General Information

Torre Agbar is a 144.4 m high and 38-story skyscraper. Because of its unique shape, it is often mentioned by local people as the “Blue Cigar”. It is situated in the west end of Avinguda Diagonal, which is not in the heart of Barcelona, but if you are interested in business or in shopping or in a beach vacation, accommodation in the neighborhood would be suitable for you (for additional information – Shopping Holiday Hotels, Business Hotels and Beach Vacation Hotels). Moreover, the center is accessible by the efficient public transportation of Barcelona.

Hotels in this area are less expensive than those that are located in the central areas, like the Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic) and La Rambla (for additional information – Hotels near the Gothic Quarter and Hotels near La Rambla). Because of it, those tourists who would like to spend a romantic vacation or are on a business trip in Barcelona can find easily a high level 4 or 5 star hotel at a relatively good price in the area (for additional information – Luxury Hotels). That is the reason many business conferences are held in the area of Torre Agbar and the area is also popular with couples who are spending a romantic holiday in the city (for additional information – Romantic Vacation in Barcelona, Romantic Hotels and Hotels in Barcelona).
