Welcome to Barcelona

From eclectic architecture to laid-back beaches, there’s a lot to love about Barcelona! If you enjoy buildings that look like they’ve been pulled straight out of a storybook, you’re probably a fan of Antoni Gaudí. The city is infused with his distinct architectural style and no trip to Barcelona is complete without a visit to Park Güell, Casa Batlló and, of course, the famously incomplete Sagrada Família. Construction began on Barcelona’s iconic basilica in 1882 and continues to this day, reminding us that great art takes time. Speaking of art, explore the impressive collections at the Picasso Museum and the National Art Museum of Catalonia while you’re here! Getting hungry? Take a stroll through the narrow, cobbled streets of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter or along the vibrant, tree-lined Las Ramblas in search of the best tapas in town!

When it comes to booking Barcelona accommodation, there are lots of options. From five-star luxury stays and family-friendly hotels to more affordable rooms in the heart of the city – you're sure to find what you’re looking for here! Browse the deals below and book your Barcelona stay today.

Where to stay in Barcelona

Where to stay in Barcelona

Picking where to stay in Barcelona depends on your holiday style. While sightseeing is top of everyone’s list – you don’t want to miss architectural masterpieces like Gaudi’s La Sagrada Familia, or visiting the iconic Picasso Museum – consider how you’d like to unwind afterwards. There are many places to stay in Barcelona and each has its own vibe. For a lively social scene, look for accommodation options along La Rambla and around Placa Catalunya. Quieter evenings can be found in the Gothic Quarter or Poble Sec. If five-star is the only way you travel, then Eixample is your home away from home.

  • Placa Catalunya

    The largest square in Barcelona, Placa Catalunya is considered the heart of the city – it's where many of Barcelona's main streets meet. Stay here and you'll be in the thick of the city, close to the buzzing social scene and popular attractions like La Rambla and the Gothic Quarter. The trade-off: the cost of rooms in nearby hotels tend to be a little bit higher.

  • La Rambla

    Connecting Placa Catalunya with the Christopher Columbus Monument, the tree-lined La Rambla is a thriving pedestrianised street. Enjoy your pick of shopping opportunities, take a trip to the La Boqueria food market, and make sure you stop to admire the Miro Mosaic, created by famous artist Joan Miro. There's a good selection of hotels along La Rambla, but do be prepared for some noise if staying here.

  • Gothic Quarter

    Soak up the culture and architecture of Barcelona in one of the oldest parts of the city: the Gothic Quarter. Let the narrow, winding streets guide you to the many laidback bars, cafes and restaurants. Lodgings range from apartments to boutique hotels, so there's something to suit every style of holiday.

  • Poble Sec

    Poble Sec is nestled between Montjuic and Parallel Avenue (named so as it runs parallel to the equator). A 20-minute walk from La Rambla, book accommodation here and you'll enjoy peaceful, laidback evenings. Reflect on the day's sightseeing over some tapas in one of the many restaurants, or head to one of the nearby theatres, like the El Molino or Teatre Grec.

  • Gracia

    Enjoy an upbeat community feel when staying in Gracia. Until the 19th century, it was an independent town – a proud identity that many of Gracia's residents hold on to. The area attracts a bohemian and artsy crowd, so it offers a very different vibe to central Barcelona. Gracia is well serviced by the Metro and offers a range of guesthouses, apartments and comfortable hotels.

  • Eixample

    Translated, the word ‘Eixample' means ‘expansion' and that's what this area does – it joins Old Town Barcelona with surrounding areas, like Gracia. Make Eixample your base if you're interested in seeing Gaudi's La Sagrada Familia (the unfinished church) or indulging in designer retail therapy. Five-star accommodation is the order of the day when staying here.

FAQs about stays in Barcelona

If staying in the centre of the action near the Sagrada Família and Casa Batlló is a top priority, look for hotels in Eixample. Its prime location often comes with a higher price tag and there are lots of luxury stays available in this area, but basing yourself here will make hitting all the spots on your itinerary a breeze. Book a hotel in the Gothic Quarter if you prefer narrow, winding streets packed with trendy cafés, bars and restaurants, or head to Gràcia for bohemian vibes, boutique shopping and easy access to Park Güell. Chasing the best nightlife in town? You’ll love El Born!
