Barcelona is one of the most popular European cities to travel to and offers accommodation to meet all needs and budgets. In recent years, a new type of environmentally-conscious Barcelona hotel has been rising up: the green hotels.

A green hotel is basically a regular hotel that has a sustainable environmental impact policy. That means that they do everything green: recycling, reducing the carbon footprint and offering food choices that follow these requirements. After all, more and more people are becoming aware of the need to look after the planet. 

If this is the kind of hotel you’re looking for, we have prepared the following summary of the best sustainable hotels in Barcelona.

This was the first ecological hostel in Barcelona and the entire design was created with the idea of respecting the environment. It has efficient heating, lighting and water systems that save energy and home automation systems to ensure no resources are wasted. In addition, the hotel allocates a considerable part of their profits to finance reforestation. Nevertheless, the hostel has very affordable prices.

Of course, they have the efficiency systems (LED lights, occupancy sensors and water saving devices), like other green hotels in Barcelona that try to reduce wasted resources. And to add to that, the thermal insulation prevents the loss of heating and the solar panels produce energy for the building. Also, the illumination of the facade at night is regulated by a system of magnetic efficiency. Even in the hotel restaurant, Avalon by Ramon Freixa, they are committed to cook only with local products and buy only from sustainable suppliers. This is an authentic green option.
