Review 987 Barcelona Hotel, Barcelona

Reservation Information For The 987 Barcelona Hotel

987 Barcelona Hotel, Barcelona is a design hotel in a central Barcelona location. It is located within 5 minutes walk of popular areas such as Passeig de Gracia and Avenida Diagonal. However, it is located on a quiet street, allowing for tranquillity in a central location.

The hotel’s exterior is slightly uninviting and closed. The windows are covered and it is necessary to turn the handle on a large and heavy wrought iron door to enter into the lobby area. What lurks beneath is a welcome surprise. A large sheet of Perspex covering the inside of the front door causes a pink light to be cast throughout the lobby. Furry grey rugs cover the long and thin area. There are soft mauve swivel design chairs and low tables. Modern and minimalist chandeliers cut through the pink light. A stylish bar area can be glimpsed towards the left of the lobby, through sporadic slatted blinds.
