From $498/ night
An 18th-century palace on a quiet medieval square in the Gothic Quarter, with a roof terrace above Plaça de Sant Felip Neri.
Barcelona is Spain's top boutique hotel destination, and it has the variety to match. The medieval lanes of the Gothic Quarter hide small hotels in centuries-old palaces, many with roof terraces looking over the cathedral and the old town's squares. A short walk north, the Eixample's grid of modernist buildings holds grander addresses on and around Passeig de Gràcia.
The Gothic Quarter and El Born suit travelers who want to step straight out into the old city's restaurants and bars. The Eixample is calmer and closer to Gaudí's buildings, while Poble Sec and Sant Antoni have a more local feel and some of the city's best tapas.
Barcelona is busy all year, so book well ahead for spring, summer and major events. Many small hotels have rooftop terraces or plunge pools, which make a real difference in the warmer months.
