The Barcelona Edition

Guest bedroom at The Barcelona EDITION hotel

Famed hotelier Ian Schrager has an eye for on-trend cities and locations, and the newly-built Barcelona Edition hits both those nails on the head. Located right next to the fab Santa Caterina market, Edition is smack-bang in the middle of the Barcelona action.

With 100 rooms (which is at the edge of what I’d consider a boutique hotel) you get that feel that you’re more than a mere number here.

Bathroom at The Barcelona Edition hotel

Rooms start at 24 sq m (258 sq ft), and are finished in neutral tones. You also get a Nespresso machine, and all the tech gadgetry you’d expect, including free Internet. Our pick would be the rooms with the Santa Caterina view, though the extra charge may be a bit much. Edition is hardly a budget option, though the location is hard to beat, and there are few new builds in this part of town.

Also, there’s a terrific rooftop space with a small plunge pool, though the bar here is open to the public.

Hotel Arts Barcelona

Hotel Arts is like a bookend to Barcelona’s main beach, with the W at the other end. Arts is a long way from being the cheapest accommodation in town, but for foodies the price may be worth it – two-Michelin-star Enoteca Paco Pérez is in the building – and the service and views across the Med can’t really be matched.
