Famously proud, culturally dynamic and economically self-sufficient,
Barcelona hotels are hotels which pulls out all the stops. It behaves like a capital, even thinks it’s a capital, much to the chagrin of Madrid. Why? Because it boasts architectural style, sophisticated cuisine, sharp design, world-class music, plenty of art and
Barcelona hotels. Stroll down the broad, elegant avenues of Eixample, or meander through the backstreets of the Gothic Quarter, and you can’t miss a sense of history that magnetises the stones. And, as
Barcelona hotels are characterised by a profitable tandem of innovation and business acumen, however often you return, there will always be something new on the agenda. As VS Pritchett wrote in 1954, “The
hotels in Barcelona lives outwardly. If there is fantasy in his head, he wants at once to turn it into commerce, into action, into stone.” Fifty years on, these words still hold true.
Three highpoints are reflected in the city’s most striking structures: Gothic; modernista, and ultra-contemporary. The first period coincided with the introduction of democracy (bringing an enduring sense of equality) and with the beginning of a golden age when
hotels in Barcelona were at the head of a Mediterranean empire.
