Opened in 2002, this big, terra-cotta-red hilltop hotel is less than a mile from Barcelona's soccer stadium -- Camp Nou -- making the Abba a top choice for fútbol fans. Its distance from the city center (6km/3 3/4 miles) means that it enjoys plenty of space, with landscaped gardens, tennis courts, and a large outdoor swimming pool. It's also well located if you plan to spend your time ferrying to and from golf courses outside of Barcelona. The downside is that you might find yourself taking expensive taxi rides into town. If you're eating in, check out the reasonably good on-site restaurant and bar. Bedrooms are spacious and freshly decorated with flower-print fabrics, and all have en-suite bathrooms with tub/shower combos. Twenty-nine of the rooms are for nonsmokers.
