Hotel Park
11 Avinguda Marquès de l’Argentera 11 • 93 319 6000

Built between 1950 and 1953, this landmark hotel is a
design classic. One of the city’s earliest post-war
Modernist buildings, it was constructed by prestigious
Catalan architect Antoni Moragas, and handsomely
restored by his son in 1990. The lobby bar is a gem,
with its pairing of smooth chrome and a shimmering
mosaic of white and turquoise tiles. However, it is the
gorgeous wraparound staircase, spiralling sinuously,
that provides the main highlight of the interior.
The rooms – which are smallish but extremely
comfortable – have all been refurbished over the last
few years in tasteful browns and creams. Best of the
lot are the top floor rooms with balconies – they have
fabulous views over the harbour.
Close to the chic boutiques and nightlife of the
Born, the location is also handy for Barceloneta, the
beaches and lovely Parc de la Ciutadella.

Gat Raval Hotel
C/Joaquín Costa 44 • 93 481 6670

Easily the hippest budget hotel in the city, Gat Raval
is strikingly painted in a gleaming white and lime
green colour scheme. Huge blown-up photographs of
Barcelona give it a cool, urban feel, and it has quickly
become one of the most popular hostals in the city,
so early booking is essential. (Be warned, however –
the online booking system is erratic, so it is best to
confirm your reservation by phone.)
The 24 rooms are basic but immaculate, and all are
decorated with crisp modern fabrics and furnishings;
not all have en-suite bathrooms. However, all do have
TVs, and there is free Internet access available to
guests. The best rooms have views of MACBA (see
p77). The funky nightlife, galleries, restaurants and
shopping of trendy Raval is on the doorstep, and the
friendly staff are happy to give pointers to the
neighbourhood’s best attractions.

Hotel Peninsular
C/Sant Pau 34–6 93 302 3138

A simple, peaceful retreat, the Peninsular was
converted from a convent into an intimate little hotel
back in 1870. It is perfectly set just a block away from
the chaotic Ramblas, and is one of the best budget
choices in the city. The building’s central feature is a
luminous atrium. Light pours in from a delicate skylight,
and trailing plants spill through the stairwell.
Tiled galleries fringe this space, with bedrooms
leading off. The rooms are plain and functional –
though presumably not quite as ascetic as they were
when nuns lived here in the 19th century.
The antique furniture and fittings may have seen
better days, but the walls are crisply painted in white
and mint green, and everything is kept spotless. All
rooms have en-suite bathrooms and air-conditioning
– indispensable in the sultry summer heat. Breakfast
is served in a high-ceilinged dining hall.

Hotel Sant Agustí
Plaça de Sant Agustí 3 • 93 318 1658

Dating from 1840, this is the oldest hotel in the city. Its peach-painted
façade fronts a handsome square that is dominated by an equally fine
church. Despite the heritage of the building – it was a convent before
becoming a hotel – the rooms are crisply modern, with smart, if slightly
bland, decoration. Those in the attic have a touch of old-world charm
thanks to exposed beams and sturdy wooden.

Hotel Axel top-notch gay hotel
C/Aribau 33 • 93 323 9397

Barcelona’s best gay hotel, located close to the sights
and shopping of Passeig de Gràcia. Many of the chic,
contemporary rooms and suites have balconies, and
the excellent amenities include a roof-top bar with
fabulous views, a dipping pool, a boutique selling
designer fashion, and a decent restaurant.
