Hotel Location and Facilities
The Hotel Gran Via has a central location just 2 minutes from Passeig de Gràcia and a metro stop of the same name. Passeig de Gràcia is one of Barcelona's most popular streets, always full of people enjoying Gaudí's buildings and perusing the top-quality shops. Plaça de Catalunya and Las Ramblas are 10 minutes away on foot. Closer to home there is a bingo hall right next to the hotel. A cash point is just across the road, and next to that is an internet café. If you need any last minute medication then head onto Passeig de Gràcia where you will find a pharmacy at number 26. For any food I would go to Corte Inglés which is on Plaça de Catalunya and is an international department store.
