Choosing a hotel, especially in a large city like Barcelona
can
be a gigantic headache. But if you read on, this article can
give you a wonderful solution for flights, transport, hotel
and
a marvellous stay at the leading theme park from the time you
step foot off the plane at the Barcelona airport. There are
many kinds of accomodations for everyone’s holiday stay in
Barcelona, Spain like hotels ranging from five to three stars,
hostels, youth hostels, campings and apartments. But what I
really understand for the word ‘holiday’ is having everything
at a snap of your fingers and here is how you can get it.
Barcelona Hotels at a snap of your fingers
Your holiday plans are set on Barcelona, and before heading
into the busy city to enjoy all the cultural and architectural
delights it has to offer, I recommend the following itinerary
which I have personally done twice ( and hope to do a few more
times). When arriving at the ‘El Prat’ Barcelona Airport, you
can get a special transfer which will take you directly to
your
Barcelona hotel at the fantastic theme park called Port
Aventura. If you are planning to travel to other places and
have decided on a car hire, remember that Europcar has special
prices for vacationers staying at Port Aventura. You will have
previously chosen one of these wonderful four star hotels,
each
uniquely decorated and offering a package deal of hotel
lodging
and breakfast, entrance tickets to Port Aventura and also to
the Carribbean Water Park ( Caribe Aquatic Park ).
The Portaventura Hotel is nicely decorated in a Mediterranean
colonial style, The El Paso Hotel intricately shows the
pre-Colombian and Mexican decor and the Caribe Port hotel is
the biggest swimming pool with white sand in the world. You
are
not going to get this type of Barcelona Hotels even booking
the
best ones right on the waterfront. At the highest season which
is categorized as ‘A’, one night with two days in the park
could cost about 218 euros single and 136 double with a child
for 68 euros. There are combinations of 4 people in one room
including child and longer stay offers. At the El Paso Hotel,
in the lowest season, still being able to enjoy very
favourable
Barcelonian weather, 2 people would be about 84 euros and a
child 42. Can’t beat that! Enjoy the parks fully and snoop
around and relax completely at these magnificent hotels in
Barcelona.
Other Barcelona Hotels Options
When my piggy bank exploded, or did I explode it, it doesn’t
matter, I went mad and stayed at the Arts Hotel in Barcelona.
I
wanted to have a perfect view of the marina port area and was
told that any of the suites, splendid double rooms or luminous
duplex apartments would give me that pleasure. I wanted to be
catered to as I was, with its friendly, well-trained staff and
incredible facilities. As a last effort to ‘live it up’, I had
my taste buds tickled at the Goyescas restaurant. Everything
on
the menu was teasing so I tried the house specialty and was
recommended an exquisite wine to accompany it.
After working hard on a few projects, I was tempted to go back
to visit the new port area in Barcelona, and as I wanted to
get
more details on the Barcelona hotels I went straight for the
three star Montecarlo hotel located on the Ramblas Promenade,
well known for being lined with flower stands. This medieval
14th century building has been newly renovated and decorated
but always respecting the original architectural features.
This
time I concentrated on the complete buffet breakfast and its
centrical location to be able to walk into the centre, to the
port area and to get a glimpse at the crazy nightlife in the
Exaimple area.
Barcelona has been recognized as one of the most vanguard
places for hotels and gastronomy. Therefore, the tourist
bureau
and town hall of Barcelona has decided to make the period from
March 2005 to March 2006 a national and international
promotion
of Catalunya and its rich fresh products. Some of the
restaurants promoting these products like the shop Can Ravell
(
an excellent delicatessen ) or Club del Gourmet ( coffee,tea
and
sweets) are near the two Barcelona hotels I have mentioned.
