Extraordinary hotels - best choice for your unusual city break in Barcelona

Barcelona Rock Barcelona Rock is a very unusual hotel that was open specifically for travellers who love rock-climbing. Owners of the hotel 100% succeeded in that. The hotel looks like a hundred metre high mountain, the top of which could be reached by both newbie and professional alpinists. Travellers can even sleep on one of the brows. Those, who have enough guts to sleep in the open air on such a “mountain”, will be securely tied to the rock. Without a doubt, Barcelona Rock is a very creative and unusual hotel, but it offers all traditional services and amenities that travellers would expect from a hotel – a café, a cinema, 50 guestrooms and a spa centre wait for new guests.

This ultra-modern hotel with high quality service only proves the desire of W Hotels to become one of the leading brands in Western Europe. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

Omm Hotel One more unusual hotel, Omm Hotel is distinguished by its unusual creative design and is conveniently located in the heart of the city. Its façade reminds of an open book, which pages rustle with a breath of wind. These book pages cover balconies, protecting privacy of hotel guests, but allow sunrays enter guestrooms. Behind such an unusual façade you will find elegant modern design. Dark halls make a striking contrast with light and spacious guestrooms with a sophisticated lightning system. Planning of the rooms has no excessive details, but that doesn’t harm comfort in any way. Bathrooms with transparent walls only let more light penetrate the rooms, making them look bigger and lighter. The name of the hotel itself – Omm – is an unusual relaxing sound of a mantra.

Architects of Lagranja Design decided to restore an old building and made the style of the 60s-70s of the previous century the main concept of a new hotel. The choice of the concept was not random as that was the time when the tourist industry of the city was yet making its first steps. All furniture in the hotel was made specifically for this project. Guestroom doors are used as exhibition space for various thematic posters – culture, society, folklore and so on. The lobby is decorated with Seat 600 – the first Spanish car, the receptionist desk is made of old suitcases, and the tabletop is covered with pesetas, the old Spanish currency. The hotel follows the philosophy of the chain and draws attention of travellers with its pleasant pricing, individuality and exclusivity.

Arts Barcelona Arts Barcelona is a grandiose building with original architecture, which guestrooms offer fantastic views of the Mediterranean Sea and Port Olympic. Its unique shape resembling an open shell has made the hotel one of the most famous places in the city. A large private gallery is one more drawing point. The gallery exhibits more than a thousand pieces of modern Spanish art. Minimalist design of guestrooms is an example of elegance and contemporary style. Guests will also enjoy VIP service and convenient location – just 100 metres away from a sandy beach.
