Review Evenia Rocafort Hotel Barcelona

Page Content

Evenia Rocafort Hotel
Evenia Rocafort Hotel is located just off Paral.lel, at the top of the area of Raval. It is a standard three star hotel that offers a convenient location for people attending conferences at the Fira de Barcelona convention centre. However, the local area offers more than just this - Paral.lel is a local (non tourist) street with some popular bars and restaurants in its small side streets. Plaça España is also home to the Palau Nacional de Catalunya - Barcelona's Palace.

The hotel itself is classic - its lobby area has marble floors and low lighting. There is a slightly nautical theme, with a wooden boat shaped front desk and windows on the doors like portholes in a ship. Wide pillars that have been painted silver run through the area.
