Sizzling Spain, Barcelona Beauty!

Barcelona-Gran Hotel La Flordia

Soak up northern Spain’s distinct Catalan culture while reveling in spectacular views overlooking Barcelona and the Mediterranean at the Gran Hotel La Florida. Book 3 nights or more at Gran Hotel Florida a minimum 20 days in advance and enjoy your 3rd night FREE! Yea Baby!

Built in 1925, this landmark hotel was a 1950s home away from home for such luminaries as Ernest Hemingway, Rock Hudson, and James Stewart. Completely restored to its original glory in 2005, the Gran Hotel La Florida is today the ultimate in old-time European luxury.

Throw open your curtains to reveal spectacular views of Barcelona below and the Pyrenees beyond. Or enjoy the hilltop vista from the privacy of your spacious outdoor terrace, complete with sumptuous sun beds and your own jacuzzi.

It would be unheard of to visit this ultra-chic city without browsing the fashion boutiques of Barcelona’s famous Passeig de Gràcia, lined with opulent nineteenth century landmarks butting up alongside ultra-modern buildings by celebrated local architect, Antonio Gaudi.

After strolling Barcelona’s storied streets, return to the Gran Hotel La Florida for a feast of local Catalan cuisine, followed by a romantic nightcap at the Miramar bar overlooking the twinkling lights of Barcelona.

 

More for Less in Morocco!

Morocco-Kasbah Tamadot

A purposeful sense of mystery surrounds this walled retreat in the Atlas mountains of Morocco. Kasbah Tamadot Hotel only reveals itself to the lucky few passing through its heavy wooden doors…yet the luck expands now offering the 5th night FREE!

Golden hues amplify the fragrance of flowers and fresh herbs hanging in the air around the 27 bedrooms and suites of Sir Richard Branson’s Kasbah Tamadot hotel. Whether you choose to stay in the heart of the retreat, or follow the paths through the herb gardens to the ten luxury Berber Tented Suites, you will be delighted to discover traditional Moroccan furnishings and antiques as well as rare artifacts from all over the world adorning the walls.

True to form, this Virgin Limited Edition property offers a balance of leisurely activities and more exciting endeavors that extend far beyond a dip in of the pool or a quick tennis match on the private courts. Everything from 4×4 adventures to mule rides in the mountains – and even a hot air balloon ride over Marrakech – is available to guests.

And of course, one would be remiss to visit North Africa and not experience a Hammam – a traditional Moroccan skin cleansing ritual.
