Liling Germany

Amazing location right on Las Ramblas with a rooftop terrace offering incredible views where you can have a drink, sun on the terrace or dip in the pool. The spa on the lower level was luxury plus with a heated pool with massage beds and fountain, steam bath and sauna, all set in a gorgeous tiled cavern setting. Our large spacious room was nicely decorated with opening window, overlooking Las Ramblas. Mini bar, fridge and safe were available as well as tea/coffee supplies. This hotel had style and class - even the stairs were beautiful. Definitely coming back!
