In the heart of Barcelona's Eixample district, Hotel Viladomat is located near the Sants central train station and less than 30 minutes' walk from the city's main points of interest, both for leisure and business, and is well-connected by train, bus and the various metro lines.
Barcelona is a modern, open and cosmopolitan city, and at the same time, one of the oldest cities in the Iberian Peninsula, founded by the Romans as Barcino. Over the centuries, the city has been a key connection point between the Mediterranean and Europe.
The 1992 Olympic Games promoted its urban transformation, revitalizing areas such as Barceloneta and consolidating the city as a world reference in urban planning and modernity, without losing its rich historical heritage.
Modernisme, which emerged between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, is an architectural and artistic movement that transformed the city of Barcelona into a world reference for the style, characterized by its organic forms, decorative details and ornamental exuberance.
Some of the most representative buildings of this movement are the Sagrada Familia, Casa Batlló, La Pedrera or Casa Milà, Park Güell and the Palau de la Música Catalana, designed by architects such as Antoni Gaudí and Lluís Domènech i Montaner.
Las Ramblas is one of the most iconic avenues in Barcelona. Along this avenue you will find kiosks, street artists and notable monuments such as the Gran Teatre del Liceu and the Mercat de la Boqueria.
In contrast, Paseo de Gracia is distinguished by its elegance and sophistication, with exclusive shops of international brands and its modernist architecture, which reflect the cultural richness and distinctive style of the Catalan capital.
El Born is a historic neighborhood known for its bohemian and sophisticated atmosphere with narrow streets filled with independent boutiques and art galleries. It is also home to the impressive Basílica de Santa María del Mar, a Catalan Gothic architecture, and the Born market, a former market converted into a cultural center.

It is also home to the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art (MACBA), which attracts lovers of modern and contemporary art.
