HCC Regente Hotel

On Rambla de Catalunya in Barcelona's shopping and business strip, just a short stroll from Passeig de Gràcia, Casa Batlló and Casa Milà. The city-center hotel is about 0.5 mi from Plaça de Catalunya and roughly 15.3 km from Barcelona El Prat Airport.

Housed in the modernist Casa Evarist Juncosa (built 1913) with its original colorful glass and wrought iron, the hotel was fully renovated in 2012. Inside you'll find 79 air-conditioned rooms that mix contemporary fittings with classic bones — minibars, LED TVs, safes, desks and private bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and complimentary toiletries.

Enjoy a seasonal outdoor pool (open in summer), a sun terrace and a solarium, plus a gym and on-site casino. There's a poolside bar and two bars/lounges, concierge service and complimentary wireless internet — great for city stays where you want comfort and easy access to attractions.

The hotel offers a business center and two meeting rooms, along with conference facilities, dry cleaning/laundry services and complimentary newspapers in the lobby. Free Wi-Fi keeps you connected while you work or explore.

Fuel up with a buffet breakfast served daily (7 AM–11 AM, for a fee), grab a quick bite at the snack bar/deli or linger in the on-site restaurant and café. Room service is available during limited hours, and drinks are easy at the poolside bar or the hotel's lounges.
