5 Historic Barcelona Hotels



Barcelona is known as beautiful by all locals and visitors. It’s easy to appreciate this beauty while you’re wandering about, but in order to make your stay even more enjoyable, you need to stay at the right hotel. While there are many hotels to choose from in Barcelona, it’s recommended that you stay at one of the more unique hotels, which will give you the most memorable Barcelona experience.



Hotel Principal is the least unique hotel on this list, but it’s still unique enough to qualify, and it’s the perfect choice if you’re looking for convenience. Hotel Principal is close to museums, shopping, Las Ramblas and the metro. The rooms are large, and you will get free WiFi. What makes this hotel unique is that many rooms come with two balconies.



987 Barcelona Hotel is a masterpiece. Even travelers have given it the highest rating possible. This hotel features dark wood walls and soft green lighting, which works perfectly. The bathrooms here are enormous and come with a tub and shower. Every room has a terrace. The bar, breakfast area and restaurant are standout features.



W Barcelona was designed by Ricardo Bofill, possibly the most famous architect in Spain. This is a beachfront hotel with enormous windows, which allow you to enjoy views of the sea and city, depending on which side of the hotel your room is on. The hotel restaurant is top of the line, and the Barcelona Boardwalk is only a few steps away.



Expo Hotel Barcelona has a rooftop pool and offers outdoor candlelit dinners. That should be all you need to know if you’re traveling for romance. However, the water pressure for the showers is also amazing, which is often underappreciated by travelers.



Hotel Acta Mimic Barcelona is like a modern art museum. The most impressive features here are the basement lobby and the breakfast area. The steel-top front desk is also impressive, and it gives you a great first impression.
