Hotel Lyon is situated close to several attractions, including Port Vell.

However, the first port to provide ships with protection against storms and waves was successfully built only in the 15th century.
For the Olympic Games in 1992, Port Vell underwent a complete transformation, and the harbor is now a focal point of the city and a tourist attraction. Before this, it was a run-down area of empty warehouses, railroad yards, and factories. Now, it features the Maremàgnum shopping mall, bars, and restaurants, as well as Europe's largest aquarium, which houses 8,000 fish and 11 sharks.
