| Hotel Sant Agustí |
|
Hotel Sant Agustí is located a short walk from Las Ramblas and Plaza Catalunya, while just next door you’ll find the Liceu Opera House and the Boqueria Market. The latter, in all its Art Nouveau glory, sells food galore that ranges from breads, pastries and pasta to fish, game and seafood. Finally, if you want to get further afield, the Metro Liceu is also nearby. Built in 1720, the impressive building that’s now the Sant Agusti was once the Convent of Saint Augustine. Surviving 120 years as a convent, it then became the Sant Agusti – the first hotel in Barcelona. Today, following a recent renovation, it now houses 77 comfortable bedrooms, a restaurant and coffee shop. As you enter the reception area, of this Barcelona 3* hotel, the recent renovation is instantly noticeable. Here, you’ve got chic black sofas and a crisp, white ceiling that scoops and melds with rustic arches and palatial columns. It all effortlessly fuses together to create a super-modern look.
