Located in the heart of Barcelona, in a strategic quarter between Pelayo and Ronda Universitat streets, next to the Plaza Cataluna and the world famous Ramblas, is the City Park Hotel Pelayo. It is housed in a small, exclusive and majestic bulding typical of Barcelona's architecture. Belonging to the select City Park Hoteles Chain, the City Park Hotel Pelayo makes use of the best advances in technology, while still managing to maintain it's charm. The rooms have all the comfort that a you would expect from a 4 star hotel. Excellent service is not only a goal, it's company policy. Barcelona prides itself on its individuality. The first thing to understand about the region of Catalunya, of which Barcelona is the leading city, is that it is not really Spain, despite the fact that it uses Spanish money, pays Spanish taxes, votes in Spanish national elections and is technically still a part of Spain. It is a semiautonomous region, one that has its own special history and language, which it has fought arduously to preserve. In fact, for years the late Spanish dictator Francisco Franco tried, unsuccessfully, to eradicate the Catalan language and erase the Catalonian identity.
