Hotel Balmes Barcelona
The Balmes Hotel Barcelona is another hotel in the impressive Derby Group that is well-known for smart, well-designed hotels. The Balmes has an excellent location, near both Passeig de Gràcia, lined with designer shops and architecturally stunning buildings, and leafy, café- filled Rambla de Catalunya. The hotel is quite elegant, with African masks and tribal textiles filling the lobby, and a pool outside.

Next to the lobby area is a bar and the "Bal" coffee shop. The hotel has a Mediterranean restaurant, "Balmes", which is spacious and light. There is parking, a laundry and an ironing service. Dogs are allowed in the hotel. However, the best thing about the hotel is the outside garden, with a terrace seating area and a swimming pool which is lovely in the summer and a bonus for a 3 Star hotel. There is also a computer in the reception area for the guests to use the internet and Wi-Fi. If needed the hotel also has a courtesy smart car for its guests.
