Review
Hotel Diagonal Barcelona
I don’t think you can fail to be impressed when you walk into the Silken Hotel Diagonal Barcelona. Such is the tranquil atmosphere and the beautifully thought out design elements which work together to make a streamlined, contemporary hotel. The hotel is in the heart of one of Barcelona’s important business districts and next to the un-missable gherkin-shaped Agbar Tower.
Hotel Facilities
The first thing you will see as you walk into hotel Diagonal is the neon-bright Bombay Sapphire display in the hotel lobby bar. Then to your left is a lounge area complete with computer and printer.
Follow the snaking reception and you will find another lounge area furnished with 60s pod chairs and other design classics. The hotel’s restaurant which serves international, Catalan and Basque specialties, is at the end along with the Tecla Café. The swimming pool can be found on the roof terrace which has views over to the Agbar Tower next door and all the way to the Sagrada Familia and beyond. There is also a small snack bar next to the pool.
The hotel has a car park with 90 spaces open 24 hours a day.

There are 5 modular rooms available in the hotel for all your events. There is over 400 metres squared of space which is fully equipped with Wi-Fi and audiovisual technology. There is also disabled access and lunch can be arranged.
Rooms
The motto of the hotel Diagonal is architecture, comfort and design, which is a mantra repeated in the 228 rooms of the hotel. There is a non-smoking floor, an executive floor and rooms for the disabled. The rooms are all sleek and design conscious. They all feature controlled air-conditioning and heating, coffee and tea making facilities, a minibar, a direct telephone line, Wi-Fi and satellite TV with Canal +.
 Hotel Location and Facilities
The hotel Diagonal is not located in the most picturesque area. It is a business district and fairly modern.
The stunning Agbar tower is next door and across the road is the Glories Tan Shopping complex which has a variety of restaurants  and cafes, shops, a cinema and a huge Carrefour supermarket.
You can also find cash machines and pharmacies within the complex.

Also in the area is the Sagrada familia, and even closer is the huge market of Les Encants which is a fascinating place to wander round.
