Visitors easily can take advantage of the guest services, including conference halls, a gym, a swimming pool, and a restaurant. The hotel is equipped with facilities for disabled visitors.

However, the rooms are designed in a classical style with neutral tones, similar to the hotel restaurant, which is arrayed according to a conservative, English spirit.

Sallés Hotel Ciutat del Prat
This is one of the most famous hotels located in close proximity to the Barcelona airport.

However, bright colors decorate Sallés Hotel. Guests are sure to admire the emerald-colored chairs, the drapes with colored prints, the pink hues of the cabinet furniture, the sunlit terraces with sculptures in the shapes of huge, bright green apples. Crystal walls surround a large swimming pool, and a transparent roof creates the illusion of soaring in the air. In the lobby, an upper gallery with golden handrails and a chandelier of 9 levels reminds visitors of hotels in Dubai. Moreover, the hotel offers free transfer services to and from the airport included in the cost. (Transfer services are available from 4:45 am until 1:45 am.) However, the hotel does not provide transfer services for extremely heavy or bulky luggage, including snowboards, ski equipment, bikes, and kayaks.
