The Most Romantic Hotels in Barcelona
With a late-night culture, seductive culinary scene and voluptuous architecture, Barcelona has long been a popular destination for romantic getaways. For the perfect break for two, though, you’ll need your accommodation to be every bit as seductive as the city itself. Luckily, there’s a wealth of dreamy choices offering everything from rose-garnished beds to outdoor bathtubs. Read on for Culture Trip’s selection of the most romantic hotels in Barcelona – they’re all bookable on Culture Trip.
1. Cotton House Hotel, Autograph Collection
Hotel
This luxury Marriott hotel is housed in a 19th-century building that once served as HQ for the Association of Cotton House Manufacturers. For a memorable romantic stay, book one of the opulent suites, which feature draped four-poster beds, vaulted ceilings with original frescoes, and balconies looking over Gran Via, one of the busiest streets in Barcelona. You’ll also have access to the neighbouring Mayan Spa for couples’ massages, and to a rooftop plunge pool with views of La Sagrada Familia.
2. H10 Art Gallery
Hotel
In the smart Eixample neighbourhood, four-star H10 Art Gallery has two romantic spaces in which to relax: an intimate patio centred around a century-old olive tree and a rooftop terrace with a pool, loungers and a cocktail service. Each floor’s soundproofed, ensuite bedrooms take inspiration from artists such as Francis Bacon and Andy Warhol, and the hotel also has a notable collection of works by Joan Miro and Miquel Barcelo. A buffet breakfast is available for an additional fee.
3. Casa Bonay
Boutique Hotel, Hotel
Soulful boutique Casa Bonay offers rooms in a townhouse dating from 1869, in which original features such as mosaic floors and sliding doors have been carefully preserved. Accommodations in the Catalan capital don’t come much sexier than the courtyard doubles with large terraces, which feature secluded patios with outdoor showers and hammocks. Enjoy tapas and beers on the roof, or head to the Libertine bar for cocktails and live DJs. The Bodega Bonay restaurant showcases the finest Catalan wines and produce.
5. Roca Rooms & Apartments
Boutique Hotel
Roca offers vintage accommodations across two historic buildings in the heart of Eixample. Couples will love the deluxe doubles or the studios, all of which have intimate terraces or balconies, retro furniture and Magic-Eye-style mosaic floors (the studios also have kitchenettes). Breakfast, drinks and snacks are served in a ground-floor lounge decorated with mid-century furniture and more hypnotic tile work. La Rambla and the Boqueria Market, two of the most famous attractions in Barcelona, are both about a 20-minute walk away.
6. Hotel 1898
Hotel, Boutique Hotel
Built in 1880 and named after the year in which Spain lost the last two outposts of its empire, Cuba and the Philippines, this is the only hotel on La Rambla with a thermal water circuit and indoor pool (the luxury spa occupies the building’s former coal cellars). La Isabela roof terrace is one of the most romantic spots in the city at sunset, offering highly photogenic views, innovative cocktails, tapas and chilled music. The Superior Rooms and Colonial Suites look directly onto La Rambla.

You can also surprise your partner by having a bouquet delivered to the suite, or by treating them to an in-room massage.
