Catalonia’s colourful capital combines everything that is most charming about Mediterranean cities – a relaxed pace, months of endless sunshine, unbeatable food – with culture and design. Over the last decade or so, Barcelona’s hoteliers have worked hard to create unique, beautifully designed spaces that reflect the nature of this quirky city, frequently repurposing historic buildings in a way that preserves the original features and style.
In these characterful urban hideaways – many with panoramic rooftops – the cons are thoroughly mod and you can expect high-quality fabrics and furnishings in an array of individual styles, along with the more personal approach to service at which smaller hotels excel. All located in popular areas of the city, such as the Gothic Quarter, the Old Town and Central, here’s our pick of the best boutique hotels in Barcelona to seek out for your stay.
