Splurge – Hotel 1898

Centrally located right on La Rambla, this five-star hotel gives you easy access to most of the city’s must-see sights. The Gothic neighbourhood, Palau de la Musica Catalana,  and Plaza Catalunya are all only minutes away by foot. If you’re afraid the street noise might get too much, simply ask for a room towards the back, where you’ll be able to sleep in peace. And should all that walking about take its toll on your feet, simply pop into the hotel’s spa and ask for a foot massage, or just lie back and relax in while indulging in a full body massage.

Midrange – Villa Emilia

This stylish little boutique hotel is situated just off the city centre and has only 53 rooms - perfect for those of you craving a little peace and quiet. This is also one of the few pet-friendly places around, so if you can’t bare to leave your furry little darling behind, then take them along on holiday! If all your sightseeing is giving you a bit of an appetite, simply head back here and make a beeline for their free coffee and croissants, which are dished out between 5 to 7pm.

Budget – Hosteria Grau

If you’re looking for somewhere that’s inexpensive yet close to the city centre, then book yourself a room at this little place! Unlike most other budget places which tend to be a fair way away from the action, this historic building is just a short walk from La Rambla and only minutes away from Plaza Catalunya. Although billed as a hostel, the rooms are more similar to bed-and-breakfast style accommodation, which is great if you’re hesitant about sharing bathrooms with a bunch of drunk backpackers.
