El Gòtic is a neighbourhood that’s always buzzing. Visit the beautiful squares and dive into the nightlife.

Looking for the vibrant heart of Barcelona? Then this is the place for you. El Gòtic is the city’s oldest neighbourhood. Beneath its medieval streets lie the remains of the ancient Roman city. Centuries-old buildings and churches line the streets around the Catedral de la Santa Creu i Santa Eulàlia. It’s no coincidence that the district is also known as the Cathedral Quarter. This is also where the former Jewish quarter, El Call, is located. Plaça Reial – perhaps Barcelona’s most beautiful square – and its immediate surroundings are a favourite with night owls. There’s no shortage of lovely restaurants and cafés, and street food lovers will also find plenty to enjoy here.

      Denit Barcelona

      Nice location in El Gotic. Plenty of restaurants for dinner and breakfast nearby. Good to know: the fine beds may be a bit short for tall people.

    • Hotel

      Catalonia Port

      Here you are super central, in the El Gòtic district, about 10 minutes' walk from the beach. Not a hip, but good hotel with nice beds and a full breakfast.

    • Hotel

      Catalonia Avinyo

      Fine hotel in the narrow streets of El Gotic. In the heart of Barcelona, between all kinds of shops, restaurants and squares.

    • Hotel

      Hcc Montblanc

      Nothing fancy. You sleep here centrally and affordably. For the rest, head into town.

    • Hotel

      Citadines Ramblas Barcelona

      You stay on the Ramblas, so it doesn't get more central than this. The rooms are well insulated, so night noise won't bother you much. Busy, but close to everything.

    • Hotel

      H10 Raco del Pi Boutique Hotel

      Location, location and location; those are the three reasons to choose this hotel. Breakfast is better done outside the door. Plenty to choose from.

    • Hotel

      Catalunya

      Basic hotel with spacious rooms. The location, just below Plaça Catalunya is central. They don't serve breakfast, you do that in one of the many joints nearby.

    • Hotel

      Hesperia Barri Gòtic

      Enjoy the city's street sounds from your French balcony in El Gotic before diving into the bustling life. Here it is possible!

    • Hotel

      Rialto

      Good hotel middeinn the lively El Gotic. Some rooms have a nice, small balcony. Breakfast is extensive, although there are plenty of options nearby.

    • Hotel

      Nouvel

      It feels a bit old-fashioned and you shower in a bath, but the location of this hotel is very good. Some rooms have lovely balconies or beautiful tiled floors.

    • Hotel

      Suizo

      Fine hotel in the lively El Gotic district. Fine beds too. Light sleepers should expect some street noise at night. Here it goes on until the early hours.
