Hotels in Barcelona

Overlooking the Mediterranean, Barcelona is one of Spain’s most cosmopolitan cities. Here, world-class art galleries and museums stand alongside iconic outdoor architecture, while hole-in-the-wall bars serve delicious tapas. All this, while just a few steps away, surfers and paddleboarders scope out the waves at Barceloneta beach. Anyone searching for Barcelona hotels need look no further than Leonardo Hotels in Barcelona, which are stylish and located close to the city’s major sights.

Get your bearings

Examples of Antoni Gaudí’s wonderfully iconic architecture can be spotted all around Barcelona, but it’s the Sagrada Família church that’s an absolute must-see. A thirty-minute walk across the city takes you to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Park Guell, a whimsical wonderland of a park that’s also the site of the Gaudí House Museum.

Don’t miss

There’s no shortage of good food and drink in Barcelona, but for the best tapas in town head to La Boqueria food market. Restaurants inside this historic covered food hall serve everything from Spanish omelettes and fried whitebait to the best bocadillos (baguette sandwiches) in the city, all best washed down with a glass of chilled sangria. Even if you’re not hungry, La Boqueria is a great place to stroll around and soak up the atmosphere.

While you’re there

The best way to live like a local is to spend an afternoon walking along the tree-lined, pedestrianised boulevard La Rambla. Mingle with musicians, flamenco dancers and street performers, or indulge in some retail therapy at the boutiques and department stores on Passeig de Gràcia.
