For a traveler on business looking for a hotel close to the airport and with plenty meeting spaces, FrontAir Congress is a good choice. It's business travelers that frequent the public spaces, as well as leisure travelers who have had flight trouble and are being put up at the property. A convenient, free shuttle runs all day to and from the airport, but travelers hoping to get to the city center will have trouble doing so without a car. Located in an industrial neighborhood, there's not a lot going on in the immediate vicinity with the exception of a shopping mall and some fast-food restaurants. The 229-room hotel is massive on both the inside and out, and travelers looking for a more intimate hotel experience should book elsewhere.

Scene
A large, modern hotel that caters primarily to business travelers.
With extensive space for meetings and conferences, the FrontAir Congress is a hotel best suited for the business traveler. The hotel is the size of an entire block and that, combined with the more than 200 rooms, gives the property a utilitarian feeling rather than a warm and cozy one, something that's felt immediately at the very long check-in desk. Its public spaces, however, are modern and well-lit, with brightly colored art on the walls and leather sofas in the lobby.
Location
Outside the city center and a few miles from the airport
FrontAir Congress is not the kind of hotel people choose to be close to the center of the action in Barcelona. Located in the industrial area of Sant Boi de Llobregat and taking over an entire block, the hotel is close to the airport and is a popular choice among travelers with flight issues. There's little in the way of restaurants, save fast food establishments, nearby, but there is a mall which offers a selection of department store shopping.
Rooms
The large property offers 229 rooms, but not all have the same level of cleanliness.
FrontAir Congress has 229 rooms with flat-screen TVs and Wi-Fi. Rooms are basic in their amenities but the decor is unusual -- against a backdrop of hardwood floors and headboard is boldly-striped red-and-white coverlets and curtains. Bathrooms come with hairdryers. Rooms and bathrooms are at varying levels of cleanliness.
Features
Two outstanding features: a spa and a free shuttle to and from Barcelona airport.
Many travelers who stay at the three-pearl FrontAir Congress Hotel find themselves there by accident when their flights are cancelled and the airline decides to put them up at this hotel. For that reason, the free shuttle to and from the Barcelona airport -- just a few miles away -- is a necessity and it's one of guests' favorite amenities. Another standout feature is the hotel spa. The wellness center, as it's called, is water focused -- in addition to typical massages, it also has a spa pool with waterfalls, water beds, and a Turkish bath. The hotel also has an on-site restaurant and a daily breakfast buffet at an extra cost. There's also a coffee shop on premises and room service is available.
