A city trip to Barcelona wouldn’t be complete without delving into the charming district of Eixample, a vibrant neighborhood known for its modernist architecture, high-end shopping, and bustling café culture. When it comes to accommodation, Eixample’s selection of hotels leaves visitors spoilt for choice, providing a perfect base to explore Barcelona’s many treasures.
Why choose a hotel in Eixample?
Eixample is the modern heart of Barcelona, home to iconic architectural masterpieces such as Gaudi’s Casa Batlló, La Pedrera – Casa Milà, and the Sagrada Familia. Eixample is a showcase of Barcelona’s unique modernist style, with its wide avenues and distinctive grid pattern layout offering an impressive contrast to the winding streets of the city’s old town.
Not only a feast for the eyes, Eixample is also a culinary haven, filled with a variety of restaurants, tapas bars, and cafes. It hosts the city’s upscale shopping boulevard, Passeig de Gracia, and has a vibrant nightlife scene with a range of bars and clubs.
Getting around Barcelona and to the Airport from Eixample
Eixample is perfectly connected with the rest of Barcelona, making it easy for tourists to explore beyond the neighborhood. It is served by numerous metro and bus lines, and most major attractions are within a short walking or cycling distance. Barcelona’s airport is only a 20-minute taxi ride away, while Aerobús, the city’s airport shuttle, departs from Plaça de Catalunya, located at the edge of Eixample.
If you come by car, there are several car parks nearby. Look in advance for a car park that suits the height of your car and reserve your parking space in advance. The Parkimeter website gives you a good overview of available parking spaces and makes it easy to reserve your parking space.
