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

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

Cheeky reinvented 50s vibe, with retro graphic patterns in the common areas, and minimalist vibe in the rooms.

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

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.

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

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

Free WiFi, so you can brag about your cool trip in real time.

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

Less than 10km from the centre of Barcelona, and well-connected via public transpo. (Plus free airport shuttle.)

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).

Attractive accommodations in Collblanc y La Torrassa, convenient to two nearby metro stations for easy exploring.

Tasty food and drinks are at the ready at onsite GourmetBar.
