If you are seeking an architecturally ultramodern designed hotel with striking neon lighted exterior and even more striking interior design, then look no further than the Silken Diagonal Hotel Barcelona, which was inaugurated in 2004.
The 4 stars hotel is situated only minutes away from the bustling center of Barcelona. You can find the metro station (Plaza de las Glorias) just around the corner and the tram stops outside the door, so access to Barcelona's sights couldn't be easier. Private transfer to and from the airport are available and can be arranged at time of booking with the hotel. Nearby also are several bus lines to whisk you off to any part of the city. The friendly and helpful personnel will be more than happy to direct you to which bus to use for your desired destination in the city.
The Silken Diagonal has 240 rooms with a modern decor of wood that is clean and spacious, including a flat screen digital satellite TV, individually controlled air conditioning and heating units. Bring your laptop as every room includes a safe that is large enough to hold it safely. All rooms offer a huge floor to the ceiling window with a view of the city as your backdrop or a glimpse of the Mediterranean Sea in the near distance.
The bathrooms are ultra modern with a glass enclosed shower/tub combo. The bathroom also has several glass walls but include semi-transparent moving walls to provide privacy. In the bathroom, you will find good quality toiletries, shaving cream, dental products, and many others.
Fine dinning of Basque and Catalunya style gourmet cooking can be found in the Piano Room. You have a choice of eating indoors or al fresco on an outdoor terrace. Other dining options are the Tecla Cafe, opened until 11PM, which also serves a hot and cold breakfast buffet each day.
The roof terrace is great place for chilling out after a day of sightseeing. A rooftop pool makes for a nice amenity to plunge in on a hot day and perk you up for even more Barcelona activities. Besides revitalizing, you'll obtain the best views of the city from the pool, so make sure you bring your camera.
There is a shopping mall across the street and besides fine shopping, it offers numerous eating facilities and is a convenient stop off to supply yourself with anything that you forgot to bring from home.
This hotel makes for a very warm and comfortable stay offering many desired features in modern surroundings.
