Review by hotel critic
During my recent business retreat in Catalonia, I had the opportunity to stay at a hotel that proved convenient for combining work with leisure. The 24-hour reception and security gave me peace of mind, allowing me to focus on my meetings without any worries. The fast Wi-Fi connection was reliable, which is crucial for remote work, especially when you’re trying to coordinate with colleagues back in Milan. The bar and lounge area provided a nice spot to unwind after a long day. I appreciated being able to grab snacks and drinks there, creating a laid-back environment for informal discussions. As a fan of keeping active, I took advantage of the fitness center and seasonal outdoor pool, which were both well-maintained and accessible. In our spare time, a few of us opted for the spa treatments, enjoying some much-needed relaxation after our intensive sessions. All things considered, this hotel offered a well-rounded experience for business travelers, effortlessly blending work commitments with opportunities to take a break and enjoy the local culture. Would definitely recommend it for anyone planning a corporate retreat!
