Review AC Sants Hotel, Barcelona
Page Content
 |
The hotel's exterior is chic, with a large brown wall jutting out to a pyramid position. The hotel's lobby area is cast in a low lighting, creating a cosy feel to the area. The front desk sits to the left area of the lobby, behind a seating area. A large cream leather couch sits alongside a tube light that is twisted and turned into a writhing ball. A bar area to the right of the lobby is filled with individual leather seats and low black coffee tables.
The hotel's situation is particularly convenient for travellers due to its location close to the station. For tourists, it is a Metro journey from the touristic centre.
