Short answer

Is The Serras worth it?

The Serras deserves a place on most first itineraries.

The answer depends on your budget, time and travel style; the breakdown below shows who gets the most value.

A chic waterfront boutique five-star on Passeig de Colom with a rooftop pool overlooking the marina.

How to do it right

  1. 01

    A sleek, contemporary hotel that splits the difference between the old city and the harbour, capped by a rooftop pool-and-bar with marina views.

  2. 02

    Smart for couples who want design, location and a view; small rooms and a busy roadside frontage are the trade-offs.

Is it a fit?

The location trade-off

What you're near — and what you're not

Walkable
  • Gothic Quarter (short walk)
  • The marina & Port Vell
  • El Born (walkable)
Cut off from
  • Barceloneta beach proper (walk along the front)
  • Gaudí Eixample sights (metro or taxi)
Rooms & rate

What you're paying for

Rooms run from compact entry categories to suites, the best with harbour or rooftop access. The rate includes the design, the rooftop pool and a prime location; the catch is modest room sizes at the lower tiers and a busy waterfront avenue at the door.
