So you’re planning a trip to Catalonia and wondering where to crash in Reus? Let me tell you about Hotel Gaudí – honestly, it’s one of those places that just ticks all the boxes. Nestled right in the heart of this vibrant modernist city, it’s got that perfect mix of comfort, style, and convenience that makes you feel like you’ve made a smart choice. Plus, you’re literally steps away from everything cool in town, which means less time traveling and more time exploring.
About Hotel Gaudí
Hotel Gaudí sits in the commercial and shopping heart of Reus, perfectly positioned in a city that’s basically a love letter to modernist architecture. This isn’t just some random hotel name either – Reus is the birthplace of the legendary Antoni Gaudí, so the whole city breathes that artistic, creative vibe. The hotel itself captures that modernist spirit while keeping things super functional and modern.
Location-wise, you really can’t beat it – you’re in the center of town, right next to the famous Modernist art route. The Gaudí Centre is literally a 4-minute walk away, so you can roll out of bed and be admiring architectural genius before your morning coffee kicks in. The hotel’s at Arrabal Robuster 49, basically where all the action happens.
Accommodation and Amenities
The hotel’s got 87 rooms to choose from – double, triple, and quadruple options, all fully equipped to make your stay comfy. Every room comes with the essentials: air conditioning (thank goodness for Spanish summers!), free Wi-Fi throughout, flat-screen TV with satellite channels, and private bathrooms with all the toiletries you need. Some rooms even have desks if you need to get a bit of work done, and they’ve got soundproofing so you can actually sleep.
The hotel itself is pretty well-stocked with facilities. There’s a 24-hour reception desk (because who knows when you’ll actually arrive), luggage storage, an air-conditioned cafeteria for breakfast, and even meeting rooms if you’re mixing business with pleasure. They’ve got lifts to all floors, vending machines for late-night snacks, and the whole place is wheelchair accessible with grab rails and other helpful features. Plus, there’s a cozy bar, a games room for the kids (or let’s be honest, for you too), and they can arrange airport shuttles for an extra charge.
Dining Experience
The on-site restaurant serves up breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so you’re sorted for meals without having to venture out if you don’t feel like it. The breakfast is what you’d call a solid continental spread – fresh bread, pastries, jam, cold cuts like ham, cheese, chorizo, and sausages, plus hot options like scrambled eggs and bacon. They throw in cereals, yogurt, fruit, juice, coffee, and tea, too. It’s a buffet-style setup in a large, air-conditioned cafeteria with plenty of tables, so no fighting for seats.
If you’ve got dietary needs, they’ll accommodate special diet menus on request, which is always a plus. And when you want to explore local flavors, you’re right in the commercial heart of town with tons of tapas bars and restaurants nearby. Plaça del Mercadal is where you’ll find loads of traditional Catalan cuisine options.
