Make yourself at home in our Holiday Inn Express® hotels in Barcelona. You'll soon slip into the laid-back rhythms of the Catalan capital, whether you’re people-watching on La Rambla or chatting over tapas and vino in the labyrinthine Gothic Quarter.
Trains and metros race you into the center from our Barcelona hotels. Saunter down Barcelona's tree-lined La Rambla boulevard, past little flower stands and street entertainers. The skeletal spires of Barcelona Cathedral rise above the nearby Gothic Quarter's web of lanes and courtyards. The Picasso Museum, showcasing 3,800 Picasso works, is free to visit from 3pm on Sundays. Nothing says Barcelona like Gaudí's unfinished masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia. The fairytale cathedral's wax-like pinnacles are most impressive when seen from the outside.
Start your day Barcelona-style with churros (doughnuts) and thick hot chocolate. Our hotels in Barcelona are close to La Boqueria on La Rambla. Pass through iron gates into a wonderland of fresh produce—the seafood and tapas stalls are great for a quick lunch. For dinner, seek out a buzzy tapas bar in the Gothic Quarter serving appetizers like garlicky calamari, tortilla and Serrano ham. Or try seafront Barceloneta for inexpensive fish restaurants in summer. Evenings in Barcelona begin leisurely with a paseo (stroll) and a glass of sparkling Cava in softly lit bodegas (wine bars). For a view over Barcelona's cityscape to the sea, head to Gaudí's fantastical Park Güell, a short ride from our Barcelona hotels. When the sun shines you can take a dip in the Mediterranean on sandy
Barceloneta beach.
Book our hotels in Barcelona to catch the city’s most spectacular events. Come in February for flamboyant carnival parades and parties. Or visit in September for midnight dragons, fireworks and concerts at Fiesta of La Mercè, where most events are free.
