A 1917 Classic, Renovated for the Modern Traveler

Hotel Regina opened its doors in 1917 and has been welcoming guests on the same prime Eixample corner ever since. A full renovation in 2016 brought the interiors up to contemporary standards while keeping the hotel's distinctive character intact—ornate details, a handsome facade, and the kind of atmosphere that only a century of history can produce.

With 99 rooms spread across five floors, it sits in the sweet spot between boutique and full-service: personal enough that staff remember your name, large enough to have a proper restaurant, bar, outdoor pool, and spa on-site. For remote workers passing through Barcelona, it delivers the essentials without compromise—fast free WiFi, a desk in every room, and one of the city's best addresses.

The Rooms

Rooms range from compact doubles (19 sqm) to spacious family rooms (up to 29 sqm) and suites. Every room comes with a desk, air conditioning, blackout curtains, a mini bar, electric kettle, and a Nespresso machine with four included pods—a small but appreciated touch for early-morning work sessions. Complimentary bottled water is replenished daily, and water refill stations are available on every floor.

Several room categories include a private balcony overlooking the quiet side street—compact by Barcelona standards, but ideal for a coffee with morning air. Superior rooms add extra space and a large vanity with twin basins. Soundproof rooms are available if you prefer silence over street-level energy. The hotel is smoke-free throughout.

Working from Hotel Regina

Free WiFi is available throughout the property—in your room, across common areas, and in the lobby. A guest review clocked speeds around 100 Mbps download, with occasional drops, so it handles video calls comfortably. Every room has a proper desk and chair, and business facilities including meeting rooms and a business center with fax/xerox are available for those who need them.

The 24-hour front desk means check-in at any hour, convenient for anyone arriving on late-night flights or heading to an early co-working appointment. Luggage storage is available before and after your room is ready, so you can hit a nearby café or co-working space without hauling bags. The hotel is also within easy walking distance of Barcelona's main startup and tech districts in Eixample.

Location: Steps from the Center of Everything

The hotel is located on Carrer de Bergara, a quiet side street just off Plaça de Catalunya—arguably Barcelona's most central point. The Aerobus from the airport stops directly at the plaza, making arrival and departure straightforward. Two metro stations are within 250 meters: Plaça Catalunya (L1, L3) and Universitat (L1, L2), giving you fast access to every corner of the city.

On foot, La Boqueria market is a 10-minute walk, La Rambla is 8 minutes, Casa Batlló and the Eixample modernist corridor are under 10 minutes, and the Gothic Quarter is around 15 minutes. Guests consistently rate the location 9.6 out of 10—and it's easy to see why. You're close enough to everything to walk, but just far back enough from Las Ramblas to avoid the worst of the tourist noise on weeknights.

Dining, Pool, and Spa

Breakfast is served buffet-style (American, continental, and vegetarian options) for 16 EUR—guests regularly call it a highlight of the stay. The in-house restaurant serves lunch and dinner with Spanish and Mediterranean dishes, and the bar is a comfortable spot for an evening drink without leaving the building. Room service runs 24 hours if you'd rather eat in.

An outdoor pool on the upper floors offers a rare urban retreat in this part of Barcelona. The spa and sauna round out the wellness offering—useful for long workation stays when decompressing after busy days matters. A salon, fitness room, and library are also available on-site, giving you options beyond the standard hotel formula.

Location

Getting Around Barcelona from Hotel Regina

Two metro stations within 250 meters (Plaça Catalunya on L1/L3 and Universitat on L1/L2) connect you to every major neighborhood and the main railway hub at Barcelona Sants.

Taxis and ride-shares are always available from the stand outside.

For day trips, the train to Sitges (30 min), Girona (40 min), and Tarragona (1 hr) all depart from Sants or Passeig de Gràcia, both a short metro ride away.
