If you’re planning a trip to Barcelona, the AC Hotel Diagonal Lilla should be at the top of your list for a stylish and convenient stay. My partner and I stayed here during our first trip ever to Barcelona back in September 2022. This chic hotel is located inside a mall, making it easy to shop, dine and explore, while also offering top-notch amenities for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect from your stay at the AC Hotel Diagonal Lilla.
Location: Inside the L’Illa Diagonal Shopping Center
One of the standout features of this hotel is its location inside the L’Illa Diagonal Shopping Center. This is a great spot for those who love to shop, as you’ll be just steps away from some of the city’s top stores and boutiques. But the location isn’t just great for shopping – it’s also conveniently located near public transportation, making it easy to explore the rest of the city. There’s also the Tram Station right outside the hotel with a subway station only a few blocks away as well. We also made a walking trip to visit the Barcelona FC Camp Nou Stadium, around 30 mins one-way!
Stylish and Modern Rooms
The rooms at the AC Hotel Diagonal Lilla are sleek and modern, with wooden floors and plenty of natural light. They’re also well-appointed with all the amenities you’ll need for a comfortable stay, including plush bedding, a flat-screen TV, and a spacious bathroom with a rain shower.
Consistent Quality of AC Hotel Brands
One of the best things about staying at an AC Hotel is the consistent quality across all their properties. The AC Hotel Diagonal Lilla is no exception – from the well-trained staff to the stylish decor, everything is up to par with what you’d expect from the brand.
AC Lounge and Fitness Center
The AC Hotel Diagonal L’Illa features a modern and well-equipped fitness center for guests to maintain their workout routine during their stay. While the gym is relatively small (was only big enough for 3 people!) it features a variety of equipment, including treadmills, stationary bikes, free weights, and more.
Cerveseria El Tap: A Tapas Spot Not to Miss
If you’re looking for some delicious tapas, you don’t have to go far – Cerveseria El Tap is located just across from the hotel. This local hotspot offers up a wide variety of tasty dishes and drinks, and is a great spot to start or end your evening.
Overall, the AC Hotel Diagonal Lilla is a fantastic choice for those looking for a stylish and convenient stay in Barcelona. With its great location, well-appointed rooms, and top-notch amenities, it’s the perfect home base for your next adventure in this vibrant city.
