Business hotels and Camp Nou. Safe, clean and comfortable, and you will spend your holiday on the metro.

Facts: 40 min walk to the Gothic Quarter; 25 min to the airport; 45 min to the beach; price €€€; best for business trips; lines L3, L5, L9S.

There is nothing wrong with Les Corts. That is the problem. It is a prosperous, orderly business district built around the Diagonal, full of chain hotels that exist for conference delegates and are priced for expense accounts rather than for you.

The maths is simple. You are 30 to 40 minutes from the Gothic Quarter door to door, the streets empty out after office hours, and there is no reason to be on any of them in the evening. Over four nights that is roughly four hours of your trip spent underground, in exchange for a room that is no better than an equivalent one in Eixample.

The one case where it makes sense: you are here for a match at Camp Nou, or for a conference at one of the Diagonal venues, and you want to walk to it. Otherwise book Eixample and keep the hours.

What works:
- Genuinely safe and quiet, with reliable four-star chain hotels
- Walking distance to Camp Nou and the Diagonal conference venues

What does not:
- 30-40 minutes to the Gothic Quarter, each way, every day
- Streets empty out completely after office hours
- Priced for expense accounts, not for holidays
- No reason to be here in the evening, you will always be travelling

## Other districts in Barcelona

- [Eixample](https://stayzones.com/where-to-stay-in-barcelona/eixample): Recommended. The grid. Wide pavements, the best-value four-star hotels in the city, and you can walk to almost everything worth walking to.
- [Gràcia](https://stayzones.com/where-to-stay-in-barcelona/gracia): Recommended. A separate town until 1897, and it still behaves like one. Small squares, actual residents, and prices that have not fully caught up.
- [Ciutat Vella](https://stayzones.com/where-to-stay-in-barcelona/ciutat-vella): Mixed. The old city: Gothic Quarter, El Born, El Raval and Barceloneta. Spectacular to walk through, and whether it works depends entirely on the street.
- [Sant Martí](https://stayzones.com/where-to-stay-in-barcelona/sant-marti): Mixed. Poblenou and the beaches north of the port. Quiet, modern and good value, as long as you are happy to commute into the centre.
- [Sants-Montjuïc](https://stayzones.com/where-to-stay-in-barcelona/sants-montjuic): Mixed. The station district plus the museum hill. Cheap and well connected, but most of it is a place you pass through rather than stay in.
