Bottom Line
The Petit Palace Boqueria is a 41-room hotel in a historic building near Las Ramblas and steps from La Boqueria market. Rooms are individually decorated in black and white with leather furniture and colorful details. While mattresses are on the firm side, all rooms have laptops and free Wi-Fi as well as flat-screen TVs and iPod docks. A variety of rooms can accommodate different size groups including family rooms with bunk beds and one room type that can sleep up to eight people. Spacious bathrooms are contemporary with rainfall showerheads. The attractive lobby has exposed brick walls and brightly colored ergonomic furniture along with wall murals. One hotel highlight is the pretty outdoor terrace where breakfast or drinks are served on warm days. While the immediate area can attract some seedy characters, this is a great contemporary pick near the action of central Barcelona.
