Gay Guide Barcelona
Barcelona is the vibrant capital of Catalonia. Its recognizable culture is clearly seen in its art, language and way of life. Gay people are confident but not in a flashy way. The scene has everything you would expect from a major city. You'll locate the oldest gay bars tucked away in the narrow alleyways of the old quarter around the Ramblas. In the nineteenth-century Eixample, laid out in a grid when the city was enlarged, you'll find the so-called Gaixample; here you'll find the most contemporary designer bars for modern gays, and, impressively, the first ever straight-friendly conference hotel! It's so modern in truth that with a few exceptions, bars and clubs are not exclusively gay. Everything is start to everyone, so that while the following listings are essentially gay, in fact there are many more available things to do, and these should be researched in bigger local publications. Lately, new sex clubs arise in the area around the Poble Sec which complement successfully with the traditional cruising area of Montjüic.
Axel Hotel Barcelona & Urban Spa – Gay Adults Only
This is the premium gay hotel in Barcelona, part of the extremely popular European chain of gay Axel hotels. This “hetero-friendly” option is, of course, located in the Gaixample, just around the corner from various lgbtq+ hotspots including ATAME, Gingin Gay Bar, Punto BCN, La Chapelle, and Priscilla Cafe. However, it is also a gay destination in itself, with rooftop Sky Bar especially existence a popular party notice for gay locals and visitors alike.
Axel Hotels always pride themselves in their impeccable taste and blueprint. Axel Barcelona reflects this with elegant rooms that put comfort as their central focus. The suites are particularly attractive, with extra-large beds, iPod station, and a private furnished terrace and solarium. The hotel also knows exactly what its core demographic wants in terms of facilities: the gym is large and extremely well-equipped, and the adjacent Wellness club is the utopian way to wind down after a workout (or a particularly heavy nighttime of partying).
One of the best things about staying at an Axel Hotel is the friendly and knowledgeable staff. They are the best people to ask about all thing
