Allure of the Seas - Barcelona 9-13-2015

Hi, my husband and I will be cruising for our 25th anniversary. It is our first trip abroad and I am beginning the daunting job of looking for a nice hotel in Barcelona. We will arrive the morning of 9/11 so will have a few days to explore before leaving. Anyone have any input? We are pretty flexible as far as amenities- 3 -5 star would be fine. Thanks much! Also hi to anyone booked on this cruise - Jean

Welcome to Cruise Critic!:)

We are also on Allure in October. We are booked at Room Mate Pau in Barcelona at the top end of Las Ramblas. A very nice, modern hotel. Not cheap, but not overly expensive. Close to restaurants and the bus stop.

Hello there!

I am on the same sailing; so am following your post.

Here´s a good list of affordable hotels with personality that the Guardian just posted today.

I particularly like Hotel Praktik Bakery for the concept of fusioning hotel with a bakery. If you looking for day tours or cultural tours during your stay, you might check out : http://www.foodwinetours.com/

Excellent! Thank you so much.

No problem! Enjoy!!
