This contemporary property offers a wide array of facilities, including an outdoor plunge pool, outdoor spa tub, sauna, fitness room and upscale restaurant. The 97 rooms have modern, streamlined decor, but some are quite small. The location in the financial area of the Eixample district is a little far from central Barcelona attractions by foot, but prices are a bit lower here, and the Barcelona Sants station two blocks away offers access to the rest of the city.

The 70-room mid-range HCC Lugano is near the Placa d'Espanya, the famous Magic Fountain of Montjuic, and the National Art Museum of Catalonia. In a new building along Barcelona’s busy Avinguda Paral-lel, the beige-and-gray-toned rooms can feel spare and underwhelming, especially when compared with the stylish first impression the hotel makes upon arrival. HCC Lugano is within a five-minute walk of the Poble Sec metro station, and it's a 15-minute ride to the tree-lined Las Ramblas. Travelers looking for more stylish rooms in Barcelona’s Ciutat Vella -- or old city -- should check out Ciutat de Barcelona Hotel, which has a small, outdoor pool and similar rates to the HCC Lugano

The 74-room luxury Hotel Catalonia Passeig de Gracia is located in the heart of Barcelona's posh Eixample, just down the block from Passeig de Gracia’s high-end shops and trendy boutiques. The hotel offers classically elegant, spacious rooms with luxury features such as in-room massages, and there's an excellent on-site restaurant, Les Delicies. The outdoor terrace and pool are great after long days of sightseeing, and free snacks in the evening are a nice touch, though breakfast isn't always included. Guests looking to stay in the heart of the Old City can find similarly priced rooms and amenities at the hotel's sister property -- Catalonia Portal de l’Angel -- or at Hotel Barcelona Catedral.

Ofelias Hotel is an appealing three-and-a-half-pearl boutique hotel in western Eixample, just off Plaza de Espana and a five-minute walk from Fira de Barcelona. It's a bit far from Las Ramblas and major city-center attractions, but the Plaza Espana Metro station is just a two-minute walk away. The 44 rooms have a minimalist boutique look with artsy details, and all come with air-conditioning, iPod docks, and flat-screen TVs. Some feature balconies and/or jetted tubs. The property is a little light on facilities, but it does offer an ample hot-and-cold breakfast buffet and seasonal rooftop plunge pool. For something with a similar boutique feel that's closer to the city's historic neighborhoods, check out the wine-themed Hotel Praktik Vinoteca, which is a 10-minute walk to Las Ramblas, but lacks a pool.

Hotel Blauet is a clean, no-frills budget property with few extra amenities, situated about a 10-minute drive from Barcelona–El Prat Airport. The property features mostly single and double rooms, all of which are small and simple but well-maintained, with private en-suite bathrooms, seasonal AC, televisions, and free Wi-Fi (though some guests claim it's spotty). Rooms lack the usual perks, though, like toiletries, hairdryers, and kettles. Extra features are limited, too, though a sparse but inexpensive continental breakfast is offered daily and there's a simple lounge and a pretty nice courtyard terrace with sitting areas. Taxis to the airport can be pricey, so guests might actually save money, depending on the season, at a higher-pearl hotel that offers a free shuttle, like Salles Hotel Ciutat del Prat.

The mid-range, 91-room Hotel HCC St. Moritz is housed in a lovely 19th-century building in the central Eixample neighborhood, near sights and public transportation. Unfortunately, the hotel's interior spaces don't match the elegance of its facade. The restaurant and bar are a bit drab and chain-like , and the generic vibe continues in the guest rooms, which seem caught between modern and dated. Additionally, bathrooms are on the small side and no kettles are provided. Still, rooms are spacious and outfitted with flat-screen TVs, safes, and hairdryers. A restaurant serving a breakfast buffet (fee) and free Wi-Fi are definite pluses, but it's the hotel's central location that's the main draw. The nearby and similarly priced Hotel Vueling BCN by Hc is an upscale pick with a small outdoor pool, gym, and more attractive rooms.

With a 19th century facade, stunning interior design, chic rooms, and a hard-to-beat location in Eixample, the upper-middle-range Room Mate Carla is a pretty solid choice. A lack of amenities do take things down a notch -- there's no full-service restaurant or wellness facilities, for example -- though there is a lobby bar, small but chic courtyard, and a nice breakfast buffet served until late. The 88 rooms are trendy, too, pairing minimalistic white furniture with bright, retro pops of color. Amenities include rainfall showers, flat-screen TVs, generously stocked minibars, and free Wi-Fi. Travelers could also comparison shop with Room Mate Anna, the hotel group's flagship property in Paseo de Gracia, which adds extras like antique details, a rooftop pool, and sauna.

Located in the popular L'Eixample neighborhood, the three-pearl Hotel Sant Antoni is a good base for travelers looking to balance expense with proximity to the city center. It's a solid value, and it's close to public transportation, with a metro station a three-minute walk away. The hotel's 45 contemporary guest rooms are nicely equipped with AC, flat-screen TVs, minibars, electric kettles with free tea and instant coffee, and free Wi-Fi. Bathrooms are sleek, and most have roomy walk-in rainfall showers. Breakfast isn't included (unless booked directly), but the breakfast room opens in the afternoon for free coffee and tea. Travelers looking for an upscale stay in the neighborhood can check out the nearby Eurostars Monumental.

The 58-room Market Hotel is a mid-range boutique property housed in an older building at the edge of Barcelona's Eixample neighborhood. The on-site Market Restaurant and Bar Rosso are popular with locals and tourists alike, and the bar has an excellent cocktail menu. The immediate area isn’t particularly appealing, but the hotel is within walking distance of Barcelona’s hipsterish El Raval neighborhood and La Rambla. For the same price, Hesperria Barri Gotic Hotel offers similar amenites and has a more central location, though the rooms aren't as charming as those at the Market Hotel.

Located right in the heart of Las Ramblas, within walking distance of most major attractions and famous restaurants and shops, the upper-middle-range Eurostars Ramblas is a good pick for a first visit to Barcelona. Rooms are compact yet stylish, with minimalist contemporary decor, free Wi-Fi, and LCD TVs with international channels. Limited storage space may be an issue for those traveling with big suitcases, though, and some may find the frosted-glass bathroom doors lacking in privacy. A small, tasty breakfast buffet is available daily for a fee, and airport transfers can be booked at the front desk, but there are no other on-site amenities or services available. In this price range, the upscale Olivia Balmes Hotel offers better value, with a rooftop infinity pool, a fitness center, and a solid restaurant on-site.
