Granollers Hotels

Barcelona is without doubt one of the world's greatest cities, undeniably rich in culture and the arts, in architecture, and in nightlife and shopping. While the city has more than enough charms to fill 1000 visits, there are other parts of the greater metropolitan area which demand further investigation, and the city of Granollers is one of them. This is an old city too, as evidenced by notable examples of Renaissance and Gothic architecture but what it is, above all else, is the commercial, industrial and administrative heartland of the Catalonia county of Valles Oriental. Granollers hotels serve a variety of purposes for the visitors to the city on business or leisure trips and they provide an alternative base for exploring Barcelona too.

Granollers has grown to be a city quickly and recently, from rather more humble origins, and with the rapid increase of business and industry came many young professionals keen to live and work in the area. As a result there is a rather more cosmopolitan flair to the shopping, dining and other leisure pursuits and, while it can scarcely compete in these respects with its near neighbor Barcelona, there is a very definite progressive and appealing cultural identity being forged on the old city streets. New business and leisure developments herald in an age of contemporary Catalonia, whilst retaining all the heritage and identity for which the region is so renowned. It is a great mix, and the Granollers hotels play their part well meeting the new city demands for high quality accommodation.

The favorite pastime for many people in the city is shopping, and Granollers hotels will be well placed for it. This pursuit illustrates perfectly how the old combines with the new. There are ultra modern stores and boutiques, very typical of any cosmopolitan center and they will intersperse high fashions with opportunities for some cafe culture as a way to meet up with friends for some more shopping or with colleagues for business lunches and executive living. As a counterpoint to that there is still the traditional weekly market, when every Thursday morning the city center becomes a pedestrianized zone, and a hive of activity, as it has been for centuries. Everything is on sale, from food and meat products to household goods and clothes and it gives a real taste of the dynamic local culture.

Granollers hotels in the city center offer the best opportunity to experience the more traditional elements of Catalonia hospitality, and especially so within the older establishments. It is a certain style and a confidence which, in the best hotels, translates into traditional public spaces and suites which form an elegant and timeless backdrop to contemporary amenities and features. The larger city center hotels will often have a grander appeal, ideal as a backdrop to a special event or celebration but there are smaller hotels too, very much in the boutique style as suits the modern aspects of the city and while they may lack a high degree of facilities they will nevertheless have no little style, great service, and plenty of comforts.

In the outskirts of the city, where the new business districts and residential areas are emerging, Granollers hotels will have a different slant, that of catering more for the needs of the local community. To this end there will business facilities and services such as meeting spaces and access to office equipment, while the guest rooms will have technologies for communication and internet as well as for TV entertainment. Meeting spaces will serve just as well for private functions and events and the dining and lounge spaces will serve adequately for social interaction and meeting with friends, family and colleagues.

There are leisure options away from the city center too and the area still retains much of its traditional agricultural landscape and character. Go walking or cycling in the surrounding countryside or take in one of the best kept secrets which is the monastery at San Miguel de Fai. The road itself to the monastery provide outstanding vistas, and there are waterfalls and caves which provide a real feast for the senses. There are many historic, natural and cultural delights to uncover throughout the valley and of course there is always the option of taking a trip into the heart of Barcelona. This is perhaps one of the best aspects of staying in Granolliers hotels, they provide guests with convenient access to one of the true cultural centers of the world and somewhere comfortable to come home to, away from its more vibrant elements.

Granolliers hotels come in all shapes, styles, and sizes, ensuring the ideal city accommodation whatever the purpose of the stay. Those with the means to do so can enjoy the luxuries and services provided by the top hotels, whether for a well earned leisure break or with business in mind, but most of the hotels fall into a mid-range category and are well adapted to meet the varying demands for contemporary accommodation. There are budget hotels too, many of which will be charming independently run establishments where a warm welcome forms the ideal start and comfortable well equipped rooms make for an enjoyable stay.

Granolliers is a real up-and-coming community, an upstart getting noticed in wider circles as a city which finds new uses for old places, and it is a city all the better for it. It is not Barcelona, but it is pretty close.
