In a classic vintage building steps from (yes that) Casa Milà. Plus a rooftop pool for when you’re all Gaudí’d out.

With the metro, bus station & railway so close, this gem is a solid spot to drop an anchor (if only for a night).

Ideal spot steps from Catalunya Square, near the boutiques, famous Ramblas, Gothic Quarter and Gaudí geniusness.

Less than a 10-minute walk to both the beach and the metro station. That's what we call a 'win-win'.

Unique space: a converted 70s-era office building, now with a solarium and infinity pool. If only all cubicles had that.

Right off the famous Avenida Diagonal, just a few paces from the waters of Mar Bella beach.

Goodbye carpet and tacky wallpaper; hello hardwood and hip design.

Located along the modernist route, with brag-worthy next door neighbor, Gaudí’s Paseo de Gracia. Point, ogle and Instagram accordingly.

Enviable spot near the Cathedral (obvs), boutiques, Plaça Sant Jaume & Portal de l’Angel. Gaudí groupie? Free WiFi helps you map out the key sights.

Lobby makes a bold style statement. Bar/breakfast area is more understated (without sacrificing an ounce of style, mind you).

In the big beating heart of Barcelona, where all of the cosmopolitan action is.

Each of the 63 rooms rocks a different destination theme – from London to Santorini – plus a free smartphone(!).

Pack your bathing suit, they've got a pool.
