Luxurious. Exclusive. Avant-garde. Minimalist. Mediterranean. These are the five senses, the five essences that make up the great tourist landmark in the port of Barcelona, the Eurostars Grand Marina, created and planned for its guests to enjoy the maximum luxury and feel that all the Mediterranean (as sung by Serrat) gyrates around it. Mediterranean airs, avant-garde art, minimalist design and soft sea breeze command the privileged facilities of the Eurostars Grand Marina Hotel, set in the hub of Barcelona’s Port Vell. The Eurostars Grand Marina Hotel is a perfect paradise for resting, for business men and women, couples, families enjoying leisure trips, for enjoying the hotel of your dreams, surrounded by a universe of amenities, optimum comfort and luxury. The Eurostars Grand Marina is also the perfect scenario for business meetings, as well as for weddings, banquets and all kinds of social events with which to surprise and dazzle one’s guests. Each year, numerous important wedding banquets of varying size take place in the unsurpassable setting provided by the Eurostars Grand Marina, with the evocative vistas over the city, over which towers the unmistakable silhouette of the Montjuich mountain. The Eurostars Grand Marina places at your disposal 40 reception rooms of varying sizes and types to suit all your needs; most of them with bright, natural light and fabulous vistas over the port of Barcelona and the coast. The Eurostars Grand Marina Hotel hopes that being accommodated in the hotel, more than just a stay becomes a full experience. This is why we are in an incomparable setting, with exclusive service and facilities of the utmost luxury. The hotel provides great and small pleasures for a delightful, unforgettable stay: outdoor swimming pool with vistas of the city and the port, fully equipped gym with all types of apparatus, sauna, jacuzzi, hydro-massage bath, covered parking, piano bar and the delicious Opera Nights with superb singers for Saturday soirées. The building, which resembles a transatlantic liner, is often mistaken for the ships and cruisers which, anchored in the port of Barcelona, protect the hotel. A total of 291 rooms are housed in the building, all exterior and with the constant presence of the Mediterranean light that finds its way into the most hidden corners. The main hall sports an impressive circular staircase designed by the architect, Leohming Pei, the creator of the famous pyramid forming the main entrance to the Louvre Museum in Paris. The hotel is full of cutting edge design details and repeatedly houses temporary, avant-garde art exhibitions. The hotel restaurant has also become a culinary reference in Barcelona. The buffet breakfast which, for six months of the year can be enjoyed on the orange-tree lined terrace, is an unvoiced secret in the capital of Catalonia. A vastly varied offer of gourmet dishes mirroring the finest pleasures of Mediterranean fusion cuisine flow from the Grand Marina kitchens. The restaurant completes its offer with an intimate, private dining room for 40 persons: the Aire de Mar (Sea Breeze) Restaurant. Other options of the highest culinary level of the area are the representative restaurants, Torre de Alta Mar or Monjuic el Xalet. Both restaurants are joined upby the port of Barcelona aerial cable cars, the centre point of which, the Tower of James I, commands the access to the Eurostars Grand Marina Hotel. The splendid location of the hotel in the Barcelona port nerve centre, a bare 2 minutes from the Columbus monument, offers its guests the possibility of walking to a countless series of tourist, cultural and shopping opportunities in the centre of Barcelona: the Gothic District, Ramblas, Paseo de Colón, the church of Santa María del Mar, Liceo, the Picasso Museum, Paseo de Gracia, Palau de la Música, Barceloneta, Born, Casa Batlló, Plaza Catalunya, La Pedrera, Montjuich and an etcetera as long as your curiosity is able to cope with. 
The location of the Grand Marina at the crossing point between Paralelo and Ronda Litoral situates us ten minutes by taxi from the airport and Sants railway station. The Grand Marina is, in addition, an important cultural reference in Barcelona. Apart from the exhibitions displayed, the hotel holds an annual photography competition, the Eurostars Grand Marina Photography Prize and also hosts the gala prize-giving celebration of the Eurostars Travel Narrative Award.
