My girlfriend and I are staying in the city at the end of September; we're looking to stay pretty central and she has had it recommended that a good place to eat and drink in the evenings in Las Ramblas (sp?). So we're looking for an area close-ish to there so we can walk back to our hotel and have it easily accessible during the day. Can anyone recommend any areas/hotels/apartments for our stay?

Take a look at Hotel Granvia. Our stay there was excellent; well appointed room, terrific service and great breakfast. It was easy walking distance to many sights. Highly recommend!

We're staying at Citadines Rambles later this fall. They have standard hotel rooms, studios with kitchenettes, and 1 bedroom apartments. As the name implies its on La Rambla across from the Carrefour super grocery store, near the big market, and walking distance to a lot of other sites/areas.

Hotel Nouvel. Near Placa Catalunya, a transit hub-easy to take the airport bus, then walk five minutes to the hotel. Great breakfast choices; it was not included but was very reasonably priced. The same restaurant also served an excellent meal in the early afternoon. Las Ramblas is just a couple of blocks away.
We thought the location was very central; it was easy to access public transit and a taxi stand was nearby. Plus it's right in the "old town" area so there is much to see while out walking. I would stay there again.

For overall accessibility, I like the general area around Placa Urquinaona, and just above it, in to Dreta Eixample.
H10 Hotels have 3 properties here to consider.
Madison
Cubik (my pick)
Urquinaona Plaza
