Hotel Indigo Barcelona – Plaza Catalunya

Hotel Indigo Barcelona benefits from an exceptional location, sitting on a major central shopping thoroughfare. It is walking distance to the Gaixample, Passeig de Gracia (and its famous modernist landmarks), Plaza de Cataluña, Ramblas, Boqueria Market, and much more. Sauna BRUC, one of the city’s ultra-modern chain of gay saunas, is just a 3-minute walk away.

The hotel itself takes inspiration from the modernist architecture that surrounds it, particularly the works of Antoni Gaudi – your room could feature a large mural of details from the facade of Casa Batlló, or images of the Sagrada Familia. The balcony rooms are especially lovely, featuring a private space to chill out, sit down, and enjoy your morning Nespresso.

The hotel’s best feature, however, is the stunning pool courtyard, surrounded by palm trees and featuring relaxing sun loungers. There is an excellent buffet breakfast with both fresh and hot items, and the staff is particularly helpful.
