 The Reception area is currently undergoing refurbishment Although this didn t affect us first visual impressions on arrival might disappoint I think the work is due to be completed soon 
 This is our third stay at the Avenida Palace which is a grand old hotel We love a short break in Barcelona in January The hotel is in a perfect location for shopping sightseeing and great tapas bars The staff are very helpful and friendly and overall it s very good value for money
