Nothing like a good ol' fashioned game of Marco Polo in the pool.

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

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

It’s the spectacular, can’t-miss-it mod building smack-dab in front of the Forum and Congress & Convention Centre.

In a city bursting with culture, you'll be right by one of the biggest (and most Barcelona-est) attractions – the Sagrada Familia.

Gardeny setting off the A9 motorway between Perpignan and Barcelona, with perks like a gift shop and playground for the kiddos.

Ideal spot in the centre, steps from Perpignan Cathedral and a 15-min drive from the Mediterranean.

Free WiFi satisfies both biz travelers and social media addicts.

Homey, laid-back rooms keep life (and sleeping) simple.

Park yourself here for F1 events at the nearby Circuit de Catalunya Racetrack. (Walkable!)

Close to the centre and only a 30-min drive to Barcelona (mini road trip!).

A pretty, colourful space in the centre of town - but certainly close enough to the sea, too.

Packed in a hurry? Augment your wardrobe (or start over completely) with a stop at El Centre del Món (2 mins away).

Right off the AP7, 7km from El Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya race track(!). Fuel up on breakfast before heading out.
