The 34 Best Hotels in Barcelona

"The smart lobby of the Grand Hotel Central looks like what you’d expect a city-center five-star hotel, but with an exciting new twist. The hotel reopened in mid-2024 under new management following a major refurb, and we’re obsessed with the new look. The redesign has given the rooms a cool, colorful, and decidedly Mediterranean vibe (to replace the rather corporate—dare we say, slightly soulless—former look). Natural materials like wood, stone and polished concrete, combined with a soft color palette of warm terracotta, muted blues, and blush pinks, create a relaxed, homey feel. All the furniture is bespoke and inspired by the Catalan Noucentisme movement–from the lighting to coffee tables and headboards, designed to emphasize clean lines, color reduction and harmony. Bathroom amenities and a house scent from the Barcelona-based Carner perfumiers fill the space with a deliciously sensual aroma." - Gemma Askham, Isabelle Kliger
