The Golden Hotel Barcelona is a 4-star hotel on Carrer d’Àvila, in the Sant Martí district, between the Sagrada Família and the sea. Its main attraction is the roof, with an outdoor pool, a jacuzzi and a bar. It holds the Biosphere sustainability certification and suits couples and short city breaks.
Location and getting around
The Sagrada Família is about a 25-minute walk away. The Gothic Quarter and the Cathedral are about 35 minutes away, and Barceloneta beach about 40. According to the property, the Port Olímpic is 1.5 km away.
Plaça d’Espanya and Barcelona Sants station are far off, more than 4 km: if you arrive by train or are going to the Fira, take the Metro or a taxi.
Rooms and facilities
On the roof you have the outdoor pool, the jacuzzi and a bar with city views. There is a gym, a restaurant and a shared lounge. Breakfast is a buffet.
According to the property, each guest gets one free entry per stay to the spa of the Hotel & Spa Villa Olimpic@ Suites, a few metres away. It must be booked and depends on availability.
Who it suits
