Hotels in Eixample

This luxury hotel right on Passeig de Gràcia plays host to its Banker'sBar every Wednesday, when it's decorated with old safes and the like, left over from the bank it used to be before it was the hotel it is now. There's also the Gin & Live cycle, where, apart from hearing some live music, you can also drink from their selection of G&Ts and other cocktails. Entrance is free; the drinks aren't. The Mandarin Oriental boasts an exclusive spa with a 12-metre pool, an oriental steam room, a relaxation zone on the roof terrace with an open-air pool and a long menu of beauty treatments not suitable for all pockets. But if you are among the lucky ones who can afford to go, be sure to take full advantage of this idyllic paradise.

When is a hostel not a hostel? When it’s a Generator. In 2018, after years serving young travellers looking for a cheap bunk and a good time, the brand formerly known as Generator Hostels trimmed off the second half of its name. At its Barcelona hostel-hotel, you can still get a bed in a shared dorm for prices as low as €20 a night, if that’s what you want. Or you can get a private hotel room with a king-size bed, en-suite bathroom, private terrace and view of the Sagrada Família, at a cost (starting from €86) significantly below what you’d pay elsewhere in the same neighbourhood. There were many good things about my stay at Generator, but I do have to start with a small warning: you don’t have to be very old to feel really old here. The hotel bit of Generator Barcelona shares a lobby and reception with the hostel bit, and the communal spaces fill up most evenings with 18-to-24-year-olds gearing up for a night on the tiles, while Daft Punk bangers leak out from the bar at the back. It’s undeniably A Vibe – but if you’re thirty-plus and in any way bothered by the unfiltered presence of the thirty-minus at play, you might want to pick somewhere else to spend the weekend. That said, once the express lift has whisked you to the uppermost floors, all is quiet. As well as being almost aggressively clean, my deluxe king room kept out any noise whatsoever from fellow guests or passing traffic. A small desk, a large bed, a compact bathroom and a few clothes hangers – as a solo travell
