Scene
Design-oriented extended-stay hotel
The Aparthotel Atenea has smart, contemporary design in its lobby as well as its rooms. The lobby is an eclectic yet upscale mix of clusters of chairs, wood paneling, and marble. Overall the hotel has a calm vibe, perhaps due to its location removed from the main tourist attractions of Barcelona, though occasionally the basement event rooms may be used for weekend parties.The hotel draws both business travelers and a high number of Japanese tourists. While stays of one or two nights are certainly accepted, the location in the center of the financial district of Barcelona and the kitchenette-equipped rooms mean that many business travelers come for extended stays.
