Checking In: Feel the energy of the city at Hotel Indigo Barcelona Plaza Espana

Planning a trip to Barcelona in the coming months? Here’s why Hotel Indigo Barcelona Plaza España is the place to set up base during your travels.

The party’s just begun in Barcelona. In the summer, the city comes alive; there is music in the streets, food and drinks are flowing, and everyone is having a good time under the blazing sun. If you’re travelling to Barcelona and you want to instantly plug into the energy of the city, Hotel Indigo Barcelona Plaza España is the place to be. Here’s why!

Location, location, location! 

Just a two-minute walk from the Plaça d’Espanya L1 metro line as well as convenient tram and bus stops, the well-connected Hotel Indigo is the perfect base to explore the city. Once you’re checked in, you are able to easily see all the sights. The famous Basílica de la Sagrada Família, as well as Gaudi’s other architectural masterpieces Casa Batlló, Casa Milà, and Casa Vicens, are only a 15-minute journey on public transport. 

For sports fans, Hotel Indigo is only a short distance away from major stadiums, like the RCDE Stadium. In fact, we got a taste of the excitement as Hotel Indigo happened to be the official meeting point for England football fans ahead of its match against the World Champion Spanish team to qualify for the UEFA Women’s Nations League semi-finals. 

And if you don’t feel like jumping on the bus or the train, there is plenty to see in the hotel’s Santa-Montjuïc neighbourhood. Just outside the hotel, there is the Montjuïc Fountain and Plaza de España. And a short walk away, you will find Montjuïc Park, Miró Foundation, the Botanical Garden, Espanya Industrial Park, and the National Art Museum of Catalonia. 

Catalan at its Core

The striking design of the hotel pays homage to its Sants-Montjuïc neighbourhood, where tradition and modernity historically intersect. A nod to the area’s rich history of industrialisation, there are splashes of bold red and smooth edges juxtaposed against elegant Catalan patterns and design. This theme can also be found in the hotel’s 189 rooms.

Thoughtfully designed with function in mind as much as style, the rooms feature spacious bathrooms, ultra-comfortable beds, and are kitted out with game-changing amenities that make a stay that much better, such as a Chromecast-enabled television and coffee machine. 

Food for the Soul

Breakfast is not to be missed at Hotel Indigo Barcelona Plaza España. There is an incredible spread of breads, cheese, meats, and fresh juices awaiting you, as well as a menu of freshly-prepared dishes, including our favourites, fluffy pancakes with berry compote and omelettes stuffed to the brim. With sunlight streaming in through the dining room’s glass ceilings and a table full of delicious food, there is no better way to start the day. 

For lunch and dinner, the hotel restaurant, Reversible, invites diners to taste authentic Catalan flavours, as reimagined by Chef Victor Alfageme.  We highly recommend trying Reversible’s take on the classic patatas bravas and croquettes. For a more adventurous exploration of its menu, we suggest the perfectly seasoned artichoke flowers, anchovies of l’escala, and the beef cannelloni stuffed with mushroom sauce and black truffle. 

With so much to offer, Hotel Indigo Barcelona Plaza España is one of the best places to stay in the city. However, you don’t have to travel to Barcelona to enjoy the top-notch hospitality—Hotel Indigo Kuala Lumpur on the Park is open in our city’s central business district, nestled in the heart of the Bukit Nanas neighbourhood.
