Of Barcelona's many attributes one of its finest is its coastal positioning. Offering the best of both worlds for travellers who want a summer beach break and a good dose of culture in equal measure. Therefore, picking a hotel set along the coast means mornings can be spent on a gentle beach stroll while evenings are enjoyed on a roof terrace (cocktail in hand) with a view of both sea and city. Our gurus have hand-selected Barcelona's best beach hotels based on their location, design, and facilities. From ultra-contemporary to historical and luxury to great value, we have something for everyone in our collection of Barcelona's best hotels on the beach.

- W Barcelona is a slice of contemporary chic lying on Barcelona's peninsula. A Burj-like building set directly on the beach 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 luxury
- Hotel Arts Barcelona is an architectural landmark which doubles as a luxury hotel with spectacular sea views. Interiors are chic and contemporary and filled with modern amenities. Boasting a spa, five restaurants, a beach-front pool, and even a modern art collection. This one is hard to beat.
- The Serras is a fantastic five-star hotel overlooking Barcelona's marina, in the Gothic quarter. Awash with contemporary style and chicness, the hotel's building has the distinction of being where Picasso began his art career. A very stylish pick.
For the location
- 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 unbeatable. Find the city's attractions such as Las Ramblas within walking distance and, of course, you are right on the beach!
