Some complaints concerning noise issues
The three-and-a-half pearl Hilton Barcelona focuses on the needs of business travelers with features like fully-equipped meeting rooms, free Wi-Fi, and an Executive Lounge. The design is ultra-contemporary, and all the basics in amenities are covered: restaurants, nice gym, room service, hot breakfast buffet, and parking (for a fee). However, there’s no pool or spa and the hotel’s a bit far from the city center, making it less than ideal for tourists. The 290 rooms are lovely and provide comforts like flat-screen TVs, minibars, and kettles. For a pool, nightclub, and spa, travelers might want to consider Melia Barcelona Sky, a business-friendly hotel on the opposite end of Avenida Diagonal in the business district of El Poblenou.
