Why we recommend it
Casa Camper is the hotel arm of Camper, the footwear brand from Mallorca, and it brings the brand's simple, playful design to a building on Carrer d'Elisabets in El Raval. Its stated aim is to blur the line between home and hotel, with an emphasis on uncluttered, functional design and a relaxed Mediterranean feel, and it is classed as a four-star hotel.
Rooms range from twins to suites, with garden or city views, and are designed to be functional and comfortable. One of the hotel's best-known features is its 24-hour Tentempié buffet, where guests can help themselves to drinks and snacks at any time. There is also a sunny rooftop terrace with panoramic views over the city, a rooftop relaxation area, a 24-hour gym and a rainforest shower, and in-room massages and treatments can be arranged.
Dos Palillos, the hotel's restaurant, serves Asian-inspired cuisine and is Michelin-starred, and the Dos Billares Club is a cosy lounge bar for late-night cocktails. Subscribers to the hotel's mailing list receive a permanent discount on bookings, so it can be worth signing up before reserving.
The location is excellent for exploring on foot. The MACBA contemporary art museum and the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona are a few steps away, La Boqueria and La Rambla are within five minutes, and Plaça de Catalunya is close by. El Raval is a lively, multicultural neighbourhood with independent shops, bars and restaurants, and while it is busier and grittier than the Eixample, Carrer d'Elisabets is a relatively quiet street.
Casa Camper suits design-minded couples, solo travellers and anyone who values character and convenience over traditional luxury. It is upper-mid-range in price, and the free buffet and central location add to the value. Families may find the rooms practical, and the hotel can advise on configurations for children.
The nearest metro stations are Liceu on line L3 and Catalunya on lines L1 and L3, each about five minutes' walk away; Catalunya also has regional trains and airport bus connections. Granja M. Viader, for a traditional hot chocolate, is a short walk away, and the Antic Hospital de la Santa Creu, with its peaceful courtyard garden, is nearby on Carrer de l'Hospital.
