A design hotel that’s popular with cosmopolitan, image-conscious party people. The Axel’s main clientele is the gay crowd but it’s also hetero-friendly. And not only is the hotel a great place to hang out - thanks to the rooftop pool, hot tub and chill-out area, a large spa, and Peruvian-Japanese fusion restaurant - many of Barcelona’s key sights are just a short walk away. This seductive hotel brings together style, design and a range of inviting services. Based in a 19th-century building typical to the local area, the Axel Group has created a four-star accommodation that while principally aimed at gay travellers is also completely hetero-friendly. A lot of effort has gone into creating a hotel that will provide guests with a memorable stay. Rooms are comfortable (eg, a choice of four different kinds of pillows is available) and elegant in calming neutral tones. King-size beds come as standard, as does erotic artwork. Some of the superior rooms offer views of the city or galleries with stained-glass windows, while the four suites on the upper floors have private terraces and extra technological features. An extensive spa is located on the lower ground floor, offering massages, fitness machines, a thermal circuit and personal trainers in a gorgeously designed space. At the top of the building you’ll find the Sky Bar, pool and open-air Jacuzzi; relax during the day by the water, and at night chill out with cocktails. For lunch and supper, head to the hotel’s restaurant...

When is a hostel not a hostel? When it’s a Generator. In 2018, after years serving young travellers looking for a cheap bunk and a good time, the brand formerly known as Generator Hostels trimmed off the second half of its name. At its Barcelona hostel-hotel, you can still get a bed in a shared dorm for prices as low as €20 a night, if that’s what you want. Or you can get a private hotel room with a king-size bed, en-suite bathroom, private terrace and view of the Sagrada Família, at a cost (starting from €86) significantly below what you’d pay elsewhere in the same neighbourhood. There were many good things about my stay at Generator, but I do have to start with a small warning: you don’t have to be very old to feel really old here. The hotel bit of Generator Barcelona shares a lobby and reception with the hostel bit, and the communal spaces fill up most evenings with 18-to-24-year-olds gearing up for a night on the tiles, while Daft Punk bangers leak out from the bar at the back. It’s undeniably A Vibe – but if you’re thirty-plus and in any way bothered by the unfiltered presence of the thirty-minus at play, you might want to pick somewhere else to spend the weekend. That said, once the express lift has whisked you to the uppermost floors, all is quiet. As well as being almost aggressively clean, my deluxe king room kept out any noise whatsoever from fellow guests or passing traffic. A small desk, a large bed, a compact bathroom and a few clothes hangers – as a solo...
