This small, contemporary hotel may be better suited for business travelers, due to its location near the city's financial district and its limited amenities. The hotel offers a full-service restaurant that serves breakfast and Mediterranean cuisine, as well as a bar with lounge space and an outdoor terrace with dining area. However, the property lacks a fitness center and pool. The hotel houses 74 rooms, which are decorated in a contemporary fashion typical of the Zenit brand: wood floors, striped wallpaper, and wood furnishings. Amenities include flat-screen TVs, pillow menus, and minibars -- some rooms have unfurnished balconies overlooking the street below. Guests traveling for business may appreciate the four meeting rooms and free Wi-Fi throughout.

Hesperia Presidente Hotel is a three-pearl property located in Barcelona's popular Eixample neighborhood, near many of Gaudi's most celebrated architectural masterpieces. The 71 rooms here are uniformly unmatched. Many room configurations sleep up to three guests, making them a good choice for families. Bathrooms are particularly noteworthy thanks to jetted walk-in rainfall showers. Facilities include eight meeting rooms (the largest of which can host banquets for up to 220 people), a well-equipped fitness center that looks out on a sunbathing deck, a breakfast buffet, a restaurant, and a bar serving tapas throughout the day. The only major drawback of this hotel is its absence of a pool. Travelers for whom this is a deal breaker should consider the nearby Hotel Catalonia Passeig de Gracia instead, though rates are higher.

The 211-room Renaissance Barcelona Hotel is an upscale property in Barcelona's posh Eixample, close to high-end shopping on Passeig de Gracia, as well as Plaza Catalunya and Las Ramblas. Rooms are contemporary and chic, and come with flat-screen TVs, minibars, and high-end coffeemakers. Some have balconies with nice city views. Unfortunately, Wi-Fi isn't free and bathrooms aren't exactly luxurious (despite nice products). The rooftop bar and terrace also offers beautiful city views in nice weather, and the two restaurants and lobby bar are open year-round. The spa and modern fitness center are other pluses, though the rooftop pool is tiny. As an alternative, the nearby NH Collection Barcelona Gran Hotel Calderon is a similar property and it doesn't charge a fee for Wi-Fi, but it lacks a spa.

This 46-room value hotel combines modern comforts with classic European touches, such as French balconies that overlook a quiet street in the Eixample district. The Hotel Constanza prides itself on providing a hip atmosphere: communal areas have low lighting and stylish decor. The earthy color palette and modern vibe extend to the guest rooms, which offer updated amenities and spacious bathrooms with sleek, minimalist fixtures. Some rooms are a bit on the dark side, though, as ones in the rear of the hotel may face a brick wall. A highlight is the seasonal rooftop terrace with city views, although it is only open during warmer months.

The 195-room Salles Hotel Pere IV is a mid-range property located in a residential part of Poblenou, far from the tourist sights, but close to metro and train stations. Its rooms feature colorful, classic decor and offer air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and free Wi-Fi. The spa is small, but it offers a little indoor pool, sauna, steam room, and special showers. There's also a fitness center, and the business center provides computers and a printer. This place is looking a little dated, and the restaurant gets mixed reviews at best, but it's a reasonable value for the area. Travelers wanting to be closer to more action could check out the Condado Hotel, a more modern boutique in the Eixample that has similar rates but fewer features.

Location is the big draw at the NH Duc de la Victoria, as this 156-room hotel sits in the city's popular Gothic Quarter, which is filled with restaurants, shops, and landmark buildings. Rooms are a bit generic, but offer contemporary furnishings, flat-screen TVs, and stocked minibars. Some have small balconies and all have soundproof windows. A breakfast buffet is served daily, which is standard for the NH brand, but the property lacks a full restaurant. Cocktails are served in the lounge, but the lively neighborhood is full of more authentic bars within walking distance. Those guests seeking a rooftop terrace and pool should check out nearby sister property NH Calderon.

Hotel Cuatro Naciones is a mid-range property in an 18th-century building in the centrally located Las Ramblas neighborhood. The hotel's 54 rooms are plain, but they come with big closets, and some have views of the city. Though the location is the hotel's biggest draw, it does come with some additional perks such as free Wi-Fi and a basic buffet breakfast. It's also historic, and in the past two centuries it's housed the likes of Einstein, Stendahl, Chopin, and Buffalo Bill. For a more stylish option, travelers may prefer the Generator Barcelona, a swanky hostel that includes private rooms.

This 235-room chain hotel is located in a quiet area just outside the city center. Decent-sized rooms are clean and modern, with contemporary decor and up-to-date amenities such as flat-screen TVs and minibars. Hotel highlights include a lovely rooftop pool with city views and a bar, a nice spa with great treatments, and a Mediterranean restaurant with a solid wine list. The Privilege Level offers wonderful perks such as free access to the spa, a free bottle of wine at the restaurant, late check-out (if available), and upgraded in-room amenities. It’s a solid pick for business and leisure travelers, but mattresses are hard and walls are thin, so light sleepers might want to stay elsewhere.

Hesperia Del Port is a value hotel near Barcelona's port that tries for a modern vibe. The minimalist decor is no-frills, especially in the rooms, where unadorned walls, plain furnishings, and neutral tones look Spartan. The bathrooms are a bit nicer, with modern fixtures and marble tiles. Affordability is the real draw, however: The property is a solid value pick, within walking distance of the popular Las Ramblas thoroughfare.
