10 Boutique & Design Hotels in Barcelona

Barcelona boasts a long list of charming boutique hotels. These are our favorites.

Hotel Chic & Basic

Chic Basic Hotel El Born

Hotel Chic & Basic Born is situated in the trendy El Born neighborhood, a popular area to stay. The Parc de la Ciutadella is less than 100 meters away, and the beach is also nearby. The hotel is housed in a characteristic modernista building with high ceilings and beautiful details. The rooms are stylishly decorated, and the shower stalls in the middle of the rooms are a real eye-catcher, providing a unique lighting effect.

Hotel Casa Bonay

Hotel Casa Bonay Barcelona

Hotel Casa Bonay in the Eixample neighborhood is more of a concept than a hotel. Everything here, from the furniture to the staff’s clothing, is made by local designers. The lounge is a great place to start – or end – your day, but the rooftop terrace is also fantastic. The sleek designer rooms are on the small side, but some of them have a small terrace. The hotel includes a good coffee bar and a restaurant.

Sir Victor Hotel

Hotel Omm Barcelona

On Barcelona’s most expensive shopping street, the Passeig de Gràcia, you will find the chic and luxurious Sir Victor Hotel. The decor is modern, stylish and minimalist with futuristic elements. From the rooftop terrace you have a beautiful view of the city and of its “neighbors,” Casa Milà, one of the Antoni Gaudí-designed houses on the street. You can also take a dip in the pool. The breakfast is extensive, the beds comfortable and the rain shower more than welcome after a long day in the hot city.

Hotel Brummell

Hotel Brummell Barcelona

The location of Hotel Brummell may not be the most obvious, in the lesser known Poble-sec district on the edge of the Montjuïc hill, but this is something special. Hotel Brummell has a Scandinavian look, is filled with art and we love the urban vibe. The rooftop pool is on the small side, but the rest of the hotel and the super friendly staff certainly make up for that.

Casa Camper

Hotel Casa Camper, Barcelona

Casa Camper, by the locally famous shoe brand Camper from Mallorca, is a fresh design hotel with funny details, such as the bicycles on the ceiling. Your room here actually consists of two parts: a bedroom and living room. The hotel is located in the El Raval district, an immigrant neighborhood that has gained popularity in recent years.

Roca by numa

Roca Hotel Barcelona

If you’re into retro or vintage Roca in Eixample is a beautiful hotel. We absolutely love the handmade mosaic floor in the lounge and the beautiful tile work in the central hall, the vintage lighting, and the old-fashioned espresso machine and retro refrigerator in the lounge.

Each room is decorated differently. At the back of the accommodation, you can relax on the terrace. Breakfast is served in the little bar across the street, where locals also come to drink their cortado or café con leche in the morning. Roca is an affordable, fully digital option with no reception or staff.
