Barcelona Hotels

Overview

As one of Europe's most visited cities, Barcelona offers an astonishing variety of lodging options running the gamut of all tastes and budgets, from top-of-the-line luxury to family-run hostales to quirky fashion hotels. Haute properties (over $300 per night) are, almost by definition, well-situated, … more attractive, and well-staffed, but Barcelona’s extraordinary wealth of options means that it’s possible to find most of these things for under $150 a night. While classically grand hotels exist (especially in the elegant neighborhood of L’Eixample), many new properties, like the city itself, are on the bleeding-edge of design, showcasing minimalist, modern flair (find many of them in trendy El Born and bohemian El Raval). The most affordable rooms get snatched up fast, so if you're aiming to save on your hotel, you'll need to book at least three months in advance.
