Jazz

Are you looking for a city break hotel that boasts a rooftop swimming pool and solarium, as well as being just a short Metro ride from the beach? Jazz, located in the cosmopolitan city of Barcelona, ticks all those boxes. It’s on the doorstep of Plaça de Catalunya, so it couldn’t be better placed for exploring the city.

The rooftop terrace-lounge provides a wide range of snacks, light bites and drinks. Whether the kids want an ice cream and pineapple juice, or if you want to share tapas and wine with your friends, there’s something for everyone. On the first floor, the Jazz Bar provides a further option for relaxing with a refreshing drink in your hand. No prizes for guessing what type of music is played here! From 7 to 11am an extensive breakfast buffet will fill your tummy before you embark on a day of sightseeing. Gourmet meats, fresh fruit and pastries are just some of the delights on offer. The chef also rustles up freshly prepared omelettes.

The spacious air conditioned rooms include a LCD TV and a safe large enough to store a laptop in. Upgrade to a superior for even more space and a king size bed. The family option features a sofa bed and a separate living area, while the toilet and shower/bath are segregated, meaning no need for your little one to interrupt you because they need the toilet while you’re getting washed.

Jazz is just 350m from the famous Las Ramblas tree-lined boulevard. Here, you can watch street artists perform, enjoy a coffee & cake al fresco and visit the optical illusion museum. Nearby Metro stations allow easy access to Barceloneta Beach and Plaça d'Espanya. The latter is close to Poble Espanyol, an open air museum built for the 1929 Expo, and the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc, offering a musical and visual performance that shouldn’t be missed.
