The Catalonia Rubens set in a residential area near Barcelona's world class medical centers Vall d'Hebro and Delfos. Easily accessible by car from the Ronda de Dalt ring road, it is also well connected via public transport to the city center, and just a short walk from Gaudi's amazing Parc Güell. Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, is situated on the Mediterranean coast, bound by the Collserola ridge and the rivers Besós and Llobregat. The city offers a warm, welcoming climate with pleasant temperatures year round. With a fierce pride in their local culture, natives of Barcelona have preserved Catalan, their regional language, alongside Spanish as the two official languages of the region. The city of Barcelona has recently seen a major growth spurt in its economy, architecture, and tourism industry, prompted in a large part by its hosting of the Olympic Games in 1992. The Catalonia Rubens was totally refurbished in 1999, and offers comfortable, modern facilities. Each of the hotel's 141 clean and cozy rooms is air conditioned and equipped with satellite cable television, direct dial phone and en suite bath facilities. The hotel has two conference and banquet rooms with a capacity of up to 110 people, and convenient parking facilities. Guests will love relaxing with a book in the hotel's top floor solarium. The Catalonia Rubens offers modern comfort at a very competitive rate, and is only minutes to fine dining, sight seeing, and entertainment venues.
