Hotel Colon, La Rambla & Barri Gotic, Barcelona
No other hotel in Barcelona may offer what Colon Hotel does: A matchless situation that allows a great number of its rooms to enjoy a complete first line view of the Cathedral of Barcelona.
A perfectly central hotel in Barcelona, Colon Hotel is situated just in front of the main façade of the Cathedral, 5 minutes away from Plaza Catalunya and the Port of Barcelona.
The Colon is an open balcony to the Gothic district, the most traditional district of Barcelona, where guests will find fine dining, as well as main attractions, museums and monuments.
The Colon Hotel Barcelona has been honoured with such guests as Joan Miro, who felt himself like at his own house in Barcelona during the sixties and early seventies; famous writers as Ernest Hemingway, Tennessee Williams, Jean Paul Sartre, Somerset Maugham, Henry Charriere, Noah Gordon, Stephen King, Camilo José Cela, Alvaro Cunqueiro, and seventh art celebrities as Vittorio Gassman, Gina Lollobrigida, Sofia Loren, Christopher Lee, Jane Fonda and F.F. Coppola.
The rooms have also welcomed international prestige architects as Santiago Calatrava and Arata Isozaki.

Chris, NY, Rating: 4 of 5, Date of Stay: March 2008
The Colón is in the heart of Barcelona's Ciutat Vella -- a good choice if this is the part of town you've come to see -- though it can seem a little old-fashioned, with traditional furniture and fittings and without any concessions to modernity. Situated opposite the main entrance to the cathedral (the best rooms on the sixth floor have small terraces with splendid views), this hotel sits behind a dignified neoclassical facade. Inside, you'll find conservative and slightly old-fashioned public rooms, a helpful staff, and good-size guest rooms filled with comfortable furniture. Despite recent renovations, the decor remains fairly old-fashioned with heavily patterned drapes and upholstery. All rooms have en-suite bathrooms containing a tub/shower combo. Not all rooms have views; however, those at the back of the building are quieter. Some of the lower rooms are rather dark.
