Casa Camper Barcelona
Forty design rooms in a converted Raval building
About this hotel
Casa Camper occupies a converted 19th-century building just off La Rambla, in the Raval, the diverse and historic quarter squeezed between the MACBA contemporary art museum and the busy, market-day energy of Boqueria market, five minutes' walk from Plaça Cataluña. The forty rooms come in Twin to Suite configurations with garden or city views, each fitted with big beds, open wardrobes and design-forward touches that set the hotel apart from a standard boutique format. The Raval's mix of working port-quarter streets and major cultural institutions gives the location a genuinely different texture from the Eixample's more polished boulevards a few Metro stops away, suited to travelers who want markets and contemporary art over Modernista architecture.
- Boutique design
- Raval location
- Near MACBA
- Garden or city-view rooms
Our take
This suits design-conscious travelers who want the Raval's grittier, more mixed neighbourhood over the Eixample's polish, with the Boqueria market and MACBA both within easy reach. Couples and solo travelers building a city break around contemporary culture get the most from the setting. Those wanting a quiet, residential stay should look toward Sarrià instead, since the Raval stays busy and dense at most hours.
- ✓Visit the Boqueria market early morning before the tour-group crowds fill the aisles.
- ✓Book a garden-view room for extra quiet away from the Raval's busier street noise.
- ✓Walk to Plaça Cataluña for metro connections, it's a straightforward five minutes on foot.

Why guests love itThe Raval felt like a genuinely different side of Barcelona from the polished Eixample streets we'd expected, working-quarter energy right alongside the MACBA's contemporary art crowd, and the Boqueria market was an easy five-minute walk for breakfast supplies most mornings. Our garden-view room stayed quieter than expected given the busy streets outside. Forty rooms kept the whole place feeling more like a design object than a hotel chain, which suited the trip we were after.
