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

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

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

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.

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

It’ll be hard to find a more airport-centric spot ‘cos these digs are set literally in Terminal 1.

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

You’ll appreciate the galactic-inspired décor and futuristic furniture even if you’re not a Trekkie.

Tucked on the outskirts of the city but walking distance from public transportation for easily reaching central Barcelona.

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

Hangry? Find food options that hit the spot, right in-house.

Close to Camp Nou as well as public transport for easy access to the city centre.

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

Semi-secret garden area rocks a pool and terrace. Soak up some rays or hide out under an umbrella (gossip mag optional, but sunnies essential).
