I was close to accepting a job offer finally, and I decided to treat myself to a holiday in Spain! I’m staying three nights in Barcelona before heading to Valencia, and besides the two nights with Hyatt for the Q1 promotion, I’m staying at Le Meridien<\/a> for one night as well for its more central location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hotel acts as a great base to explore Barcelona. It’s near the Universitat metro station, with many shops and restaurants nearby, and you can even walk to the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n

The receptionist lady is very friendly and professional. She welcomed me warmly, explained all the benefits and hotel facilities, as well as offered me a choice of different rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I remember correctly they are usually quite generous with room upgrade. Unfortunately there happens to be an international mobile conference going on in the city so they are a bit tight on availability. I chose a Premier Deluxe room on the first floor.<\/p>\n\n\n

Size-wise Premier Deluxe rooms are identical with the standard Deluxe rooms, but they are more recently refurbished.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

The sixth floor and higher appear to be a totally different building. Rooms look much nicer at least from the outside.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The hotel has rooftop terrace, with a (small) pool, jacuzzi and sauna \/ steam rooms. They are good enough for me.<\/p>\n\n\n

Breakfast is served in the lobby restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n

Spread is decent with quiche and churros!<\/p>\n\n\n

Lacking a club lounge and a proper swimming pool, Le Meridien Barcelona may not be my first choice of the city. The location is great though, and if I can fare a good upgrade I wouldn’t hesitate to come back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
