The owner-managed Torre Barcelona is located in the residential area of Valldoreix, at the foot of the Collserola Natural Park. Covering an area of 19,768 acres, Collserola is one of the largest metropolitan parks in the world, being 8 times larger than the Bois de Boulogne in Paris and Richmond Park in London. The park is forested with Aleppo pines and has areas of maquis, scrublands, brush and savannah grasslands. A rich wildlife includes wild boar, foxes, badgers, squirrels and rabbits and a wide variety of birds. The hotel's location makes it perfect for hiking, running, cycling, and birdwatching, yet it is only a 30-minute drive (approximately 10km) from central Barcelona. Perfect for those who desire a quieter setting outside Barcelona, with convenient connections to the city centre via rail or bus.
The twelve room, listed, Torre Barcelona was built in 1932 and has been lovingly renovated over the years, opening as a hotel in 2018. High ceilings, tiled floors, neutral tones, a mix of zingy and traditional furniture and an eye for detail makes this a charming, warm place to stay. All rooms face outwards and feature charming vintage Venetian windows.
