As emblematic as the Hotel Continental has become in its 100-year existence, the place could stand for a consult by an interior decorator who doesn’t equate style with nauseating gold wallpaper mated to gold floral linens, brass beds and beige carpeting. The Hotel Continental isn’t out to compete with stylish luxury hotels though and the frank gaudiness is almost endearing after a few nights of adjustment. Since its opening in 1898, the hotel has been run by the Malagarriga family and in that time acquired a loyal following among celebs and the sentimental. The staff is friendly, which makes the prime location all the more appealing to any first-timers in Barcelona.
Mention should be made of the exterior room balconies, unmistakable from the street, with the word “Continental” emblazoned on each and every one. But from the balconies you can sit and watch the action on Las Ramblas as George Orwell did during the Spanish Civil War when bullets, rather than street bands, were shattering the air.
