The setting
This aparthotel is in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, on the western outskirts of Barcelona, near the Fira exhibition centre. Since this is a neighbourhood where life goes on at a leisurely pace—in contrast to the hustle and bustle of the Old City—you’ll be able to sleep soundly here even at night. Since the main attractions are just a few metro stops away, you can head out into the city whenever you like, even though the hotel is right on a quiet street. Between sightseeing trips, you can take a short break at the local cafes and bars, all within walking distance.
What to expect
The apartment-style rooms are equipped with a refrigerator, a hair dryer, and a safe, and free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel. The ground floor features a pool where you can cool off after a hot day in Barcelona. For those who prefer to work out rather than melt in the heat, there is a fitness centre with a gym. The hotel features a bar, a restaurant, and a café where you can have coffee or enjoy a drink late into the night. Parking spaces are available for guests arriving by car.
Things to do nearby
To explore Barcelona’s harbour district, head to the nearby Zona Franca. Also nearby is La Boqueria Market, with its stalls selling jamón and fruit, as well as a bar counter that’s very popular at lunchtime. From there, La Rambla stretches toward the sea—the perfect spot for an evening stroll, during which you can enjoy a few tapas. The Fira Exhibition Centre is right next door, which is especially convenient if you’ve come to the city to attend an exhibition.
Best for
It’s perfect for couples who want to enjoy Barcelona at a leisurely pace. Guests can enjoy spacious, apartment-style rooms, a pool that’s perfect for hot days, and convenient access to the city centre. It’s also a smart choice for visitors to the Fira exhibition, as well as for drivers who want to park their car and then take the metro.
How to get to the hotel
It takes about 15 minutes to reach Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport (named after Josep Taradellas) by car; you can easily get there by taxi or by a pre-booked car. It takes about the same amount of time to get from the airport to L'Hospitalet by train or metro. Barcelona Sants, a major transportation hub for high-speed trains (AVE) from Madrid and other cities, is easily accessible by metro. If you’re arriving by car, parking is available at the airport.

Your 2 days, loosely planned
Suggestions, not orders. Tour ideas to mix and match for your trip.
Market mornings and La Rambla
First, have a cup of coffee at a café on the complex grounds, and then take the metro to the city centre. Spend the morning, take a leisurely stroll through La Boqueria Market and buy some jamón, olives, and fresh fruit—authentic Catalan snacks. From there, you’ll stroll along La Rambla toward the harbour and wander into the side streets of the Gothic Quarter if anything interesting catches your eye. Late in the afternoon, you’ll return to the hotel, take a dip in the pool, and then have dinner at one of the nearby restaurants.
Zona Franca and a slower afternoon
Head back to the hotel to work up a sweat in the gym or take another dip in the pool, and in the evening, head out into the city to enjoy some tapas. If there’s an event taking place at the “If Fira” at that time, it’s only about a five-minute walk away. If not, enjoy one last leisurely stroll through the quiet streets of this neighbourhood.

FAQ
How many days is enough for Barcelona?
In three or four days, you’ll be able to take your time exploring the main attractions. Spend one day in the Gothic Quarter and on La Rambla, one day visiting Gaudí’s monuments, one day at the beach or on Montjuïc, and the remaining day to strolling through the markets, sampling tapas, or enjoying a leisurely morning. If you limit yourself to certain areas of the city, even a short trip of one or two nights will suffice, but there will surely be plenty of places you’ll want to return to.
Is it better to visit Madrid or Barcelona?
It depends on what you're looking for. In addition to beaches, Art Nouveau architecture, and an old town that's easy to explore on foot, Barcelona also boasts easy access to the sea. Madrid—the country’s capital—impresses with its grand squares, world-class museums, and a diverse selection of tapas, as well as a nightlife that goes on until late into the night. First-time visitors to Spain often choose Barcelona to admire the coastline and Gaudí’s architecture, while travellers returning to Spain tend to appreciate Madrid’s deeper charm.
What is considered the prettiest city in Spain?
Seville is a city most often mentioned for its Moorish architecture, orange trees, and the Alcázar. Granada, with the Alhambra, is also a strong contender, while Barcelona itself, thanks to its charm—combining the sea, hills, and Gaudí’s architecture—is winning over more and more fans. What is considered beautiful in Spain is a matter of personal taste. Even smaller cities, such as Toledo, Córdoba, and San Sebastián al, have their own devoted fans.
What are the top 3 things to do in Barcelona?
See the Sagrada Família and at least one other Gaudí site such as Park Güell or Casa Batlló; wander the Gothic Quarter and La Rambla, stopping at Boqueria Market for lunch; and spend time by the sea at Barceloneta. On site, the aparthotel has a pool, a fitness centre and a gym for downtime between city trips.
What is special to buy in Barcelona?
Discover Catalan designer goods, espadrilles from manufacturers with a rich heritage, ceramics featuring Art Nouveau patterns, and food items that make perfect souvenirs—such as jamón, turrón, olive oil, and vermouth. La Boqueria Market and the smaller markets in the surrounding area are the perfect places to find great deals, and the streets around the Gothic Quarter are lined with many small independent shops offering leather goods, jewelry, and home decor.
