Barcelona has become one of the most popular short break destinations in Europe and its easy to see why! This elegant and cosmopolitan city is capital of Catalonia, the fiercely independent Catalan speaking part of north-east Spain. The modern Barcelona is testament to a varied heritage enriched by superb architecture, great artists like Gaudi, thriving commercial and shopping opportunities, a fantastic sporting tradition and the regeneration of the port and beach areas for the 1992 Olympics. Barcelona has an unrivalled mix of sunny climate, wonderful food, buzzing nightlife and miles of golden Mediterranean beaches. These are a few reasons why travellers flock to Barcelona. Accommodation in Barcelona is varied enough to suit every traveller. From the elegant four and five star accommodation in the heart of the city to the smaller hotels around the edge of the centre better suited to the budget traveller there are Barcelona hotels to suit all tastes and pockets.

If you want to make sure that you get the best deals on Barcelona hotels and accommodation, book early. Weekends from April to October are very popular so the best hotel bargains soon get snapped up. Midweek is equally popular with business travellers especially for hotels in the commercial districts of the city so try to decide well in advance when you want to travel. For a really cheap hotel in Barcelona try one of the 2 stars outside the main central area such as the Amrey St Pau Barcelona, a modern property offering a good standard of accommodation which is not far from the famous Sagrada Familia, Gaudi's masterpiece unfinished cathedral.

Other excellent prices can be found in Barcelona hotels located in the commercial district around Sants station which is still only a short metro hop from the Ramblas and the heart of the Gothic Quarter. In this area accommodation is particularly good value for weekend breaks - for some great deals on discounted Barcelona hotels, check out the 4 star Abba Sants Barcelona, a City Hotels Direct recommended hotel, as well as the affordable 2 star Junior Barcelona and the 3 star Aston Barcelona and Expo Barcelona hotels.

Many visitors to Barcelona look for good value hotels and accommodation that are within easy reach of the main tourist zone around the Ramblas and the Gothic Quarter yet offer a relatively peaceful base from which to explore. Two of City Hotels Direct's great value recommended hotels in Barcelona fit this bill perfectly, the HCC Open Barcelona, a spotlessly clean hotel noted for its service and the Taber Barcelona, which is close to several excellent restaurants. Another accommodation of a similar standard but a little further from the Gothic Quarter is the contemporary Amrey Diagonal Barcelona hotel which also earns our ‘recommended hotel' status.

City Hotels Direct offers a range of Barcelona hotels on the Ramblas and in the surrounding Gothic Quarter which is so popular with tourists. These accommodations are often a little more pricey than equivalent hotels in other areas but there are still some excellent deals to be had. Rialto is a very pleasant Mont Blanc Barcelona , an above average 3 star which even has a pool, a rarity for a city centre hotel in Barcelona. The 3 star graded and recently opened Abba Ramblas Barcelona is just around the corner from La Rambla itself yet offers some superb discounts.
