Best Neighborhoods in Barcelona for Work Stays

Barcelona has very diverse areas: some more corporate, others more creative, others more residential. At Caterina House, we manage buildings in the city’s key neighborhoods, so we know exactly which areas fit different professional lifestyles.

 

EIXAMPLE & SANT ANTONI: THE PERFECT BALANCE FOR PROFESSIONALS

If you’re looking for a central, convenient, and well-connected neighborhood, Eixample and especially Sant Antoni is a guaranteed win. It’s ideal if you work in central offices, have meetings across different parts of the city, or rely on the metro daily.
Why this area works so well when you’re here for work:

  • Excellent metro and bus connections

  • Urban atmosphere but calmer than the Old Town

  • Plenty of restaurants, cafés, gyms, and services

  • A neighborhood feel that still feels professional

Here you’ll find Caterina Sant Antoni, a perfect building if you want a fully furnished apartment with fast internet and everything ready from day one.

CIUTAT VELLA: FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO LIVE IN THE HEART OF THE CITY

 

If the idea of living in Barcelona’s historic center, close to the port and surrounded by cafés, restaurants, and culture appeals to you, then Ciutat Vella is a great match. You’ll be steps away from offices, coworking spaces, and the energy of the city.

Advantages for professionals:

  • Walkable distance to many central workplaces

  • Great for frequent travelers who need strong transport links

  • Huge variety of food, leisure, and afterwork options

In this area we manage several buildings Caterina Port Vell, Caterina Liceu, Caterina Laietana, Caterina Santa Mónica, and Caterina Correos ideal for professionals who want the convenience of living in the center without the hassle of furnishing an apartment or setting up utilities.

 

BAC DE RODA, 22@ AND MAR BELLA: THE TECH & CREATIVE HUB

If you work in startups, tech companies, or remotely, the entire Sant Martí area is extremely appealing. It’s a modern district filled with new developments, creative companies, coworking spaces, and excellent connections.

Why this zone is so popular for work:

  • A mix of professional and creative energy

  • Modern, well-equipped buildings

  • Easy access via metro, tram, and bike

  • Close to the beach in areas like Mar Bella

Caterina House has buildings such as Caterina 22@, Caterina Bac de Roda, and Caterina Mar Bella, designed for professionals and digital nomads who need stability, strong Wi-Fi, and a comfortable place to work from home.

 

GRÀCIA: NEIGHBORHOOD CHARM WITH PLENTY OF CHARACTER

If you prefer a more bohemian, local, and relaxed atmosphere but still want to be relatively close to the center Gràcia might be your best fit. It’s perfect for creative professionals, freelancers, and anyone who wants a calmer pace.

What Gràcia offers:

  • Quiet streets, plazas, and a strong community vibe

  • Independent shops, cafés, and restaurants full of personality

  • Good metro and bus connections, but less tourist noise

In this area you’ll find Caterina Gràcia, ideal if you want a residential, authentic environment without giving up comfort and accessibility.

 

SARRIÀ: FOR PROFESSIONALS SEEKING A MORE RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENT

Finally, if your work is connected to clinics, international schools, offices in the upper part of the city, or you simply prefer a more exclusive residential feel, Sarrià is a great option.

Why many professionals choose Sarrià:

  • Quiet, safe, upscale neighborhood

  • Excellent services (schools, medical centers, shops)

  • Easy access to the Diagonal and the upper city

Here you have Caterina Sarrià, with apartments designed for medium-length stays perfect if you're coming for longer work projects and want a peaceful environment.

Barcelona has a neighborhood for every work lifestyle: more urban, more creative, or more residential. At Caterina House, we manage fully furnished apartments in all these key areas, offering flexible monthly stays and close support so you can focus on your job, not on the logistics of moving.
