This hotel (SOHO) is great for many reasons

We would like to tell how this hotel is fabulous and how Barcelona has a lot to offer to any tourist in the world. It was just amazing! We spent 8 nights at the SOHO Hotel in July 2010

This hotel is great for many reasons:

1. The location is great; It is a 5 minutes walk from the University and about 8 minutes from Plaza Cataluyna. It is half-way between Sagrada Familia and Cathedral of Barcelona. There is a metro station, Urgell, just in front of the hotel (or very very close).

2. The staff is wonderful and always willing to help. You could learn and practice Catalan with them for those who like languages. They are fluent in English and Spanish.

3. The room was great. It is rated a 3-stars hotel. Indeed it is a 4-stars hotel without a doubt at the price of a 3-stars.

4. We took breakfast for two mornings. The food is great and the menu is quite extensive for a breakfast.

5. We were in Barcelona when the weather was between 35 to 38 celsius for the whole week. Before going to dinner, we enjoyed the big jacuzzi (or the small swimming pool) each day. This facility is again just great.

6. After a long travel from Canada, we took the AEROBUS at 5.05 euros from the airport to the hotel. No taxi is needed. The bus goes on Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, the same street of the hotel. So you just need to watch the numbers to be dropped practically in front of the hotel. SOHO hotel is located at 543-545 Gran Via.

7. The hotel and the room were very clean. The design of the room is unique. The air conditionned worked perfectly well

8. It was a special occasion as we celebrated my wife’s birthday. If you have a chance, buy tickets to see a concert or a show at the Palau Musica Catalina (metro Urquinaona). We went to see a concert of spanish/catalan guitar. The price was reasonable.

9. I would recommend to anyone a stay at the SOHO hotel with no reservation.

Hotel Jazz - Great Hotel!

Just returned from a 6 night stay. Great location - metro stop, Placa Catalunya a block away, restaurants, anything you could need within a block! Hotel and rooms are very clean and modern, large bed for a European hotel, great bathroom. Staff are friendly and helpful, free wifi in your room (get passcode from front desk), were able to take advantage of roof top pool every day after sightseeing! Yes you could hear the subway rumble but we were on the 7th floor so it wasn’t too bad, noise from the street could be disturbing to some but hey you’re in Barcelona! Took advantage of the breakfast buffet, nice selection, can request scrambled eggs or omelettes, pastries, fruit, juice, etc. a good and convenient way to start your touring day and was reduced to 10.70 euros per person. Great hotel, yes we were Jazzed! With its reasonable rates, I would definitely recommend this hotel - and it’s the first hotel that the rooms look exactly like the hotel photos!

Great service at Hotel Granvia Barcelona

Just wanted to thank for the great service during our recent stay at your Hotel Granvia in Barcelona.

We were just finishing up a Rick Steve’s Tour and wanted to spend a few days revisiting Barcelona on our own. When we arrived, receptionist couldn’t find our reservation but he quickly found us rooms and offered to give us complimentary breakfast the next day.

The hotel itself was a grand old building with a beautiful Salon and a lovely patio. We loved the location which put us so close to Placa de Catalunya, buslines and the metro. The breakfast was an excellent start to the day and everyone was so helpful answering our questions and making suggestions.

We look forward to returning to Barcelona again and will recommend the hotel to our friends.
Muchas Gracias.

Jazz Hotel - Perfetto!

E’ la terza volta che visito Barcellona ed ancora una volta mi ha incantato! Purtroppo però in questi ultimi anni i prezzi degli alberghi sono notevolmente aumentati. Per rimanere in zona centrale ed alloggiare in un bell’albergo si è costretti a spendere delle belle cifre. Dopo una lunga ricerca ho scoperto il Jazz Hotel.
E’ senza dubbio un bell’albergo, moderno e dotato di ogni comfort. Ha un piacevolissimo solarium con piscina situato sul tetto dell’edificio dove, circondati dai tetti di Barcellona, ci si può piacevolmente rilassare e rinfrescare dopo le lunghe camminate che la città merita.
C’è il wi-fi gratuito in tutta la struttura e il personale è gentile e disponibile.
La camera standard e sufficientemente comoda e così anche il bagno.
La posizione è ottima, a due passi da P.za Catalunya e dalla metro.
Sicuramente un ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo.

Experience at Hotel Barcelona Jazz

Just returned from an amazing 3 day stay in Barcelona - our first trip to this beautiful city was made perfect by the friendly staff, great location and lovely room at the Hotel Jazz. Our room had a small balcony overlooking the street from where we could watch the city begin to wake up in the morning sunshine. An appetising, fresh and plentiful breakfast awaited and set us up for the long days of sightseeing, shopping and eating. Barcelona is a a city we hope to return to soon - there is so much to see and do we felt we only scratched the surface. I would not hesitate to recommend the city or the Jazz hotel!

Fashion as seen by Outumuro

Hotel Granvia is one of the favourite sets of the photographer

Under the heading “Outumuro. Looks” Disseny Hub Barcelona has put on display more than 200 images by fashion photographer, Manuel Outumuro. The retrospective exhibition, which can be seen until 25 April, covers twenty years of the photographer’s career

 All the top Spanish models have posed before Outumuro’s lense, such as Laura Ponte, Judit Mascó and Martina Klein, whose first photo was taken by him. “We are practically family” he said.

International models have also posed for Outumuro, including many famous figures, such as Penélope Cruz, Rossy de Palma, Alaska, Diane Kruger and Luz Casal, among many others.

Manuel Outumuro fuses the spirit of classicism with a search for elegance, an elegance which portrays femininity in its truest form. The photographer is drawn towards women’s fashion and the only job he ever rejected was taking photos of jeans. His images are timeless, though the photographer tells us that he works without looking for a particular style. “I take photos as I feel them” he says.

Outumuro’s influences are vast, from Harper’s Bazaar magazines of the forties and fifties to the world of cinema and literature.

Hotel Granvia commemorates this year its 75th anniversary. Stablished on 1935 in the former Palace of Serra-Chopitea family (built in 1870), this hotel has been part of Barcelona’s history and has seen all the majors events of the last century in the city. Its unbeatable location next to Passeig de Gràcia and Plaza Catalunya ensures the best of Barcelona to all its guests.

What: Outumuro. Looks
Photographic exhibition
Where: Disseny Hub Barcelona
Montcada, 12 - Ciutat Vella
When: until April 25th, 2010

Lovely Christmas time at Granvía Hotel

My family and I lodged in your facility from 23 to 27 December 2009. If I spent a lovely Christmas time it was also because of the excellent standards of the Granvía Hotel. Apart from the cost-effectiveness convenience, I very much appreciated the warm welcome and the friendly approach of your staff. The Hotel has a lot of precious historical decorations, with a lovely huge living room on the first floor (where we took fantastic pictures) and internet facilities in two areas. Our two double rooms were nice and clean, with old style furniture and appliances but very cosy and functional. It is located in a strategic position, very practical for all tourists: the underground station very near, Catalunya square and the Ramblas behind the corner. Plenty of choices for breakfast, with an excellent traditional jamón! We would recommend it to both youngsters and families. It was a bit sad to leave…and we will certainly come back!
