The three-and-a-half-pearl Gran Hotel Rey Don Jaime is situated near the quiet coastal town of Castelldefels, about a 35-minute drive southwest of Barcelona and 10 minutes from the airport. The main feature here is the large convention center, which has 20 meeting rooms. Leisure facilities include indoor and outdoor pools and two squash courts, though there’s only one restaurant. The 220 rooms come in two distinct styles -- rustic (read: old school) and modern -- but all have amenities like air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi. The main downsides are the location (while picturesque, it’s out of the way and a car is recommended) and decor that can look dated in some rooms. Tourists looking for a hotel on the beach should consider the Bel Air Hotel instead, which is also cheaper.

The budget Ciudad de Castelldefels Hotel is a slightly aged property situated a five-minute walk from the beach in Castelldefels, a quiet town about a 35-minute drive west of Barcelona. It's also close to the airport at just a 10-minute drive. The hotel offers a handful of features, including an outdoor pool, a restaurant and lobby bar, and business facilities like six meeting rooms and free Wi-Fi. The103 guest rooms are simple and a bit dated in terms of decor, but they're equipped with flat-screen TVs, minibars, and en-suite bathrooms; suites add separate living rooms. For something a bit more modern, check out the mid-range Bel Air Hotel, though rates here are more expensive.

Bel Air Hotel is a small three-pearl hotel with a simple style and a great position right on the beach. There are many bars and restaurants nearby, and it's half an hour from Barcelona -- with the airport just 10 minutes away. The seafront restaurant is a great place to kick back, and serves meals throughout the day, including a continental breakfast. There's a small outdoor pool with loungers, though it's a shame it doesn't have a sea view. Meeting rooms, a business center, and free Wi-Fi are also available. The 44 rooms have a basic, but modern look, with air-conditioning and flat-screen TVs. Suites feature jetted tubs. Guests looking for more facilities might prefer the larger Hotel SB BCN Events, which has a two pools and a health club.
