Hotel Carlemany is a luxury hotel in Girona. Smart, contemporary and centrally-located, it's a relaxing place to stay for sightseers. Girona itself is a lively cultural destination, hailed as 'like Barcelona without the crowds'. If you choose to leave the four walls of Hotel Carlemany, take a walk through the old quarter of town to admire the mix of Romanesque and Medieval buildings.

The facilities

Facilities are small in scale but well done, in keeping with the hotel's four-star status. Head to El Pati Verd restaurant for a bite of contemporary Catalan cuisine, then choose from drinks at traditional Piano-Bar Vienna or more relaxed Cafeteria Terrazzo (which also serves light snacks).

The rooms

Each of Hotel Carlemany's 89 rooms are smart, polished and uniform. All come complete with superior Treca mattresses on beds, free Wi-Fi and Loewe flat-screen TVs. Book the Suite Carlemany for huge open plan spaces, an in-bedroom double bath with hydro jets and an iPod dock.
