The Most Family-Friendly Hotels in Barcelona
With beautiful beaches, the oldest theme park in Europe and delicious foods to try, there are plenty of things to entertain children in Barcelona. Fortunately, there are also lots of great places for little ones to rest their heads after a busy day of adventures. Here’s our guide to the best family hotels in Barcelona.
1. H10 Madison
Chain Hotel, Luxury
Kids need space, and this is in short supply when it comes to Barcelona hotels. The H10 Madison, however, is set in a big, beautifully restored building in the heart of the Ciutat Vella – so there’s plenty within walking distance, even for short legs. Adjoining rooms are an option, or junior suites sleep families of four. Children love to splash about in the rooftop pool here, and complimentary marshmallows are a sure-fire hit with the little ones in what might just be the top Barcelona family hotel.
2. Room Mate Carla
Boutique Hotel
When travelling with small children, bathrooms with tubs are a blessing, and most at the Room Mate Carla have just that. Tasty and healthy snacks can be a godsend too, and you need reach no further than the minibar to appease peckish kids. Triple rooms are perfect for small families, plus a particularly efficient laundry service is on hand for any accidents. A city centre location puts many of the best sights within kid-friendly walking distance.

Casa Gracia offers a home from home that happens to be adorable and also full of fun. It has numerous room options that fit up to six people, such as dorms with bunk beds, family rooms with individual beds, and apartments with private kitchens and TVs (and balconies on some). All rooms have a private bathroom and the option to use the communal kitchen, dining room and other spaces. The hotel also hosts numerous events in the basement, including folk performances, stand-up comedy and other live music. Plus, there’s weekly yoga to start your family’s morning with an energetic stretch. Casa Gracia also offers a walking tour, tapas tours and tips for exploring Barcelona on your own.

8. Hotel Barcelona Apolo

The family rooms here are ideal for those who want to holiday together but still have space to themselves. The rooms have two separate sleeping areas and can accommodate up to four people. In many rooms, two kids can have their own bed. Meanwhile, the lobby bar is perfect for adults who fancy a quick nightcap. During the day, families can explore nearby attractions, including the Jardins de Joan Brossa on Montjuïc.

10. Arai Aparthotel

12. Citadines Ramblas Barcelona

13. Hotel Nouvel
Hotel
Hotel Nouvel sits inside a preserved centuries-old building, making it a treat for the whole family, but what sets it apart from other places is the babysitting service. Leaving the kids safely with hotel staff means adult guests can head out for a night on the town. The hotel’s triple room is perfect for families as it has three beds – some rooms even have a private terrace.
