| The Hotel Orinte is a landmark on La Rambla. On the site of an old monastry, it was Barcelona's first hotel. In its day it has played host to many famous guests - Ernest Hemingway, Noel Coward and the like - but although maybe past its glory days, it is still a comfortable hotel with unbeatable location at a good price. Take a room at the front, sit on the balcony and watch the world go by beneath you. Mention my name and they may give me discount next visit. |
