Barcelona Hotel Recommendation
Discussion
My wife paid for a weekend in Barcelona recently for her brother's 40th birthday present. Booked the El Palace Hotel for him and his wife.
She got a deal on the room rate from somewhere, I'll ask her where from if it's of interest

OK so just to wrap this one up.
Got back early hours this morning, Travel Republic called the hotel Torre Catalunya, it was the Gran hotel Torre Catalunya. Decent place right by main station.
Got 2 day tickets for the tourist bus which was well worth it (green route not used out of season) and used it like a long haul taxi, even managed to walk Las Ramblas without getting mugged, robbed, raped or buggered but not sure why we bothered because there is nothing along it of interest that I noticed.
Loved the Olympic areas, loved the friendly people, the food and drink very reasonable, some of the parks are great just to hang out and people watch in.
They don't like their cars it seems, best I saw was a Quatroporte in a garage next best was a Porker - think I'd enjoy taking one of the TVR's down there to show them what it's all about.
My favourite area is Barri Gotic, love those lanes.
JFK - you are a lucky bugger spending so much time there. Found myself thinking how I could do the same.
So thanks to everyone for input, now I've been I'm happy to give my view too - can't wait to visit again.
