Barcelona is a city of whimsy; a destination into the colorful imagination of Gaudi and the passion of the Spanish. It’s the sort of city where flavors converge, romance ignites and serendipitous encounters transpire. While a visit to Barcelona can be done on any budget, nothing quite compares to a luxurious stay in this iconic city. Here, Culture Trip compiles the best luxury hotels for the high end traveler.

Hotel Arts

Considered for a while to be the top-end hotel in Barcelona, the Hotel Arts remains a top destination for those looking for that large luxury hotel feel. The 483 rooms spread across the 44 storeys of this high-tech building offer undisturbed views of the waterfront or the city, which you can also enjoy from one of the luxury outdoor terraces. There are a total of six bars and restaurants within the hotel itself, including the two-Michelin star Enoteca restaurant, and you’re just a short taxi ride or walk from the city centre.

Hotel Neri

This is an elegant boutique hotel tucked away in the streets of the enchanting Gothic Quarter, near the old Jewish part known as ‘El Call‘. The Hotel Neri is set inside a former palace which dates back to the 12th Century and has preserved all of its original charm but with a luxury feel and elegant décor – a true hidden gem. The rooms are carefully designed, each with their own unique character, but with all the modern conveniences you could need. Set alongside the Cathedral and the main sites of the Old Town, this is the perfect place to loose yourself in Gothic Barcelona.

Casa Bonay

This recent newcomer on Barcelona’s luxury hotel scene in Barcelona offers a taste of contemporary Catalan style with an elegant, cosmopolitan feel. The décor in Casa Bonay is endlessly chic but also preserves something of the original feel of this 19th Century mansion: the mesmerising patterned tiles on the floor, the marble fireplaces. Run by a group of young entrepreneurs, it’s more than just a hotel, it’s a collective –from the juice house Mother to the coffee stall run by Satan’s Coffee Corner. This is a cool urban hangout which will give you a real feel for the city’s spirit.

Casa Bonay, Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, 700, Barcelona
