Hotels in Barcelona
Five Star | Four Star | Three Star | Two Star | One Star
Barcelona is home to some of the world’s top five star luxury hotels. However, there is also a wide variety of hotels in every star category as well as simple accommodation in the form of “pensiones”, “hostales” and youth hostels which are called “albergues” in Spanish.
Thanks to events such as the 1992 Olympics, this cosmopolitan European city is ready to greet royalty, top international film and music stars, world leaders and the like. However, keep in mind that each and every one of these hotel establishments will happily roll out the red carpet for you too. So don’t hesitate to treat yourself to a night in one of Barcelona’s best hotels.
