Watch the world pass you by from Placa del Sol. If its well-trodden pathways could talk, this historic town square would have some fascinating tales to tell.

When you've finished up at this Gràcia public square, why not check out Sagrada Familia, La Rambla, and Plaça de Catalunya? They're near Placa del Sol and also a hit with tourists.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (149 reviews)

I was looking for a small Botique type of place to stay in Barcelona. Margot House fit that perfectly. It is warm & inviting. The common area was lovely to sit in & relax. Rooms were beautifully decorated & well equipped. We chose to have breakfast each day. The presentation was lovely & the food delicious. The staff is kind & professional. They accommodated any request we had. A welcome change of pace from staying in larger hotels.
