The Hesperia Tower Hotel is part of the NH
Hotel chain. It offers 280 luxurious
rooms, "...
ranging from well-organized standard
spaces through to the elegant
presidential suite ...
(it) also boasts a 5,000 sq. m.
convention center with a range of
different sized function rooms,
banqueting halls and a auditorium
fully equipped with the most modern
audiovisual technologies. There
is also a sports center where guests
can make use of the large indoor pool,
solarium, spa, sauna and steam baths,
as well as a full range of exercise
machines. " Rogers Partnership
say that, " ... the hotel is
highly visible, and has a
distinctive design: Lift,
staircase and service towers have
a strong architectural expression
and are placed at the edge of the
floors as ‘servant spaces’,
allowing the floor spaces to be
largely open-plan. One of the
restaurants is housed in a
striking glazed ‘dish’ located at
roof level and accessed by
wall-climber lifts, which gives
diners a panoramic view over
L’Hospitalet and Barcelona."
