The Hotel Rey Juan Carlos is a luxury urban resort in the heart of Barcelona. This 17 story glass atrium building was originally designed to show case the best that the city has to offer during the '92 Olympic games. Since then the hotel has continued to expand and improve facilities ensuring its position as a leader in modern luxury hotels. Service here is excellent with large numbers of friendly staff, in keeping with the hotel's professional reputation for comfort and relaxed luxurious living.

Barcelona itself is a lively Spanish city rich in Gaudi architecture, Catalonian culture and history, situated next to the Mediterranean Sea. If you decide to leave the four walls of Hotel Rey Juan Carlos, you could choose to explore Barcelona's most famous shopping districts Placa Catalunya and Passeig de Gracia which are only yards away. Alternatively the hotel is situated on Avenida Diagonal which hosts spectacular panoramic views of the city and coastline, making this spot a photographer's dream.

The facilities

Facilities here are plentiful, as befits the hotel's high standards of luxury. The Royal Club Fitness and Spa is nestled in the property's calming gardens and offers a wide range of treatments, as well as housing modern fitness equipment and two heated swimming pools. Arguably the most striking feature of the hotel is its glass fronted elevators which provide beautiful views over the city as guests journey to and from the hotel through out the day.

The rooms

Each of the Hotel Rey Juan Carlos' 433 rooms is conservatively and comfortably furnished. They come complete with individually controlled air conditioning perfect for escaping the hot and sticky Spanish heat, and views of Barcelona city.
