Classic façade with design-y interiors, strollable to Las Ramblas (for yet more strolling).

Crazy-high ceilings (7 metres!) and lighting that lets you change the colour of your room to suit your mood.

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

In the big beating heart of Barcelona, where all of the cosmopolitan action is.

Drops ya in the pedestrian-friendly historic centre, smack dab in between La Rambla & the waterfront.

Excellently located between the Diagonal and Verdaguer Metro stops at the edge of the Eixample.

Built in 1899, this historical building preserves its original features without skimping on mod cons like free WiFi.

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

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

Ideal setting where the Gothic Quarter and El Raval ‘hoods converge – walkable to tonnns of the biggies, plus local cafés and bars.

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

Ideal spot steps from Catalunya Square, near the boutiques, famous Ramblas, Gothic Quarter and Gaudí geniusness.

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.

Set in the chic former medieval village that is now the Sarrià-Sant Gervasi district.

An easy jaunt to the Plaza Sant Jaume, and all the shops, bars and restos in the lively El Born ‘hood.

Location is both quaint and convenient, on a pedestrian-only street in the middle of the old city.

Each of the 63 rooms rocks a different destination theme – from London to Santorini – plus a free smartphone(!).

Lounge-worthy rooftop pool with killer panoramic views is the perfect spot to spend your siesta.

Stylish, tasteful neutrals marked by Room Mate’s signature warmth, plus breakfast ’til noon. (Snooze accordingly.)

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

Put on at least semi-sensible shoes – lots to see nearby. Park de la Ciudadela, Triumph Arch, Gothic Barrio and Plaza Cataluña await.

Enviable spot near the Cathedral (obvs), boutiques, Plaça Sant Jaume & Portal de l’Angel. Gaudí groupie? Free WiFi helps you map out the key sights.

Don’t be fooled by the classic exterior. There's a Tootsie-Pop-like surprise inside. Make the trendy Lounge your 1st stop.

Lobby makes a bold style statement. Bar/breakfast area is more understated (without sacrificing an ounce of style, mind you).

Modernist building in a central spot just off that famous Ramblas.

Manages to toe the line between cosy and sleek, with homey rooms and a designer dining space.

An easy 5-min stroll from the Passeig de Gracia train station – steps from the lovely Plaça de Catalunya.

Goodbye carpet and tacky wallpaper; hello hardwood and hip design.

Free WiFi: you gotta have it, so they bring it.

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