Hotels in Sant Antoni, Barcelona

Sant Antoni is a central district in Barcelona's Eixample area, bordered by the Raval and Poble-sec neighborhoods. It takes its name from the 19th-century Sant Antoni Market, a landmark iron structure built in 1882. The area is a residential hub known for its grid-like layout and proximity to cultural sites like the National Museum of Art of Catalonia. The neighborhood is defined by its weekly Sunday book and coin market—the Mercat dels Encants—held on Carrer del Comte d'Urgell. Sant Antoni offers direct metro access via the L2 line and is a 15-minute walk from Plaça de Catalunya. It provides a quieter alternative to the adjacent Gothic Quarter, with many traditional bars and tapas restaurants.
