Barcelona Modernist
The Condal City is famous for its many key works of the Modernist movement, such as the Arc de Triomphe and the bench-lamps of Paseo de Gracia by Pere Falqués, the Hospital de Sant Pau i la Santa Creu and the Palau de la Música Catalana, both by Lluís Domènech i Montaner; and the Casa Amatller and the Casaramona/CaixaForum, by Puig i Cadafalch. Stay at our hotels in Barcelona and enjoy the authentic modernist atmosphere.
Gaudí's Barcelona
Antoni Gaudí is the foremost figure in Catalan architecture. His buildings are part of the fabric of Barcelona, such as Casa Batlló on Paseo de Gracia; Casa Milá, Casa Vicens, his first significant commission in the profession; or Park Güell, a public park that perfectly reflects his overflowing imagination. Staying at SM Hotel Sant Antoni and SM Hotel Teatre Auditori, you can enjoy the Sagrada Familia in all its splendor just a few minutes’ walk away.
Beaches
The beaches of Barcelona constitute a magnificent natural space where we can come into contact with the sea, the sun, and the sand. They have a coastline of 4.5 km, perfect for practicing water activities such as surfing, sailing, kayaking, or kite surfing. Nova Icària Beach, in the center of the coast, is ideal for beach volleyball lovers, while the beaches of Bogatell, Mar Bella, Nova Mar Bella, and Llevant offer many leisure possibilities, thanks to their beach bars and sports facilities. On the other hand, the beaches of San Sebastià and La Barceloneta are the oldest and most traditional, with sports clubs of great relevance. All of them are located less than 3 km from our SM Hotels.
La Rambla
La Rambla is the perfect reflection of the history and customs of Barcelona and its people. Some of the most popular spaces and buildings in the city can be found there, such as La Plaza Real, the Gran Teatro del Liceo, the Mercado de la Boquería, the “Rambla dels Ocells” or “Rambla de los pájaros,” the Real Academia de Ciencias y Artes, the Teatro Poliorama, and the Font de Canaletes, where the victories of FC Barcelona are celebrated.
