Hotel Praktik Èssens
Hotel Praktik Èssens provides a unique experience centered around olfactory memory and sense of smell. Upon arrival, the lobby greets you with perfumery, which you can purchase scents specific to Barcelona. You'll find these fragrances throughout the hotel in rooms and common areas, such as the outdoor terrace and lounge, which offer 24/7 coffee and tea service. Here, you can also enjoy afternoon snacks and a daily happy hour.
You'll choose from five room types, but we suggest the premium rooms, as they have a bit more space and private terraces with sun loungers and outdoor baths. But even if you opt for a standard room, you'll still enjoy the beauty of the hotel's 19th-century history with wooden floors, white-brick walls, and small balconies.
What makes this boutique hotel especially unique is its location in the picturesque alley housing El Nacional (one of the best fine-dining restaurants in the city) right off Passeig de Gràcia, which puts you just down the street from Casa Batlló and a few minutes from Casa Milà. Other sites within walking distance include Plaça de Catalunya, La Rambla, and the Arc de Triomf, among others. Learn more
Sonder Casa Luz
Though just a standard option, Sonder Casa Luz is one of the best rooftop hotels in Barcelona, and you'll find a beautiful view and breakfast buffet on the rooftop terrace. The staff puts a lot of care into presenting the buffet, greeting you upon arrival, and delivering fresh juice and coffee right to your table. You can also enjoy lunch and dinner from the rooftop restaurant, which features live music on the weekends.
As a boutique hotel, the rooms have a trendy and relaxed feel, with warm wooden tones and a minimalist vibe. Despite being a smaller property, the rooms feel rather spacious and come with balconies and views of the street or inner courtyard. Some units even have a private terrace for a bit more space and room to relax. As one of the best family-friendly hotels in Barcelona, anyone can enjoy staying here, as some rooms have multiple beds or bunk beds that kids will love.
As for location, Casa Luz is just a few minutes from La Rambla and Plaça de Catalunya. You can easily walk to sites like Mercat de la Boqueria, Passeig de Gràcia, and the Gothic Quarter. And for the metro, the hotel is just across the street from the Universitat station, so it's easy to zip around the city and see sites like Barceloneta and Sagrada Família. Learn more
