Anyone with hotel recs for Barcelona?

Stayed at the W, right on the edge of the Barceloneta neighborhood, when I was last there. Fat, really nice place; odd decor, though, remember the hallways look like something out of The Shining.

Check the Four Points by Sheraton Barcelona Diagonal.

I stayed there, and it's a ten minute walk from the beach (7 blocks), and on the boulevard that everyone takes to get there. It's almost half the cost of the W (just based on what I saw when I pulled the exact name off of Marriott's website a few seconds ago). It's an easy walk to the Gothic quarter.

There is a grocery two blocks from the hotel, and an endless string of cafes and pubs between the hotel and the beach. It's a short walk to the metro station, as well.

Try the Saint in New Orleans. Weird lighting in the hallways, probably not the best choice for drunk asses coming in from the quarter.

We stayed at the 45 Times; at the time it was the Iberostar. A very short walk to the Gothic Quarter or the Ramblas.

From what I remember, when we stayed at the hotel i recommended above, we could walk to Las Ramblas in about 15 minutes and we had to pass through the Gothic Quarter to get there.

It’s been a few years since I visited Barca. Things may have changed in recent years. I don’t recall ever feeling unsafe. We probably walked upwards of 8 miles per day and used public transportation exclusively.

The hotel had public transportation right in front of it. The place was a bit removed from the action; but, we aren’t afraid of walking. The place was new’ish at the time and felt like a great value relative to its price point. I’m not sure if it’s changed after new ownership; but, the breakfast buffet there was one for the ages. I still think about them made to order Iberico ham omelettes. LOL…

We stayed at The Monument Hotel. Great hotel, with Michelin star restaurants, etc. We unfortunately missed our first night due to a flight delay, but still enjoyed the one night we stayed there and will stay there next time we go.

Stayed at Hotel 1898. It’s on Las Ramblas, near Plaza Catalonia. Not far from the cathedral. Nice rooftop bar. Would recommend.

Not Gothic Quarter, but I stayed at the Hilton Diagonal Mar last year and it was excellent

Hotel Majestic is awesome.
