Hotel Le Meridien (jnr suites), Barcelona - Description

Location

Central located in the heart of the city, right on Barcelona's famous Las Ramblas, near the Gothic Quarter, and just a short walk from El Liceo Opera Theatre and la Boqueria.

Rooms

All 233 soundproofed rooms and suites (15 of which are jnr suites) have been recently renovated and are a blend between modern and traditional, where classic materials are used in contemporary lines. The new 'Meridien bed', the rain shower and the 42 inch plasma screen stand out for themselves. Individual air conditioning, interactive TV, safe, minibar, trouser press and iron board. There is also a 15 inch LCD in the bathroom, hair dryer and bathrobe. High speed internet access, tea and coffee making facilities are other features. A specially designed carpet which features the street plan of the city's 'Eixample' is an unique item which provides a feeling of Barcelona.

Restaurant

Le Meridien's Cent Onze restaurant and bar combines the very best of French tradition and Catalan creativity. It has a capacity of 120 covers and offers two semi-private dinning areas and an extensive wine list.

Exterior

This hotel has a renovated facade, with an excellent mixture of sandstone window arches and soft terracota coloured walls.

Lobby

The new reception and lobby area perfectly combines contemporary furnishings and cutting-edge materials with the main wrought iron staircase, hand-crafted in the early 1950s. Just a few of the new features include the natural wood chairs that exactly replicate Antonio Gaudi's work, contemporary designer lamps, natural leather sofas in vibrant colors, such as fire engine red, and a ceiling of evident Modernist inspiration with tiny mosaic stones echoing the waves of the Mediterranean.

General

This hotel, fully renovated from reception to rooms, has incorporated a brand new fully equipped fitness centre. A business centre, 24-hour room service, parking and laundry service are available. Help yourself with a free Illy coffee and personal ticket to Macba. Le Meridien is still the only hotel of its category located in Las Ramblas, and its unique position makes it an unforgettable experience for those who want to enjoy the best comfort and level of service in the Gothic Quarter.
