One drawback is that the property is located about a 20-minute walk to the nearest subway.

The Tryp Barcelona Apolo is an upper-middle-range hotel with a somewhat generic look. It offers 265 rooms that offer contemporary, chain-like decor, though some show signs of wear and tear. Located in the Theater District, it’s a 10-minute walk to the busy, tree-lined Las Ramblas. Convenient for business travelers, the hotel has meeting rooms and a tiny business center and is a short drive away from the Fira Barcelona convention center. It offers a breakfast buffet, restaurant, and a bar/cafe, but not much else in the way of features. Also, some guests have complained of smoke odors and noise issues. It may also be worth considering the similarly priced Park Hotel Barcelona, though it lacks an on-site restaurant.

Located on a quiet side street off Barcelona's main tourist thoroughfare La Rambla, this 1859 building was redesigned as a hotel in the early 20th century by celebrated Modernist architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner. A restoration in 2010 kept many of the historic and design features, including a stunning carved stone fireplace in the bar. The striking, contemporary decor gives the hotel a very stylish flair, from the dramatic light fixtures in the common areas to the staircase that snakes up the property. There is also a great food program on the property including a restaurant by Michelin-starred chef Martín Berasategui. A rooftop pool and bar is open in the warmer months. Some nearby hotels have lower rates, but don't offer the same history or style.
