Petit Palace Eixample

Set in Eixample on Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, this hotel puts you in a brilliant spot for getting stuck into Barcelona. Plaça de Catalunya is within easy reach, Passeig de Gràcia’s shops and Gaudí glamour are close by, and Universitat metro is just a short walk away, so hopping between the Gothic Quarter, Las Ramblas and the Sagrada Família feels wonderfully simple. It’s the kind of location that lets you do Barcelona your way, whether that means culture by day, tapas by night or a little of everything in between.

There’s plenty to like beyond the postcode at this hotel. The rooftop pool and jacuzzi are the headline act, with a solarium terrace made for sunny breathers between city adventures. There’s also a healthy buffet breakfast to get the day off to a strong start, plus private parking and a pet-friendly setup that adds a practical edge to the boutique feel. Dining nearby is easy too, with Eixample packed full of cafés, bars and restaurants for everything from quick coffees to long, lazy dinners. This is a smart, central pick for a Barcelona break with a little extra sparkle. Book it, grab your sunglasses and let the city do the rest.
