Le Meridien Barcelona

Walking into Le Meridien's lobby you're instantly thrown into a lively, friendly and warm atmosphere. Other than the lack of a pool, the Meridien pretty much has everything, including being an exceptionally pet friendly atmosphere. It's ideally situated, close to the Boqueria on La Rambla and half way between Plaza Catalunya and the beach. Their complimentary business center downstairs is good for checking emails, although if you need to do a lot of work I'd bring your own laptop as it can get fairly crowded near the computers. There is wi-fi access in the rooms although it's not free. In the evening, enjoy a few cocktails in Le PopBar where it's always busy!
