Mediterranean spirit, modernist icons and Catalan joie de vivre
Hotels in Barcelone
A vibrant Catalan capital, Barcelona pairs Gaudí's modernist masterpieces with Mediterranean beaches and easy-going tapas culture.
Barcelona pulls off the rare feat of being a great cultural city, a beach resort and an open-air architectural playground all at once. In a single day you can admire the Sagrada Família in the morning, have tapas for lunch in the Born, nap on Barceloneta beach, then finish with a chef's rice dish by the sea.
The city follows Ildefons Cerdà's visionary grid: the Eixample, its chamfered blocks and modernist buildings by Gaudí, Domènech i Montaner or Puig i Cadafalch. Resapass negotiates rates at the finest addresses on Passeig de Gràcia, boutique hotels in the Gòtic and design properties overlooking the Mediterranean.
