General Hotel Inormation

The Grand Hotel Central is located approximately seven miles from the Barcelona Airport. Local attractions include Sagrada Familia, Liceo, Las Ramblas, Costa Brava, and Gothic Quarter. It is an elegant building dated 1926, which has been completely renovated. The guests of the hotel will enjoy the most amazing views of the Gothic Quarter and the Cathedral. The hotel amenities include restaurant, meeting rooms, and front desk.

This hotel recently opened in 2006 and is situated very close to La Plaza de Catedral and only a short distance from both the port and Las Ramblas. It is also located between two very popular tourist areas known as the Gothic quarter and the Born. The Born has many wheelchair accessible bars and restaurants in comparison to other areas of Barcelona and is also where the Picasso Museum may be found.

The hotel itself is very modern with a minimalist style to it, comprising of subtle lighting, decoration and music. The entrance of the hotel has a revolving doorway with a button to slow down the doors for wheelchair users. For wheelchairs that are slightly larger there is also a conventional door next to it.

The foyer of the hotel is very impressive with high ceilings, a small library and a quiet seating area. There are two lifts up to the bedrooms and also down to the restaurant and bar. They also climb to the very top level of the building where there is a large roof terrace and swimming pool with fantastic views of Parc Citudella and the church of Santa Maria del Mar.

This is a great hotel which has much to offer disabled people, even though the swimming pool isn?t specifically adapted, it is accessible which is very rare in Barcelona. It?s a very central hotel with a great location and access to the main tourist centre of the city.

This hotel has a great wheelchair accessible roof terrace with views of the church Santa Maria del Mar, Torre Agbar and the sea. Although the swimming pool is not adapted it maybe possible for some people with disabilities to use it.
