Review Casa Camper Hotel Barcelona
Page Content
 |
The Camper Hotel in Barcelona sits deep in the heart of the area of Raval. This area is known for being slightly rough at times, but also increasingly trendy and popular amongst tourists. It is the home of many museums, art galleries, shop and bars. Casa Camper Hotel does not have a classic hotel facade. It lurks inside an old building, with shiny red sliding doors, that work well in contradiction with the oldness of the building. It is not easy to find the entrance door itself.
At the entrance there is an air of exclusivity that seems strangely at odds with the open-minded approach of the hotel. There is a key system ensuring that nobody can enter the lobby area of the building without a key for the hotel. This means that the lobby area is serene, which comes as a shock following the hustle-bustle of the street directly outside. A forest of bikes hang above your head. There is an air of an artist's studio or workplace, with large, functional maps of Barcelona along the walls. Across the back wall, large photographs of colourful Spanish shop facades have been printed onto the wall.
