Barcelona's port is large and very much in working use. However, this does not make it an unattractive part of the city. A range of good restaurants and bars line the streets and the area benefits both from being close to the beach as well as Las Ramblas and its surrounding attractions. For those arriving (or leaving) on a cruise, this is the obvious place to stay - especially as many of the ships arrive in the night. Our expert gurus have searched for the best hotels near Barcelona's port bringing you a selection of luxury, boutique, and great value stays.

6 of The Best Hotels near The Port in Barcelona

For contemporary style

• W Barcelona is a slice of contemporary chic lying on Barcelona's peninsula and therefore on the right end of the port to have easy access to the city's major attractions. A Burj-like building which offers sleek spacious rooms with state of the art fixtures. Better yet there's a rooftop bar for cocktails and a spa for a daily unwind.

For a boutique stay

• Hotel Duquesa de Cardona is a polished and chic townhouse with a glorious rooftop terrace offering views across the city. Interiors have a boutique feel and the location is wonderfully convenient. Find the city's attractions such as Las Ramblas within walking distance and, of course, the port (and beach) are steps away!
• Hotel Brummell is a relaxed boutique hotel filled with antiques, artworks and bespoke furniture. Ideal for creatives or those seeking a laid-back, friendly atmosphere. The addition of yoga classes, a rooftop pool, and free bicycles makes this an appealing choice.
  
  

For luxury

• The Serras is a smart five-star hotel overlooking Barcelona's marina, in the Gothic quarter. Awash with contemporary chic style, the hotel's building has the distinction of being where Picasso began his art career. A very stylish pick.
• Hotel Miramar is a grand 5-star property, channelling 1920s style and boasting a fabulous location near Las Ramblas and the port. Pick this hotel for its luxurious rooms complete with free-standing baths, its smart L'Occitane spa, and chic bars.

For good value

• Chic & Basic Ramblas is set back a few streets from the port and therefore has a quieter feel. However, inside the design is wonderfully lively having wholeheartedly embraced the Barcelona of the 60s. Fun, trendy, and very reasonably priced.
