For those people flying into Barcelona Airport and need a place to stay before their cruise ship leaves, the Eurostar Grand Marina Hotel is the nearest of the Barcelona hotels to the cruise terminal. There are other in the area of course but this one is the closest to the terminal and on Barcelona’s famous street, La Rambla, there are other hotels available.
The Grand Marina Hotel is just a fifteen minute walk for the southern most end of the Ramblas and it is here you will find the memorial to Christopher Columbus. This is a safe place to walk during daylight hours but after sunset you would be better off with a taxi ride.
Your stay at the Grand Marina Hotel will put you in the center of the city but without the noise of typical city centers. Because of this you will enjoy a good night sleep which is so important when you have a busy day ahead of you. Near this hotel there are not bars, clubs or restaurants but a short five minute cab ride will take you to an area where you can chose form many places to eat and drink. You will notice metal sculptures and palm trees just behind this hotel.
