WHY WE PICKED THIS HOTEL
It’s a genuinely practical “do-everything” city hotel, with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, Universitat metro at the door, Plaça Catalunya nearby, and easy access to Eixample, the old city, and the beach by public transport.
HOTEL DESCRIPTION
Casa Luz is a bright, central stay right on Plaça Universitat, sitting between the Old Town and Eixample. It’s one of those Barcelona locations that makes everything easy: you can walk to the main shopping streets, museums, and classic sights without thinking too hard about transport. Even with the city buzzing below, the hotel feels calm once you’re upstairs, with a simple, welcoming style that suits a short break or a longer city stay. The rooftop is a real highlight here. It’s a rooftop restaurant and terrace with views over the square, ideal for a slow breakfast, a sunny lunch, or a drink in the evening before heading out. Rooms keep things straightforward and comfortable, so the focus stays on the city around you and the easy rhythm of coming back to a place that feels light, relaxed, and right in the middle of it all.
Our take on the stay
Eliza

Casa Luz makes Barcelona feel easy. You’re right in the centre, but mornings start upstairs on the terrace, with the city spread out below you.
