Famous Barcelona Hotels

Famous Barcelona Hotels
Barcelona is located on Spain's Iberian Peninsula, facing the Mediterranean Sea. One of the largest commercial and shipping ports in the Mediterranean, Barcelona is also known for its beautiful beaches and impressive architecture. Many buildings date from medieval times, while others reflect the modernist design of renowned Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi. Barcelona hosted the 1992 Summer Olympic Games and is still home for sporting events including the Cursa del Corte Ingles running race and the Spanish Formula 1 Grand Prix, held in neighboring Montmelo.

Hotel Duquesa De Cardona

This famous Barcelona Hotel was once a private residence, located in the maritime area of Barcelona where prominent families including the Montcadas, Queralts and Gualbes made their homes. Today, the hotel is completely refurbished and offers views of Montjuic Mountain and the Olympic Port. Gothic Quarter attractions including the Cathedral, Rambles and the Picasso Museum are within a ten-minute walk.
