Where to Stay
H10 Madison
Carrer del Dr. Joaquim Pou, 2, 4-6, 08002 Barcelona
Located in the historic Gothic Quarter, H10 Madison is a beautifully designed, stylish hotel. Outside your door you have lovely cobblestoned streets and alleys, leading to squares filled with bars, restaurants and independent shops, not to mention a 3 minute walk to the iconic Cathedral. Inside you will find the soothing, earthy tones of marble flooring and wood panelling, offset by traditional Catalan tiles. The rooftop terrace is home to spectacular views of the city and Sagrada Familia, as well as a tempting plunge pool. Rooms feature designer furniture, comfortable beds and are soundproofed for a perfect night’s sleep.
Hotel Brummell
Carrer Nou de la Rambla, 174, 08004 Barcelona
Hotel Brummell is located in the Poble Sec neighbourhood, a largely residential area situated between the port and Plaça d’Espanya and nestled under the Montjuïc hill. It’s a quiet neighbourhood of shady squares but with a developing food and bar scene, but still close enough to walk into the centre and a bit more laid back than the more touristy areas in Barcelona. Hotel Brummell is a boutique hotel located in a restored 19th century building with plenty of character but featuring all modern furniture and artwork from local designers. There is a beautiful garden with pool, rooftop terrace with great views and a fab restaurant on site. Book online for free yoga classes and half day bike rental!
The Corner Hotel
Carrer de Mallorca, 178, 08036 Barcelona
The Corner Hotel is located in the bustling Eixample neighbourhood, surrounded by the best shopping streets in Barcelona and within easy walking distance to many of the major sights. The hotel is cosmopolitan but unpretentious, with friendly staff and a relaxed vibe. Rooms are a good size, modern, clean and quiet despite the busy location. The lounge bar is a popular spot for guests to relax and serves up reasonably priced drinks and snacks. There is also a rooftop terrace with pool and bar where you can relax after a day of sightseeing.
Casa Camper Barcelona
Carrer d’Elisabets, 11, 08001 Barcelona
In the vibrant Raval neighbourhood, a stone’s throw from the famous La Rambla, you’ll find the trendy design hotel Casa Camper Barcelona. The hotel features a cool, minimalist design featuring reds, whites and blacks but it manages to simultaneously exude a feeling of warmth and comfort. Rooms are spacious and well designed, many featuring a unique second living space across the corridor, and most face an inner vertical garden ensuring a quiet night’s sleep. Unique to Casa Camper hotels is the ‘Tentempie’, a 24 hour complimentary selection of fresh food and drinks that guests can enjoy in their room, in the lobby, or up on the rooftop terrace with its gorgeous views. The hotel is also surrounded by excellent cafes, restaurants and bars and is in a great central location for exploring the city.
The Wittmore
Carrer de Riudarenes, 7, 08002 El, Barcelona
Hidden away at the end of a lane in a quiet corner of the Gothic Quarter, The Wittmore is a little different to most hotels in Barcelona. Styled with dim lighting, plush furnishings and an adults-only, no photography rule this is the perfect place to escape to after a day of busy sightseeing. The hotel features a stylish restaurant, lounge and bar, as well as a stunning rooftop terrace with a plunge pool. Staff are attentive but discrete and this adds to the private club vibe. Rooms are helpfully classified in size from Tiny up to Suite, and feature more of the plush, lux furnishings found throughout the hotel. All rooms face an inner courtyard but in this spectacular city you’ll be spending most of your time out of the room anyway!
