An oasis of Spanish culture nestled in the artsy El Born district, the Motel One Barcelona-Ciutadella combines the allure of the traditional architecture with the vibrancy of locally crafted designer furniture. The hotel's design was inspired by the surrounding flora and fauna, captured in the verdant headboard mural by Catalan artist Lara Costafreda. Its lobby, a remarkable marriage of earth and sea-hued tiles, carved woods, and abstract lighting, invites you to unwind amidst mesmerising ambience.
The location of Motel One proves advantageous for both leisure and business travellers. A short 5-minute walk from Arc de Triomf and just over 2 km from Passeig de Gràcia, you'll be close to must-see attractions like Sagrada Familia and Barcelona Cathedral. For business travellers, the 3-star Motel One Barcelona-Ciutadella offers convenient access to the International Convention Center and the Fira Barcelona Exhibition Centre via a 30-minute public transport ride.
Aptly reflecting the property's commitment to comfort and style, each of the 301 rooms at Motel One Barcelona-Ciutadella is a modern, air-conditioned haven complete with a private bathroom, free WiFi, and an interactive TV. The rooms' white tiled bathrooms are equipped with the 3-star Motel One Barcelona-Ciutadella's exclusive organic toiletries line. Premium bedding and a signature teal blue palette tie the decor together, ensuring a peaceful night after exploring Barcelona.
The hotel prides itself on its dining scene that draws heavily on regional products. Wake up to a buffet breakfast featuring a spread of freshly baked breads, cheeses, and deli meats - served until 11 am in the capacious lobby. Dusk heralds the opening of the gin bar, offering an exquisite selection of 35 gins and seven tonics sourced from across Europe. And, if relaxation tops your priorities list, the Motel One Barcelona-Ciutadella is just steps from Ciutadella park, a perfect place for a leisurely stroll. For those preferring to stay within the premises, the outdoor courtyard styled after a typical Barcelona outdoor space, and the L-shaped rooftop terrace to lounge enveloped by the panoramic views of Ciutadella Park, the sea, and the Barcelona skyline, adds further to the attractiveness of this affordably chic property.
The helpful, yet unobtrusive reception staff prides themselves on Motel One's DIY ethos, ensuring that help is there when you need it. The property also stands out in terms of accessibility, with eleven rooms fitted with safety features for guests requiring wheelchair assistance.
