Hotel Paral·lel: ottima posizione a Barcellona

Ho fruito dell’Hotel Paral·lel nella prima decade di settembre. Ha un’ottima posizione, infatti si trova a pochi passi dalla metro e dalla fermata di diverse ed importanti linee di autobus. Se qualcuno lo desidera può persino raggiungere a piedi La Rambla 600/700 mts e poco più il Monumento a Colombo ed il porto. L’Albergo risulta catalogato 2 stelle ma, NON vi fate ingannare, di sicuro ne ha qualcuna in più.

Le habitazioni sono grandi, accoglienti e moderne, il bagno è ottimo, il tutto con una pulizia eccellente ed il personale valido e disponibile. Vorrei consigliarlo a chi cerca il meglio senza buttare i soldi…

The whitest party: Sensation Barcelona

After a spectacular world premiere with an audience of 40,000 in Amsterdam in July, the new edition is going to fill the Palau Sant Jordi with people dressed in white and ready to dance to this new festival concept.

On the 8th of October 2011, Sensation will make its return to Barcelona. The venue, Palau Sant Jordi, will be transformed into Innerspace, making it the second city to host Sensation’s latest theme after the premiere in the Amsterdam Arena.

Sensation started in Amsterdam in the year 2000. Since then, over 1,5 million visitors in seventeen countries have experienced what is arguably the world’s most spectacular dance and music phenomenon. Each year, Sensation tours the globe with a completely new show. Consistently taking the acclaimed theme ‘be part of the night, dress in white’ to new heights, Sensation’s aim is to bring a positive message to a growing global audience.

Barcelona will be dressing up in white with Sensation Innerspace, a new, exclusive event dedicated to dance music. Wally López, Sharam, Fedde Le Grand and Mr White are just some of the artists who will be bringing Barcelona the very best in electronic music at the moment. Máxima FM, the media partner for Sensation Barcelona, will broadcast the event.

Allocation near Palau Sant Jordi can be found at B-Hotel and Hotel Barcelona Universal.

Hotel Jazz: Recommended

It was the first time for me at Jazz Hotel, Barcelona. It was a really great discover!!

A warm and efficient welcome; a wonderful, brand new and design room; a full and succulent breakfast.

More the hotel is located in a few steps of the centre of Barcelona, just near Placa Catalunya et Ramblas (and in my case, for the “Merce festival week-end activities”). You go out the aerobus and you can enjoy your stay some minutes later. So great!

More? Enjoy the sun-deck swinning pool and have a look in the mirror of the lift…

En all that for a very competitive price!
I really recommand these hotel!! Don’t hesitate for your next stay.

I dont’ understand why it is only rated as a 3 stars and not as a 4 stars.

We chose to stay at Hotel Europark

We chose to stay at Hotel Europark from so many choices available, and after looking at the pictures which show how attractive this hotel is. However the web pictures do not tell the full story and convey the experience of meeting the wonderful staff. Every one of them are happy to be of assistance and to go out of their way to be helpful. When my wife had to go into hospital the staff were so supportive and sympathetic to me, and the help I received at that time was a great comfort to me. Thank you all very much, and I hope that my wife and I can return to the Hotel Europark very soon.

Barcelona Electric Mopeds

The company Honda has given Barcelona City Council, for free, seventeen electric mopeds intended for various areas’ municipal services, including mobility and environment.

That means Barcelona is to become the first and only city in Europe to act as a testing ground for such vehicles, before they go on sale in the continent.

For his part, the Chairman of the company Montesa Honda SA, Yukitoshi Fujisaka, explained they chose our city because “motorbikes in Barcelona are an essential feature for transport and mobility“, and pointed out that it was “an important step towards extending zero-emission motorbikes to Europe“.

The tests, which are to be supervised by the RACC, who have also received a free moped, will be used for bringing about the appropriate adaptations to the model, designed for use at work, such as delivery and messaging services.

Aspects will be assessed such as its range, technical incidents and opportunities for improvement.

These mopeds, free of CO2 emissions, have seating for one person and a range of 34 km. Their batteries can be charged with a normal charger within three and a half hours, or with a fast charger within 30 minutes.

New fast chargers have also been provided, as well as eighteen portable charger and eighteen current transformers. Source: www.bcn.es

Hotel Europark: consigliato questo hotel

Ho soggiornato per 11 notti nell’Hotel Europark. Sono stata a Barcellona per motivi di lavoro ed ho scelto l’hotel dopo lunghe consultazioni in internet soprattutto per la vicinanza al luogo di lavoro e per le ottime recensioni lette. Le aspettative non sono state deluse. La stanza era ben arredata, silenziosa ed adeguatamente spaziosa, decisamente confortevole dopo una giornata di lavoro e tutto sommato sufficientemente luminosa. La pulizia impeccabile, il bagno sempre in ordine, con la vasca dotata di un pratico ed igienico vetro scorrevole, al posto delle solite tende impermeabili. Il cambio degli asciugamani avveniva regolarmente ed il rifornimento degli accessori era puntuale e generoso.

Ho apprezzato la colazione ricca e varia sia nelle proposte dolci che salate, ottimamente servita da un personale attento e gentile.
Notevole la disponibilità e la discrezione del personale. La possibilità di accedere ad internet è stata utilissima e la posizione dei computer ha consentito la dovuta privacy. I prezzi sono accettabili, il costo della colazione è un po’ alto anche se rientra nella media degli hotel a Barcellona. Le modalità di pagamento potrebbero essere più flessibili.

Ho già consigliato questo hotel all’amministrazione per cui ho lavorato a Barcellona.

Hyperphotos: A fantastical Barcelona

Sagrada Família, Palau de la Música, Pedrera and the Cathedral are the most photographed monuments in the city, but through the lens of the French artist Jean-François Rauzier they are transformed into magical and mysterious places.

Rauzier uses a technique based on creating a collage from various instant snapshots to create these hyperphotos, thirty of which are included in the exhibition Voyages Extraordinaires Barcelona, at the Diocesan Museum of Barcelona. There you will discover a fantastical and surprising city.

Rauzier is the creator of  hyperphoto, whereby you can cope with the impossible: combine the infinitely large with the infinitely small in an image outside of time. Using a technique that involves creating an image using a collage of more than 800 photos.

Hotel Jazz: Great rooms, great pool, great price

This is our second time spending a week in Barcelona at the Hotel Jazz. For the price it’s unbeatable. Comfortable rooms with contemporary Spanish design. Great rooftop pool – not huge, but not a puddle like at some other design hotels like Cram. The rooftop pool has enough comfortable loungers, enough nice fluffy towels, and a nice little bar.

Very helpful and friendly desk staff. Great central location right in between the main square (Plaza de Catalunya, direct bus to airport, Corte Ingles department store) and the Eixample/Gracia shopping, restaurant and nightlife area.
