A new and stylish hotel overlooking the beach, this is one of several AC-branded hotels in the city. Like the others, it offers impeccable service, fair prices and keen attention to detail.

The AC Barcelona sits beside the brand new CCIB convention centre. It also has a wide range of business facilities and 13 rooms suitable for meetings of up to 530 people.

With its location in the heart of the trendy Ribera district, simple white and beige decor and laid-back attitude, the Banys Orientals would be considered a great hotel at any price. Luckily for guests here, the price is as low as they come for high-service three-star hotels. In early 2005, it also began offering larger loft-like suites, a welcome service as the double rooms are quite small.

Camper, the Mallorcan-based shoe brand, has brought its happy-go-lucky philosophy to the hotel business with the very first Casa Camper. The idea is that guests feel at home. So everyone gets a key to the front door, 24-hour access to the kitchen with free snacks and drinks, and a two-room suite (one room for sleeping, the other with flat-screen TV, hammock and table for hanging out). The decor is urban and hard-lined and everything you see here is for sale in the shop VinÁon. Camper’s health-conscious, eco-friendly attitude is seen everywhere. Signs encouraging you to take the stairs instead of the elevator are posted in the hallways and absolutely everything is recycled. There are a few simple rooms available for events.

Although it’s located just outside the city limits, the brand-new (opened in early 2006) Hesperia Tower hotel is in an ideal location for those who need easy access to the Fira convention centres or Barcelona airport.
