The 255-room NH Collection Barcelona Gran Hotel Calderon is an upscale property with a central Eixample location close to restaurants, shops, bars, and Plaza Catalunya. Rooms have an attractive minimalist-chic look, and they offer flat-screen TVs, minibars, and air-conditioning. Some have furnished balconies with stunning city views, especially those on higher floors, though others only look onto backs of buildings. The rooftop pool and terrace also offer incredible views, and make up one of the hotel's standout features. It also gets good marks for its buffet breakfast, and the on-site restaurant, bar, and simple fitness center are additional pluses. As an alternative, the nearby Alma Barcelona has only slightly higher rates with sharp vintage style and adds a spa with a steam room and sauna.

Bonanova Park is a homey two-pearl property in a residential Barcelona neighborhood outside of the city center. Its 60 rooms are tidy and simply furnished, with amenities that include flat-screen TVs, minibars, and free Wi-Fi, but they're small and decor is dated. Features are limited to a breakfast that's available for a fee, but some guests remark that it's overpriced and poor quality. The hotel's biggest selling point is its low price. Tourists might be inclined to check out El Jardi, a two-pearl property in the city center with a similar style and a free breakfast with direct booking, but street noise can be an issue here.

The three-pearl Sunotel Aston is in a hip neighborhood with a lot of bars and cafes, but it's far from the sea and major tourist spots. It has a rooftop pool and hot tub, along with a little cafe that serves coffee, wine, and light meals. The property's 80 dated but tidy guest rooms are affordable, and come with AC, flat-screen TVs, desks, safes, and free Wi-Fi, but they lack amenities like kettles and mini-fridges. Breakfast is offered for an extra charge, served in a windowless, dreary room, and there's a fee for parking. Travelers looking for a more upscale stay should compare rates at the nearby U232 Hotel, which has a rooftop terrace but no pool.

Hostal Martinval is a tidy and charming budget property in the Eixample District, within easy walking distance of several tourist attractions. Its 10 rooms range from small units with shared bathrooms to an apartment with a private kitchen, bay windowed dining area, and terrace. Air-conditioning and Wi-Fi are sometimes unreliable, but nice perks include welcome drinks at check-in, free snacks, and newspapers. And the building itself, dating back to 1900, has plenty of appeal with a birdcage-style elevator, though it's rather small and slow. Another fun budget option to consider could be the Praktik Garden, which has a small rooftop lounge.

The mid-range Flor Parks Hotel offers a great location on Las Ramblas, about a one-minute walk to the Liceu metro station, a short walk to the Mercada de la Boqueria, Placa Catalunya and other sights. Renovated in 2010, it’s a basic yet tidy and quiet hotel with a chic sundeck. The adjacent restaurant and lounge will deliver breakfast to guests' rooms, and serves meals and cocktails throughout the day. Its 26 rooms are rather narrow with ho-hum decor, but they're clean and have mini-fridges and spacious marble bathrooms. Reasonable rates make the Flor Parks a solid choice for anyone seeking to stay on Las Ramblas. But the Yurbban Trafalgar Hotel in El Born offers more modern and stylish accommodations, and a rooftop pool, for only slightly higher rates.

The luxurious Hotel Arts Barcelona is a massive 483-room property with a huge range amenities like six in-house restaurants and bars, including two Michelin-starred restaurants, a 43rd floor spa, a modern gym, an outdoor pool and whirlpool, a hair salon, luxury shops, and business amenities, plus 24-hour room and concierge service. Spacious, posh rooms and penthouses feature panoramic windows and amenities like Nespresso coffeemakers, minibars, Bang & Olufsen audio equipment, plus bathrooms with separate tubs and walk-in showers. The beachfront location is beautiful, though it's about a half-hour hike to the Ciutat Vella (old town) and Las Ramblas. Extra fees for parking, breakfast, and Wi-Fi can be another drawback. For more palatial five-pearl style consider the Hotel Palace Barcelona.

The Hotel Granvia is a genuine piece of Barcelona history. Built in 1870 as an elegant manor house for the owning family of the Bank of Barcelona, the Granvia was converted into a hotel in 1935 and served as a key social hub for the city's elite for many decades.

The Eurostars BCN Design Hotel is a contemporary luxury property in a historic building on Passeig de Gracia. The 65 rooms have sleek playful decor (though it's a bit Ikea-esque) and lots of in-room amenities, including big flat-screen TVs, electric kettles, and upscale bathrooms. Some have extras such as deep soaking tubs in the middle of the room (which couples may enjoy), and balconies. The rooftop is a nice place to congregate during warmer months; it offers attractive views of the city. There is also a small fitness center, 24-hour room service, and a sun terrace. But some guests complain about street noise and lack of bathroom privacy.
