Why we love it
The setting
Ohla Barcelona sits on Via Laietana, the wide avenue that separates the Gothic Quarter from the Born district. The medieval lanes of the Gothic Quarter are about 360 metres from the hotel, and Catalonia Square is roughly 370 metres away, so the old town and the main shopping streets are both a short walk off. The building wears a striking facade of ceramic eyes, while the interior stays clean and contemporary. Urquinaona metro station is around 270 metres from the door, which makes the rest of the city easy to reach without a taxi.
What to expect
This is a five-star design hotel with 74 rooms across eight floors. Your stay is in an Essential Double room, a 25 square-metre space with a full double bed, a private bathroom and free Wi-Fi. The board is room only, so you can add breakfast at booking or eat out in the surrounding streets. The hotel has a rooftop pool, a spa and a fitness area, plus a restaurant and bar on site. Parking and airport transfers can be arranged through the hotel.
Things to do nearby
A lot sits within walking distance of the hotel. The Gothic Quarter starts about 360 metres away, with its cathedral, narrow alleys and small squares. Catalonia Square and the top of La Rambla are around 370 metres off, and El Corte Ingles department store is roughly 260 metres from the door. The Church of Santa Anna sits about 290 metres away, tucked behind the shopping streets. For a longer trip, Park Guell is around 3.4 kilometres north and reachable by metro or taxi.
Best for
Couples and design-minded travellers who want to stay between the old town and the smart shops, with a rooftop pool to come back to after a day of walking.
