All of the apartments are modern, comfortably furnished and have WIFI, heating and air conditioning.

Heading in the other direction along Gran Via will take you to Passeig de Gràcia, famous for the iconic architecture of Antoni Gaudí, such as Casa Milà and Casa Batlló. Those with a sweet tooth should stop at the historic Pastelería Escriba Gran Via on the way for some of the best pastries the city has to offer.
Among the fabulous restaurants near the building are Tickets Bar (the creation of culinary legends Albert and Ferran Adrià) and Can Vallès where you can find authentic tapas dishes and outstanding seafood.
The proximity to Fira de Barcelona (where many of the world’s leading trade shows such as Mobile World Congress are held) makes the Rocafort Eixample building very convenient for business travelers.
