Hotel Sagrada Familia

Like the name suggests, this hotel is just around the corner from the famous Sagrada Família, the largest unfinished Catholic church in the world. It’s so impressive that UNESCO made it a World Heritage Site in 1984, because of its unique architecture and the fact that it’s a work of art by architect and designer Antoni Gaudí. This incredible landmark is reachable on foot in around five minutes, being just two blocks away from the hotel.

When you’re back at base after a day out exploring the city’s sights, Hotel Sagrada Familia provides a comfortable and contemporary stay. There’s a roof terrace with wooden decking to relax on and catch some rays and views, before retiring to your lodgings. Expect a modern, minimalistic room with air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a flatscreen TV, and a private bathroom. If you want the extra space, choose a room with a balcony where you can sit out in the sun with a drop of sangria.

A simple breakfast is served daily here from the buffet, and there’s a snack and coffee machine to keep you going. When you’re in Barcelona, the best way to eat is to dive into a traditional taverna and try the local fare, including tapas, paella, and fresh seafood. This convenient base is a short metro ride from some of the best foodie areas, including the Gothic Quarter and Las Ramblas.
