Design-conscious travellers on a budget delight in this centrally located hotel, which packs more sophistication than its rates might suggest.

‘Emma’ is a fictional personality – a graphic designer born and bred in the surrounding Eixample district – who epitomises the laid-back cool and slightly futuristic tastes of this jazzy bolthole.

There’s mood lighting, candy-coloured walls and attractive white modular furniture throughout; the biggest rooms, with terraces,  are up in the penthouse.

The breakfast buffet, complete with gluten-free and vegan choices, lasts until noon, so no need to get up early.

The hotel is located three minutes from the Passeig de Gracia, site of Gaudi’s Casa Battlo and the city’s most upmarket boutiques.

Casa Batllo

Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain[0.7 miles]

The former home of the Batllo family, Gaudí’s shimmering, colour-drenched townhouse is a Modernista masterpiece.

Experience

Casa Vicens

Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain[1.2 miles]

The first private home Gaudi designed, this bright Orientalist building only opened to the public in 2017, so it’s a relatively new addition to Barcelona’s Modernista scene – as such, its brightly-tiled and painted interior is often blissfully quiet.

Best for ages: 13+ | £12
