The renowned Passeig de Gràcia easily has the best location in the city; starting from Plaça Catalunya and stretching to the beginning of the Gràcia district. It’s characterised by its designer shops and Modernista architectural masterpieces including two of Gaudí's most popular works, La Pedrera and Casa Batllò. Booking a hotel room near this prestigious avenue means you'll be based on the upmarket streets of L'Eixample, not to mention that you'll have most of Barcelona's sights within walking distance.
