Guide: Boutique Beds by the Market

El Born is the old-town base with a little more swagger and a little less claustrophobia than the deepest Gothic lanes. The Barcelona EDITION sets the polished tone, K+K Hotel Picasso and Park Hotel keep you close to Ciutadella and the station, and chic&basic Born gives the stay some design bite. Hostal Orleans is the reminder that location can still do most of the work.
