Hotel Brummell - Situated directly across from Montjuïc park and in one of the tastiest neighborhoods in town, you will feel right at home in this trendy yet comfy hotel in Poble Sec. The service is unparalleled at this casual hotel and the location is one of my favorites in town. For a splurge check into the penthouse suite with its own private terrace and dip pool.

Casa Bonay - Rooms here either face the wide, leafy Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes or the inner terraces of a classic Eixample block. Both options provide great views unique to an Eixample stay however I prefer the front-facing rooms with the antique, original hydraulic tile floors and wrought iron balconies overlooking the street below. Check out the “chiringuito” rooftop bar for a late afternoon apertivo.

Hoxton Poblenou - The hipster Hoxton brand is trusted and well-known with locations in the US and throughout Europe. The Barcelona hotel in Poblenou is no exception with sweeping rooftop views and a pool.

Cotton House Hotel - Looking to keep it classy? This hotel comes at a higher price but the difference is reflected in the chic rooms and level of service and attention to detail. Expect crisp, white linens, bright spaces and wide windows out to Gran Via below.

En Ville Apartments - If you are looking for accommodations with friends and/or family or just prefer to have a little more space with a kitchen then check out these self-service apartments in Sant Antoni. Each apartment has at least a balcony but some boast terraces looking over the inner block or the street below. Bonus! It is blocks from the marvelous Sant Antoni market!
