Barcelona is home to many world-class hotels, from luxurious five-star establishments in the heart of the city to chic boutique hotels in trendy neighborhoods like Eixample (also known as "Gaixample").
For those looking to stay close to the action, Gaixample is the epicenter of Barcelona’s gay community, packed as it is with bars, clubs, and restaurants. Here, you'll find an array of hotels that put you right in the middle of the city's LGBTQ+ nightlife. If you prefer a more laidback experience, Barcelona also offers stunning beachfront hotels that allow you to relax by the Mediterranean while still being just a short distance from the city's main attractions.
The Best Gay Hotels in Barcelona
Barcelona, gay capital of Spain, attracts hundreds of thousands of gay visitors each year, drawn by a fabulous gay scene, historical sights and 5km of beach.
Eixample
Eixample is a huge district of tree-lined streets that feature some of Barcelona's most famous modernist buildings.
The streets north of Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes (from Urgell metro station to Universitat metro station) are home to much of Barcelona's gay scene. Hotels near this area are popular as they are close to the gay nightlife and it's just a short walk to the historic city centre.

Mar Bella Beach
The most gay-popular beach in Barcelona. Mar Bella is officially a nudist beach where many guys keep their tackle undercover as those who let it all hang out. If the beach is your priority, consider this area.
From Mar Bella, it takes 3-6 metro stops (L4) to Barcelona city centre and about 20-30 minutes to the Eixample gay village. If you stay out very late, you will need to take a taxi back.
Hotels in this area are also close to the excellent El Poblenou walking street which is full of very good cafés and restaurants - generally a much better value that in the centre.

Why this hotel? Short Walk to Gay Bars. Amazing Rooms. Fabulous Spa.
One of the newest Mandarin Oriental hotels, located in the heart of Barcelona's shopping district - close to sightseeing attractions and just 10 minutes' walk from the Eixample gay quarter.

Guest rooms are strikingly modern with just subtle hints to the Mandarin's heritage. Not huge, but they offer all the luxurious comforts, and you can expect a flawless service from arrival to departure.
The hotel has great dining options. The 9th floor rooftop bar (and dipping pool) is reserved for hotel guests. Finally, we should not forget to mention the spa! Over 1,000 m² of space including a 12-metre pool, gym and 8 treatment rooms.

Why this hotel? Beachfront location. Gay-popular hotel. It's the "W"
Virtually every gay traveler who spends more than a couple of hundred euros per night on a hotel room will be intimately familiar with the W Concept.
The high-rise W Barcelona, the first W to open in Europe, designed by renowned Ricrod Bofill, offers amazing views over the Mediterranean and Barcelona shoreline.
The W has 473 guest rooms and suites with all its signature W features including the W bed, munchie box and Bliss spa products.
Location-wise, the W is next to the San Sebastià and Barceloneta beaches, although some distance from the night-time gay scene and the Mar Bella gay beach. Having said that, if you can afford the W, then you can afford the taxi.
