Hotel Montecarlo is located in a renovated 14th Century Palace, which in the past housed the head office of the Royal Artistic Circle of Barcelona and in its time has also provided a home to two newspapers. Its position on the Ramblas, Barcelona's main tourist street, makes it a great location from which to explore the city. All 55 of the guestrooms, decorated in simple colors, equipped with the latest technological accessories offer a homey ambience, complemented with a warm, friendly and efficient service and marble bathrooms boast jetted tubs, helping guests unwind after a hard day's sightseeing.

Although there is no restaurant there are many eateries on the main strip and a breakfast room offers a buffet service for a fee. Barcelona's beaches are within easy reach, but for the more culturally minded there are many museums and galleries worthy of a look, such as the Gaudi buildings, the Joan Miro gallery and the Picasso museum. La Sagrada Familia, which is still work-in-progress, is a breathtaking example of Gaudi's vision. For relaxing, guests can enjoy the solarium at the top floor, where they can enjoy breathtaking views of the city.
