Modern and Convenient Stay

The hotel boasts a spacious, modern style that I found quite appealing. My suite featured a contemporary design and was very neat. I also appreciated the good location in Sant Martí, close to the Glories Shopping Mall. A taxi stand just outside the hotel was useful and the Hop-On, Hop-Off station made touring easy.
