Primero Primera
A five-star garden hotel in the village of Sarrià
About this hotel
Primero Primera sits in gardens in the Sarrià district, a former village annexed into Barcelona only in 1921 that still reads as residential and leafy rather than urban-dense. Offering stylish rooms with free, high-speed Wi-Fi and iPod docking stations, the hotel is five minutes' walk from Les Tres Torres FGC Station. Each air-conditioned room carries contemporary décor, with tea and coffee making facilities, a flat-screen TV and a minibar throughout. A buffet breakfast is served in the Primero Primera's own dining area each morning, set within the same gardens that give the property its quieter, village-like character, a contrast to the Eixample's mansion blocks or the old city's converted commercial buildings.

Our take
This suits travelers who want a genuinely quiet, garden-based five-star stay north of the Eixample's traffic, Sarrià's former-village character is unusual this close to central Barcelona. Couples and travelers wanting outdoor space get particular value from the gardens. Those wanting central old-city walkability should budget extra travel time, since Sarrià sits further from the Barri Gòtic and Las Ramblas than an Eixample address would.
- ✓Use Les Tres Torres FGC Station for quick trips into central Barcelona, it's a five-minute walk.
- ✓Eat breakfast in the gardens if weather allows, it's a genuinely relaxed way to start the day.
- ✓Budget extra travel time into the Barri Gòtic and Las Ramblas from this quieter, further-out district.

Why guests love itSarrià felt like a completely different pace from the Eixample or old city, genuinely residential and quiet, and eating breakfast in the gardens each morning became the calmest part of the whole trip. The five-minute walk to Les Tres Torres FGC Station made getting into central Barcelona easy whenever we wanted the busier streets instead. Rooms were comfortable and contemporary, and the iPod docking station was a small, slightly retro touch we didn't expect but appreciated.
