H10 Itaca: Lounge
Hotel Itaca, which is part of the H10 chain, has a cozy feel to it, made even warmer with wood touches and calming soft gray and red motifs. Its jacuzzi, sauna, fitness room and ample terrace help make it an easy place to wind down after a long day of sight-seeing.

About a half-kilometer from the main Sants train station, the four-star hotel has 95 rooms; free Wi-fi; a lobby bar; a restaurant; a coffee and snack corner; TV with satellite coverage and international channels, and laundry service.

Prices fluctuate not only by season, but by which business conferences and popular festivals are on the calendar. Single and double rooms can run anywhere from 70€ to 300€. It's worth calling ahead to see what's available or if there are special offers. (Perhaps surprisingly, many Barcelona hotels that typically cater to business travelers, particularly those away from the downtown area, may offer discounted rates during what most consider the high-summer season because their usual visitors are hunkered down on beaches outside the city.)
