Discover Poble-Sec
Your trip starts here
A few steps away from Montjuïc Palace, you will find one of the most lively and attractive areas in Barcelona: Poble-Sec district. This used to be an extra muros area characterized by its marine spirit and the first expansion district of the city. As time went by, it became a space where multiculturality and local personality are present in every single street.
Our hotel is located in the centre of the district, in one of the most important streets of Barcelona: Paralelo Avenue. It is 1 km distance to Barcelona’s Port and a few steps away from the historical centre of the city: El Raval, Las Ramblas and Gothic district, as well as Montjuïc Park and Barcelona Congress Centre, two other obligatory visits. If you are looking for a hotel in Paralelo Avenue, we are the best option!
