The Top 7 Boutique Hotels in Barcelona for 2019
The concept of “boutique hotels” was born in 1984, and recently they have become very popular. But first, let’s clear up.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
What is a boutique hotel?
It is usually a small hotel, with little accommodation capacity and personalized service that creates a unique experience for the traveler.
The Boutique Hotel architecture is original and eclectic and seeks to differentiate itself from the large hotel chains. The boutique hotels are usually located in buildings with great patrimonial or architectural value, being equipped with all the comforts and luxury services, as well as with a modern and technological infrastructure. They are very welcoming, and they always prioritize privacy, services, attention, and luxury over anything else.
In Barcelona, there are several hotels created and/or adapted to this concept. The unique architecture of Barcelona and its historic buildings are the perfect places to host this kind of businesses. In all the different districts of Barcelona, you can find boutique hotels that will make your visit to the Mediterranean city an unforgettable adventure.
