HOTEL GRAND MARINA *****
G.L.
On
February 20, 2002, the dynamic city of Barcelona welcomed the
opening of the Eurostars Grand Marina Hotel. The combination of
the Mediterranean atmosphere, with some of the finest avantgarde
art, and an inviting marina breeze are only a few of the delights
that await every guest at the Grand Marina Hotel, located in the
Port Vell (Old Port) of Barcelona. Boasting a Five Star Deluxe
rating, it has directed its vocation to becoming the most elite
business center in Barcelona catering to the most demanding guest,
high level conventions and incentives.
The
magnificent views of the famous Ramblas, Maremagnum Complex and
the magical Gothic Quarter can be seen from all 8 floors.
The
World Trade Center complex is an international business center
with a unique architectural style, a large open air plaza, and
an exterior design reminiscent of the bridge of a large ship.
The
hotel building, with a total area of more than 200,000 square
feet, occupies the Western side of the World Trade Center, with
views of the city. The complex includes numerous meeting rooms,
offices, a VIP Club and various cafés and restaurants.
The
exquisite decoration of the Hotel is very relaxing, harmonizing
with the rest of the WTC complex in which it is integrated. It
stands out for its wide spaces and a pleasant terrace garden.
The
hotel enjoys outstanding views of the whole city of Barcelona
and its surrounding area, with Maremagnum, the Royal Yacht Club,
the Columbus Monument and the Ramblas in the foreground, just
a few minutes away, and Tibidabo Hill and Barcelona's northern
coast in the background.
The
area has an excellent transportation network, and the hotel is
also an excellent starting point for visits to the Gothic Quarter,
the Cathedral and the Picasso Museum, as well as the centrally-located
shopping districts of Plaça Catalunya and Passeig de Gràcia.
