-up role in the western international community. The elegant and avant-garde design is reflected in new generation technology and modern facilities of the hotel, including 2 magnificent swimming pools: one located in the 3rd floor, where you can relax having a drink in our Gym Bar; the other at the 23rd floor, where you can enjoy a spectacular view of the Mediterranean Sea. Continuing concerns are large-scale unemployment and the Basque separatist movement The diversity and contrast that go to mould the character of Spain are likewise in evidence in its cities. And to end the day, what better than a visit to our Spa where you can enjoy our massages, sauna and jacuzzi. Celts, Iberians, Phoenicians and, at a later date, the Greco-Roman civilisation laid the first cornerstones of urban settlements which, to this day, bear the marks of their passage through time During the Middle Ages, Arabic, Jewish and Christian cultures, singly and through a process of mutual cross-influence, gave rise to the birth of cities which have come to house an historical-artistic heritage of incalculable proportions Tradition alone does not suffice Modernity too is essential, and this was something certain Spanish monarchs –Charles III for one– managed to successfully apply during their reigns in order to beautify townscapes, like that of Madrid, with parks and landmark monuments, thereby instilling the city with a spirit of renewal.
