Hotel Location and Facilities

The hotel's location may prove to be one of its most attractive features to tourists. It is located on a road that comes off of Plaça de Catalunya. This Plaza sits at the top of the Ramblas - Barcelona's most famous street. This street is popular due to its street entertainers, souvenir shops and terraces. Be warned that food and drink on this strip will be more expensive than at places just off the Ramblas and not necessarily good quality due to its popularity with tourists.

El Triangle Shopping Centre

The hotel is located a 1 minute walk from the Triangle shopping centre. This is a small but modern shopping centre containing a FNAC (music and technology shop), Sephora (make-up and cosmetics shop) and a Habitat (home furnishings shop). It also contains chains such as Häagen-Dazs and Subway.

Those looking for a more authentic Barcelona experience can head down one of the streets opposite the hotel such as Calle Tallers, into the heart of Raval. This area is known for being the most rough and ready section of Barcelona's old town, but it contains many gems. It is popular amongst locals for its trendy bars, independent shops and small galleries. It is the home of the MACBA modern art museum and the CCCB centre of contemporary culture.

In the other direction a more affluent part of town can be found. The hotel is a 5 minute walk from Passeig de Gràcia. This wide street is paved with patterned paving stones and lined with ornate wrought iron street lamps. It is one of Barcelona's major shopping locations and is the home of many designer stores such as Gucci, Prada and Burberry.

In a nutshell

HLG CityPark Pelayo Hotel Barcelona is small but sweet - centrally located with affordable rates. Its clean and bright interior sets an example for other hotels in the area where central location is often an excuse for shabbiness. The small space and lack of amenities may not appeal to those looking for a luxury hotel experience.
