Steps from the Sants Station (hence the name). Hurry over – a welcoming committee (in the form of local food basket goodies) awaits.

Just one street away from the Plaça de Catalunya (there’s also a handy nearby subway if you’re in the mood to venture further afield).

Striking, ornate lobby is designed to impress – and does.

An ideal base location for day trips, adventures or just general jaunts.

Shopper alert: primo spot 150 feet from Passeig de Gracia Blvd. (Close enough to wear your non-sensible shoes.)

New fitness room was just added on the 7th floor, should you overdo it on the patatas braves.

Don’t be fooled by the traditional exterior. Chic modern vibe inside dazzles with classy neutrals.

Light-filled home base courtesy of floor-to-ceiling windows. (They are happy to be of service.)

Cheery palette and playful design touches give this place an upbeat eclectic vibe.

Perched above a passageway once used by merchants and visitors. Stylish décor offers a nod to local textile industry roots.

Rooms might be petite, but every inch is maxed out with retro-chic style & vintage deets.

The ever-hopping La Rambla is just a stroll away.

Done up in classic Kimpton stylish-ness – with tapas and sweet city views from the rooftop bar and pool deck.

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

Next to the lively Francesc Macià square, and named in honour of Mae West, the saucy 1930s actress known for her irony.

Nestled within the Golden Triangle and strolling distance from Las Ramblas. (Location, location... you get it.)

Thankfully away from the buzz yet with direct metro access to Barcelona’s lively Gran Via.

Building is classic, rooms are sleek and contemporary.

Set along one of the most exclusive streets in the city, Passeig de Gracia, it speaks to international elegance.

From the sexy, curvy furniture in the lobby to the pink mood lighting in the rooms, every inch of this place fosters a fun chill-out vibe.

A real retreat: part of the 'Slow Travel' movement to take time to not just smell those roses, but inhale the aromas deeply and sincerely.

Each room’s a little different… just like you, snowflake.

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

19th-century palace still boasts the original façade, floor and central staircase.

Reno’d neoclassical gem from 1869 – tho they kept the mosaic tile floors, high ceilings & killer sliding doors. They were just too good to update.

Blocks from museums, eats & shops (go ahead and sleep in since you won’t be spending time on travel).

Perched in the heart of Old Town, steps from the city’s famous Las Ramblas with its Boqueria Market, street performers and shops.

City-view rooftop terrace is your new favorite hangout.

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

Quick, nab the house bikes before your fellow guests grab ‘em.
