Best Hotels on La rambla in Barcelona
WE SORTED OUT THE BEST HOTELS AT RAMBLA FOR YOU
La Rambla (or sometimes referred to as Las Ramblas or Les Rambles) is a whirlpool of people walking up and down. It’s the center of the Old Town, a boulevard flowing non-stop from the Eixample district to the Old Port. Busy the 24 hours of the day. The location is great as headquarters to explore Barcelona, as you’ll be walking distance from many great sites and there are some fun food options around.
The upper Rambla is closer to Plaça Catalunya, with lots of public transportation options (subway L1, L2, L3 and L4 nearby, airport bus…) and walking distance from Passeig de Gracia and the Gothic Quarter. The Central Rambla has only access to the L3 subway line, but you’ll be closest to the Boqueria Market and the Gothic Quarter. The lower Rambla, from Plaça Reial to the Columbus sculpture, is closer to the Port Vell marina and also has only access to the L3.
5 star hotels in Las Ramblas:
1
Le Meridien
Let’s start with a classic amongst the las Ramblas hotels. While the Meridien has been around for a long time, it has been recently renovated to adapt to modern necessities. Neither old-fashioned nor high-tech, it’s the kind of good old hotel that aims at being convenient rather than unforgettable.

Bagués

Hotel Oriente
The hotel was one of the first to incorporate electricity, was impacted by the last bomb to explode in Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War. And personalities such as Hans Christian Andersen, Maria Callas, Errol Flynn or the iconic bullfighter Manolete have stayed here.

Citadines Ramblas
Citadines is an Ascott Star Rewards brand that specializes in apart-hotels. They do have normal double/twin rooms, but what makes their offer unique are their studios for 2 peoples and their 1-bedroom apartments for up to 4 people. Both feature a separate living room area, plus the studios have a kitchenette and the apartments a fully equipped kitchen.
I also love the touch of color in their decoration, compared to the brown and neutral shades of most other hotels in las Ramblas. Too bad it doesn’t have rooftop, pool or food facilities other than the breakfast area.

Continental Barcelona
Writer Georges Orwell stayed in this hotel during the Spanish Civil War in 1936, and here he wrote part of his famous Homage to Catalonia. The hotel preserves its vintage feel, in the decoration of the rooms as well as in some of the common areas.
The rooms are single or double/twin, with or without balcony. And their bathrooms are modernly renovated. But what makes the offer of this hotel unique is their 24/7 buffet with snacks and light dishes complimentary for all guests.
