Tip from tour guide
W Barcelona, one of the stylish hotels in the city, not only offers creature comforts but also places you close to the beautiful Passeig Joan de Borbó in the Barceloneta district. Interestingly, this area was once an old fishermen's quarter, situated in an area that was previously almost uninhabited. It was the proximity to the sea that attracted the fisherfolk, making them the first settlers in this part of the city.
5. Hotel Arts Barcelona (From 358 USD)
Incredible service, pool area and location. We were fortunate enough to be upgraded to one of the apartments which was a truly beautiful room and experience. Would recommend this hotel very highly indeed

7. Hotel Neri (From 425 USD)
Stunning property in fabulous location. Loved the interiors with quirky art installations (the Boa Sofa was quite the hit with the boys). The staff were truly world-class, ultra-helpful and kind staff. Little touches like the chocolates on the bed each night and the hammocks on the roof garden where my husband and I got to sample the local fortified wine each night go a long way to building good memories..

Tip from tour guide
The charming Hotel Neri places you closer to Barcelona Cathedral, dedicated to Saint Eulália, one of the patronesses of Barcelona. Its construction began in the 13th century and lasted more than 200 years. The fate of this saint is shrouded in many legends and the only certain thing is that she was a young Christian girl, born in 292 in Mérida. She died at the age of 12, and it's related to the cruel rule of Emperor Diocletian, who persecuted Christians. The circumstances under which she was caught, imprisoned, and then publicly tortured are unclear. At the adjacent courtyard, you may encounter a flock of thirteen snow-white geese. They symbolize the martyrdom of Saint Eulalia because according to one of the legends, the girl was reincarnated as a goose after her death.
