Where to Stay in Terrassa

Terrassa is a compact Catalan city, and it suits several kinds of trip. Stay in the city centre, and you can walk to Romanesque churches, modernist buildings and the Rambla. Prefer green space and quiet? Then choose the area around Vallparadís park and the Masia Freixa. Need easy parking and quick roads? A hotel on the edge of town does the job. Barcelona sits only about 25 minutes away, so many visitors use Terrassa as a calmer base. Hotel choice is smaller here than in a big city, so it pays to plan ahead. Below, we cover the best places to stay in each part of town. One tip first. Rooms fill fast during race weekends at the nearby Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, big Barcelona events and summer weekends. So, book well in advance if you plan to visit at peak times.

City centre and the Rambla

The centre is the best base for sightseers. Casa Alegre de Sagrera, the Torre del Palau and the Rambla all sit close together. Cafés, bars and train stations are also nearby, so you can leave the car behind. These three stays are small, stylish and full of character.

Hotel Petit Luxe is a boutique four-star on Carrer del Teatre, in the heart of the centre. Its nine individually styled rooms feel intimate and elegant.

They love the location, the friendly service and the spotless, luxurious rooms. Breakfast costs extra, though. Get directions.

Hotel 1900 B&B fills a modernist house on Carrer del Pantà. It is a small, homely B&B with a garden patio and antique touches. Many bars, restaurants and markets sit nearby. Google reviewers score it 4.4 from around 110 reviews. They praise the spotless rooms, the warm atmosphere and the personal feel. However, it is a one-star hotel, so expect charm rather than luxury. Get directions.

Boada Riera – The Rooms by Reini turns a historic modernist bookshop into six stylish apartments. You walk through the protected shop to reach your room. It opened recently, so only a handful of guests have rated it on Google. They give it 4.4. Reviewers like the design, the central spot and the welcome wine and water. However, check-in is self-service, and parking nearby can be tricky. Get directions.

Vallparadís park and the edge of town

Move a little outside the centre, and Terrassa feels greener and calmer. Vallparadís park, the Masia Freixa and the old Carthusian castle sit close by. Parking is easier here, and the roads out of town are quick. Consequently, this area suits drivers, families and anyone visiting for an event.

Eurostars Don Cándido is Terrassa’s best-known four-star, set on a hill near the Masia Freixa. Its circular design fills the atrium with light, and the spa has a sauna, steam room and hot tub.
