Hotel Badalona Tower
Brand-new four-star tower seven minutes from Barcelona
About this hotel
Hotel Badalona Tower brings a chic, contemporary style to Badalona's fast-developing streets around Avinguda de Navarra, a genuinely new build rather than a converted older property. It sits seven minutes by car from central Barcelona, with direct access to the C31 motorway and frequent Rodalies suburban rail services connecting to both the capital and the Costa de Maresme resort towns further north. A short walk covers the Calle del Mar commercial district and Badalona's old town, where the city museum traces the Roman settlement of Baetulo beneath today's streets. Inside, the hotel runs a restaurant, a bar, room service and a fitness centre, with breakfast options spanning continental, full English or Irish, vegetarian and buffet. Reviewers single out the beds for comfort, a detail that matters most on a short city-break stay.
- Fitness centre
- Room service and minibar
- Multiple breakfast options
- On-site parking
Our take
This suits city-break travellers prioritising fast Barcelona access and hotel-style amenities over a beach base. The fitness centre and full breakfast menu work for business trips as much as leisure stays, and the C31 motorway access helps anyone arriving by car from elsewhere in Catalonia. Guests wanting a spa or direct beach access should look at Hotel Marina Badalona or Hotel Miramar instead; this property trades sand for a shorter Barcelona commute.
- ✓Choose the buffet breakfast option if your day starts early; it covers more ground than the continental choice before a full Barcelona sightseeing day.
- ✓Use the C31 motorway access if driving in from elsewhere in Catalonia; the hotel's parking makes this easier than a central Barcelona address.
- ✓Visit the Museu de Badalona for the Roman Baetulo remains on a half-day between Barcelona sightseeing trips; it's a short walk from the hotel.
Why we love it
- Seven minutes by car from central Barcelona
- Highly rated, very comfortable beds
- Fitness centre and full breakfast menu
- C31 motorway access for driving guests
Why guests love itThis reads as a city-break hotel first, built new enough that the rooms and beds still feel fresh, which reviewers notice and mention often. The seven-minute drive into central Barcelona makes sightseeing straightforward without central-city hotel rates, and the fitness centre covers a workout that Badalona's smaller beachfront properties don't offer. Breakfast runs through several formats, useful for a group with different tastes. It's not a beach hotel, and anyone expecting sand nearby should look elsewhere in the city instead.
