City of tapas, architecture and football

General Information

In the area of Santa Maria del Mar there are just a few hotels. But if you go a bit farther from the church, you will find more accommodation possibilities.

In the southern part of the area of the church, which is close to Port Vell, one might find accommodations with characteristics of hotels situated at the port. In the other parts there are hotels similar to hotels in El Born (for additional information – Hotels near El Born and Hotels near Port Vell).

The neighborhood is full of apartments situated in small old buildings from the 18th century (for example, Inside Barcelona Apartments Mercat) and it is a very romantic area (for addition information – Romantic Vacation in Barcelona and Romantic Hotels in Barcelona). It is problematic to get there by car, hence this area is recommended for those who want to spend a romantic vacation in the Catalan city or want to stay close to the old city and do not care about car accessibility. Since El Born is famous for the active nightlife, those who want to enjoy it also can book a hotel near the church (for additional information Parking near El Born and Visit El Born at night).
