Depending on which neighborhood you’re in, it’s not uncommon to see dogs running rampant through Barcelona’s streets or camping out with their owners on one of the many patios or terrazas. Gracia and Barceloneta are particularly popular dog neighborhoods as they’re slightly more local.
If you’re visiting Barcelona with your dog, check out some of these pet friendly hotels:
Barcelona Cathedral Hotel - Ideally situated in the most historic area of the city, next to the Cathedral and La Rambla this is a great place to stay if you have pets. Fully equipped with a terrace, swimming pool, gym as well as meeting rooms if you’re here on business, Barcelona Cathedral Hotel is perfect if you want to be in the heart of Barcelona and a quick stroll away from the rest of the Old City (Born, Raval, Barceloneta, Ribera).
Claris Hotel – Beautifully decorated with a mix of classical and contemporary art, the Claris Hotel is situated slightly outside of the Old City and on the edge of the Eixample district. This is a good choice if you don’t feel like being in the middle of the noise, yet still want to be fairly central. There are a lot of great restaurants and bars in this area. Check out Josephine as well as Bar Mut.
Colon Hotel – This is a wonderful 4 star hotel in the city center. Their rooms are elegantly designed and offer a wide range of amenities including air conditioning, heating, TV, phone, minibar etc…The hotel is pet friendly although animals aren’t allowed in common areas and can’t stay in the hotel rooms on their own.
