Barcelona is Spain's second largest city and the Gothic Quarter is where the travelers go to really enjoy it. This old quarter has become part of the city's new grid lined street system, making it easier to get around by foot. For a night out, you need only walk to the Gothic district. For shopping, you've found yourself in one of the top trade towns of the Mediterranean. But which is the best hotel within walking distanceé Seasoned travelers prefer the Placa de Sant Just, a new hotel that opened in April, 2003. This building is nothing like the Guadi style architecture that the city is so famous for. This new tech high rise offers 3 star service and amenities, just classy enough to accommodate your needs and not break your bank. If you just got in and are not ready to hit the town, relax and take a nap. The soundproof windows allow you to sleep like a child--or you can watch the new satellite TV while you help yourself from the mini bar. If you need to check in with the office, use the internet; accessibility is available in all the rooms. When you're ready to go, you are within walking distance of all that the city has to offer, give or take a railway ride.
