Review Hotel Intercontinental Princesa Sofia Barcelona
The huge marble-clad lobby, complete with grand chandelier, spells 5 Star luxury from the moment you set foot in the Hotel Intercontinental Princesa Sofia Barcelona. That is if you hadn’t noticed the immaculate green lawn and suited doorman outside! This hotel is located in a busy financial district and is well suited to cater for business people who want comfort and luxury.
Hotel Facilities
The hotel Princesa Sofia restaurant, or “gastronomic space” as they call it, is called Contraste and has a decked outdoor terrace. There is a grill, buffet and a la carte menu, and also occasionally live music in the evening. For leisure activities there is a mini-gym that is open 24 hours a day. Or you can make use of the Aqua Diagonal Wellness centre which has pools, a Jacuzzi, sauna and massages. There is also an attached café and beauty parlour.

There is also a laundry service and in the lobby there are various shops and art galleries for your perusal.

Rooms
The Hotel Princesa Sofia is a heavyweight hotel which weighs in with 500 rooms and suites. The rooms are classically decorated in blue and ochre and have everything that you would expect from a 5 star hotel: minibar, voice mail, internet, marble bathrooms, satellite TV and safe boxes. The rooms are for the most part light as the hotel stands alone and there are rooms which face every direction.

The Hotel Princesa Sofia is located in the Les Corts area just off one of Barcelona’s main roads, Diagonal. Just opposite the hotel is a bank and a café. Outside the hotel is a news stand and just down the road there is a pizza restaurant, another café and a pharmacy. Everything you could need really. Across the road opposite the hotel is a cash point. The metro stop Maria Cristina is 3 minute walk and from there you can get straight into the centre of Barcelona in 20 minutes. Just past the metro stop is Corte Ingles, saviour to all foreigners and the place where you will find everything you thought you’d never be able to get in Spain. Also Camp Nou is a short walk away if you are interested in football.
