Boutique Hotels in Barcelona, Spain

Dominated by the still-uncompleted spires and turrets of Antoni Gaudi’s Basílica de la Sagrada Família, the capital city of Spain’s Catalonia province buzzes with vitality and passion. The fiery spirit of the Catalan people infuses Barcelona with a heady mixture of romance, leisure and what the Catalans call “gusto”…taste. Everything in Barcelona is conducted with flair, and when you and your partner arrive for a weekend away, or, perhaps, an extended holiday, you will soon also be caught up in the captivating love of life that makes the city a favourite European destination for lovers of boutique hotel escapades.

With a rich history spanning more than 2000 years, the museums and art galleries of Barcelona will astound and captivate the most demanding culture vultures. The narrow streets in the beautiful old town quarter known as El Gotico are crammed with inglenook cafes and tiny local restaurants where you can imbibe the flavours of Catalonia (and the world), and soak up the street-level lives of the locals. If you feel like a higher experience, you can sip a cocktail at a rooftop bar and stare out across the dreaming spires of the cathedral, Gaudi’s masterwork, with the city of Barcelona spread out below you.
