Continental Barcelona Hotel

Nestled on Barcelona’s famous La Rambla boulevard and steeped in history, Hotel Continental is the perfect spot for exploring Barcelona. The hotel is known for being George Orwell’s favourite place to stay in Barcelona and even gets a mention in Homage to Catalonia.

Perhaps the most unique thing about this hotel is the all-inclusive buffet, which is available to guests round the clock, day or night. The selection changes to suit the time, from breakfast items like sausages, eggs and croissants in the morning, to high-quality deli meats, cheeses and fresh fruit and vegetables in the afternoon. Bottomless juice, tea and coffee are also freely available – and even beer and wine! The staff ensure everything is freshly topped up, even in the middle of the night, so you’ll never go hungry.

The gorgeous rooms are fully-soundproofed for an undisturbed night’s sleep. They come with high speed wi-fi, climate control, a television – and even a picnic set, so you can bring back treats from the buffet to snack on later.
