AMENITIES & SERVICES
|
|
What to expect: This 19th century building sits on the narrow, and therefore reasonably quiet, Jaume I street. The turquoise lobby is access by a semi-circular automatic door and has a white marble floor and historical depictions of the city. Above the lobby is the frosted-glass wall of the mezzanine level buffet. Amenity highlights: The hotel provides leisure travelers with a centrally-located base two minutes from the cathedral and Roman Wall, five minutes from the Picasso Museum and 10 minutes from the sea. A buffet serves breakfast every morning and large blue sofas in the lobby and bar provide relief to weary legs after a hard day’s sightseeing. Insider tip: A walk around the Roman Wall and Cathedral at night can serve to enhance the imposing effect of the Gothic architecture. The narrow streets are often alive with the haunting sound of street performers playing classical music, sometimes unseen around one of the many corners.

|
The hotel’s lobby has two comfortable seating areas. One is at the front with windows overlooking the street. The other, with sofas, armchairs and complimentary newspapers, is by the bar just a few steps down from the lobby. The front desk is open 24 hours and can arrange dry cleaning and help with organizing sightseeing tours.
