Review: Hotel America Barcelona
Located on a quiet corner in the area known as Eixample is the bright and quirky Hotel America Barcelona. You can’t help but smile as you walk into the light-filled funky lobby area which has a large, colourful Barcelona-inspired mural on the wall. It’s a pleasure to come across a hotel with such flair and originality.

Here is where you also have a buffet breakfast every morning. Up on the roof of the hotel you will find 2 swimming pools and can enjoy views over the city. There is also a small but complete gym and a Finnish sauna at your disposal.
