There's an ever-growing stable of swish boutique hotels and many well-located budget hostales in the centre, often in fine historic buildings. However, finding a good mid-range hotel in a city of year-round high occupancy means planning and booking ahead. Barcelona's hotels offer heavy discounting in the off-peak season.
