Review: Hilton Hotel Barcelona
When people stay at the Hilton Hotel Barcelona they are essentially
buying a brand name and the assurance of quality that goes with
it. This Hilton hotel will not let you down. It’s the little
details that matter: the way there is such a large covered driveway
down to the taxi rank just in case it rains. The doormen are smart,
the reception staff charming, the décor modern and expensive-looking,
and the colour scheme made up of neutrals with splashes of red.
The Hilton is quality and stands in the middle of one of Barcelona’s
main financial districts.
Hotel Facilities
You can be assured that the Hilton Hotel Barcelona do not skimp
on facilities. There is a gym, though no pool. The hotel offers
a luggage storage service, a laundry service and a currency exchange.
In the lobby area there is a gift shop and a convenience store in
case you left your toothbrush at home. The Hilton has a bar in the
lobby which goes out to a small but beautiful Ibiza-inspired terrace.
There is also a Bistro for light meals and the new and increasingly
popular Mosaic restaurant which does a great Sunday brunch apparently.
Kosher food is also available, even with the 24 hour rooms service.
The hotel can also arrange transfers to and from the airport.
Business Facilities at the Hilton Hotel Barcelona
There are more than a few meeting rooms, the largest of which has
a floor space of 7,146 square feet. The rooms can be hired out for
any occasion but if you want them for business then there are also
several services you can employ. The Hilton Hotel offers a secretarial
service, video conferencing, and the hire of audiovisual equipment.
You can also rent a mobile phone for the duration of your stay and
there is an express mail service straight from the hotel.
Rooms at the Hilton Hotel in Barcelona
There are 287 standard rooms in the hotel, all decorated in the
same modern, unobtrusive way. The rooms have large windows designed
to let in as much natural light as possible. The views aren’t
picturesque, you will either get Diagonal or just the surrounding
office blocks. However the rooms are comfortable and come with the
usual: Air-conditioning/ heating, in house movies, a minibar and
PC connections. A safe box is available at reception. There is also
a hairdryer in the bathrooms.
Hotel Location and Facilities
The Hilton Hotel Barcelona is located in Les Corts which is one
of Barcelona’s main business districts. However it is an area
which is also quite residential and so there are many good facilities.
A 2 minute walk down the road there is the L´Illa complex which
has a good variety of shops, restaurants and a large supermarket.
2 Minutes the other way and you can have a coffee in Starbucks.
Cash points are easy to find, the closest is in L´Illa. The
Metro stop Maria Cristina is 10 minutes away,
and the metro will take you into the centre of Barcelona, Las Ramblas,
in about 15-20 minutes.
How to travel from the airport to the hotel

25 minutes and cost around 25 - 30 euros depending on traffic and

In a Nutshell
The doorman told me that the Hilton hotel Barcelona was mostly
used by business travelers but it would be perfectly good for those
on holiday who want to be out of the centre of town but not necessarily
away from all the action. The Hilton is always going to be a good-quality
choice.
