$, Raval
Fodor's Review:
A wallet-friendly boutique hotel and yet another Barcelona design triumph, the Hotel Market is so named for the Mercat de Sant Antoni. On a little alleyway a block from the market and walking distance from all of the Raval and Gothic Quarter sites and attractions, this ultramodern, high-tech, designer lodging opportunity is one of Barcelona's best bargains. Rooms are simply but solidly furnished with dark-wood trim and beams setting off bright white bedspreads and surfaces. The hotel restaurant offers superlative fare and excellent value. Pros: well equipped, designed, and positioned for a low-cost Barcelona visit; young and friendly staff. Con: rooms are a little cramped.
