Senator Barcelona Hotel

In 2002 we stayed in the Senator Hotel near the NuCamp stadium. The hotel although on the outskirts of Barcelona, was only a short taxi ride from both the airport and the centre of the city. About a five minute walk away from the hotel was a tour bus stop, which proved invaluable for getting to all the tourist spots.
The hotel itself was very impressive. As we checked in we were treated to a glass of bubbly, then directed to our rooms, which were spacious and came with TV, mini bar and a bathroom full of freebies! I love the freebies :) There were a pair of flip flops each with the name of the hotel on, soaps, toothbrushes and paste, razors and shaving cream, sewing kits (never use these, but they always come home with me!).
We ate at the hotel one evening and weren’t disappointed, it was a help yourself buffet and if you wanted meat, the chef cooked it on a barbeque in front of you, I had the lamb which was delicious.
We found out on the last day of our stay that there was an outdoor pool on the roof of the hotel, as it was a cold day, we had a look from the door, but it looked good.
The hotel also had a spa, which I had a tour of and was surprised to find something called and ‘orange pool’, it was a Jacuzzi size pool with oranges floating it in!
If I go to Barcelona again, I’ll be staying at this hotel!
