Quiet neighborhood with little nightlife
The 272-room Gran Hotel Torre Catalunya is located in Sants, a residential part of Barcelona a metro ride away from the action. While there are several restaurants in the immediate area -- including a rooftop restaurant on the hotel's top floor with gorgeous city views -- the area lacks nightlife. The Sants metro station is located across the street for easy access to central Barcelona. Rooms are bright and spacious with flat-screen TVs, stocked minibars, and bathrooms with double sinks. There is an on-site indoor pool, fitness center, and spa. The morning breakfast buffet is an elaborate affair, but it costs extra if you don't book the breakfast package.

Scene
A big, glass tower
The Gran Hotel Torre Catalunya was converted from an office high-rise to a hotel in 2005. Its large size and location attracts a mix of business and leisure travelers. The hotel lacks a distinct personality, but is clean and comfortable. The lobby includes several clusters of mod furniture. The residential neighborhood location means that the hotel is typically quiet without nightlife options on-site or nearby.
Location
In a residential neighborhood, a metro away from big attractions
The Gran Hotel Torre Catalunya is a quick walk from Las Arenas Shopping Center and across the street from the Sants metro station (a bus terminal is also close by). The location in Sants, a primarily residential neighborhood, offers restaurants nearby but not much nightlife. The area is easily accessible from the airport -- travelers should skip the expensive taxi ride and take the metro instead.
Rooms
Clean, quiet, and spacious rooms
This hotel has 272 rooms in six different categories. From the basic room all the way up to the suites, rooms have flat-screen TVs, stocked minibars, robes and slippers, safes, and bathrooms with double sinks and bidets.

Features
Rooftop restaurant and panoramic city views

The morning breakfast buffet is served in this space, which has floor to ceiling windows offering panoramic city views. The hotel's Eclectik Bar offers a place to unwind with a drink, sans views.
