Sorry if this has come up before. My sister and I will be doing a Rick Steves tour in November and are getting in a couple of days early to Barcelona. Any hotel recommendations? Thank you.

After lots of searching, I recently booked Hotel Nouvel for my stay later this year. Nice looking hotel, reasonably priced (at least I thought it was) and has good reviews. It's just off the upper portion of the Ramblas, near Place de Catalunya. Can't provide any additional information as I have not stayed there yet however RS recommended it in 2023. Enjoy your stay in Barcelona and your RS tour!

On our RS Spain tour we stayed here: https://www.cataloniahotels.com/en/hotel/catalonia-portal-del-angel?mb=1. It was a step up from many RS hotels-rooms adequate size, breakfast very good, nice courtyard. This was 2017.

A second thumbs up for the Catalonia portal del Angel. Great location! We took the aerobus from the airport, to Plaça Catalunya and then walked to the hotel, which is in a pedestrian zone. No cars allowed. Wonderful breakfast. Nice rooms
Our RS best of Spain tour started here also.
We came in a few days early and stayed here. We booked a more expensive room than the one RS reserves for it's members.
So when it came time to start the tour, we asked how much extra to keep the rooms we had, instead of moving to the RS rooms, and it wasn't that much more, so we did that.

We stayed in Hotel Raco del Pi. In Barri Gotic. We were just there. Nice room, nice breakfast. A few blocks off the Ramblas and near Placa de Catalunya. Front Desk folks were wonderful for recommending restaurants and giving us directions to things.
