The 19th-century Condado hotel is located in the
Avinguda Diagonal shopping district of Barcelona, Spain. It is within 500
metres of the Passeig de Gracia's shops and bars, and three kilometres from
the Sagrada Familia cathedral. The nearest metro station to the hotel is
Diagonal. Barcelona Airport (BCN) is 12 kilometres from the hotel.
Built in 1800, the Condado hotel is a grey
stone-fronted building that opened as a hotel in 1952 and was completely
renovated in 2006. Glass doors across the broad entrance lead into a light,
marble-floored lobby with white walls and dark wood furniture and a
split-level lounge area with seating and a computer terminal. Condado's
dining area is an elegant space with hardwood floors, wood furniture, large
windows and contemporary painted panels. Breakfast is served here or on the
patio at the rear.
