The Colón could not be more central in Barcelona: bang in front of the Cathedral. This makes it perfect for all the sights of Gaudi's city and the fabulous dining options of Barcelona, albeit a little longer to get out to the golf courses each day.
The Colón is a traditional hotel that is well-loved by its current owners and continually refreshed and refurbished to provide elegant accommodation in Barcelona. Witness to this continual evolution is the roof-top patio with its splash pool and drinks service from where you can watch the sun set on the tourist throng around one of Barcelona's most famous plaças.
The ground floor is delightfully old-school with a couple of drawing rooms for afternoon tea (or sherry), a small restaurant (more tables outside) and its small bar.
Underneath the Cathedral square, i.e. just in front of the hotel, there is an extremely convenient secure car-park, for which the hotel has reduced rates.
