Nope, super fail, never again...I work in the hospitality industry and there are certain observances one expects from an establishment with a 5-Star rating. Firstly, I highly recommend that you go the Airbnb or Always Easy route to get the full Barcelona experience. W Barcelona...horrible experience from start. We arrived early 2p after a long train ride...front desk informs us check-in at 3p and they're holding firm on that. Okay, fair we'll hang at the Wave Bar Terrace until we're called. 3:30p...we check on our room. Not ready...ooof my hubbie is falling asleep on lobby couch from traveling. 3:45...4p...4:15...4:24 okay your room is ready! Great, we head up to the room. Our luggage isn't to be found. I call concierge - hello, the check-in agent said our luggage would be here?! Concierge: We'll call you back. We cannot locate it. 2 min later - can you identify what your luggage looks like? Me thinking: do I have to do your job? This establishment is a disorganized mess. I describe our luggage details, ask if we need to come down personally and identify, and also mention slyly that our luggage has tags on them with our names- has anyone been savvy enough to try that angle? Luggage is finally found and brought up 15 min later. Meanwhile, our room has a broken bathroom sink (won't drain) and I see that the previous guests left a train of bread crumbs to the floor to ceiling windows that housekeeping failed to vacuum before our arrival. Heebie jeebies city as I am concerned what else might have been overlooked in the guest transition. I call to complain to concierge about experience, request a plumber, and housekeeping to address the sullied floor. Mgmt offers us 100 Euro room Credit to use at one of their restaurants for dinner tonight. I am feeling slightly better. We go to Salt (one of the W's beachfront restaurants). I order their iconic burger. First bite, I get a very hard, dime sized piece of bone/cartilage in my ground beef patty. My mind is screaming noooooooooo! I try to be cool about it and take another bite of my mile high burger. The second bite contains a lesser sized but still prominent (not able to chew) bone/cartilage. I send it back in exchange for a chicken citing my reasons for returning. Restaurant manager comes to our table, makes a sincere apology. 15 min later my hubby has finished his meal and I'm waiting for my 2nd chance. The manager brings out my chipper chicken saying that my meal this evening was on the house. Fast forward 20 min...bill comes I am still charged for my meal, just not for the first one. Ummmm, sorry is that best practice after you already told me it would be covered by restaurant? I inquire about my dinner line item as I pay and the manager explains that I should be okay, yes, because he charged me for the my replacement instead of both meals served to me. I am irritated beyond, beyond at thus juncture. I pay the bill in a defeated attitude (it was house money after all) however I am appalled and disgusted by this entire experience. Bottom line: clearly this hotel banks off of unassuming tourists. If you're going to go for luxury and pay top dollar - you assume the experience is going to be stellar. I am receiving service that aligns with a two star motel 6. Traveller beware: lodge elsewhere...even if you could use Starwood points and could stay for free- save them for another venue. Two nice things I can say are the room views and our charming, attentive, and gregarious waiter Carmen at the Wave Beach Terrace pre-check in. read more

Unfortunately, I can NOT in good conscience give more than a 1-STAR REVIEW because I got Hassled and Threatened by the TWO [2] very UNFRIENDLY AND UNPROFESSIONAL Security Guards because they REFUSED to allow me to go into the Reception Counter to complete my FOUR [4] NITE Say. Then i I felt like having a beverage in the BAR Area so they fabricated this story that it was "FILLED TO CAPACITY." Yet while I was standing there, I witnessed 6 other groups of people without Reservations were allowed to enter. Perhaps it is because of the Color of our Skin or where we are from??? I requested to speak to the General Manager of the Hotel and i was told NONE were available. A Supervisor of the Reception Desk did come outside to speak to us and she refused to go inside to confirm the BAR was 100% Filled to Capacity. I escalated these incidents to the Corporate Offices of the Marriott Corporation in the USA and received an UNaologetic letter stating the Senior Management Supported and Condones this behavior. I was truly SHOCKED & SURPRISED!!! For these reasons, I will NEVER visit another Marriott property anywhere in the WORLD. In my letters I pointed out that I HAD been a very Satisfied Marriott Customer for over SIXTY [60 years. WHAT A HORRIBLE & TERRIBLE WAY TO TREAT A LONG TERM CUSTOMER....II WONT BE BACK AND SUGGEST ANYBODY READING THIS REVIEW TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS W HOTEL IN BARCELONA, SPAIN!!! ¡¡¡SHAMEFUL AND REPREHENSIBLE BUSINESS PRACTICES!!! SIGNED, SEÑOR RICARDO PS TO WHOMIT MAY CONCERN: THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ ABOUT THIS UNIMAGINABLE NIGHTMARE AND FOR REFUSING TO STAY AT THIS W HOTEL! read more

Best hotel I have stayed in! I enjoyed the vibes of the beach the club upstairs the Cuban restaurant coya and my beautiful room! I stayed at 1717 and it was an amazing view! Shout out to all staff from Fernanda answering my questions at front desk concierge and Miguel kindly checking me in from Belgium respect! I thourohly enjoyed my stay with the beautiful red rug Colorway made it feel so elegant and movie like! I enjoyed the spa with the attendant Sarah whom checked me in and got me acquainted with the pool and steam room! I am an avid swimmer so I highly enjoyed the lavish experience with the amazing steam room! I would definitely stay here again and enjoyed the delicious meal right before 11am. Loved the fresh fruit and desayuno I ordered! The best stellar experience ever! read more

This place is a joke. The only thing it has going for it is the location -- everything else was a major letdown. Rooms are tiny with no drawer space. Check-in dragged on, though I will give credit to the front desk agent who was kind and accommodating. Sadly, that was the only decent service we experienced. Pool and beach staff were painfully slow, and half the time we felt completely forgotten about. Food and drinks were bland and unmemorable. The in-room coffee machine didn't work, I left a note for housekeeping, and it was flat-out ignored. This hotel desperately needs a revamp. I lived in Barcelona 10 years ago when the W was the place to be -- now it's outdated, tacky, and crawling with sugar daddies. The hallways smell like smoke and look worn down. The on-site salon was a scam: €220 for a blowout that left my hair frizzy, done with the door wide open in humid air. Total waste. Coya was decent, but one good restaurant doesn't save the experience. On Monday, pool deck construction meant horrendous nonstop banging -- impossible to relax. The main pool was nasty with a cloudy film on it, overrun with kids, and zero adults-only space. Not remotely the "luxury" experience the W claims to be. I spent five nights here and a significant amount of money, only to leave frustrated and disappointed. What can be done to make this right? Because at these prices, this was an absolute waste. read more

My wife and I stayed at W Barcelona at the end of March 2026 for three nights. Maanar checked us in and she was fabulous. She also asked about what kind of wine we liked and we later found a bottle in our room which was very thoughtful. Our room was decent with a nice view of the beach and the only room issues we had was water running out of the shower into the sink area and a slow sink drain. We did have an incident on our last day when an overzealous/rude security guard tried to stop us from entering the front entrance at about 0900 by sternly questioning us in Spanish which we couldn't understand. We brought up the issue with a front desk manager who told us she would talk to the security manager but we never heard from anyone. That incident kind of spoiled an otherwise nice stay. read more

The W Barcelone hotel is NOT I repeat NOT worth staying at! We booked 2 rooms for over $600 US dollars per room per night. We arrived to a huge issue as their credit card system crashed and no one could get a room card so there was no way to go in or out of your room unless you asked a staff member to take you to the room but also...there was no card to turn on the lights unless you asked them. It seems ridiculous that a guest would have to remind them there was no electricity or air conditioning working without a card. I know issues can happen but this seems to be a problem they should have been aware of and there should have been emergency processes built so they can prepare for these type of events ...I mean they are the W (Marriott). Also in relation to the card issue if you happen to leave the hotel to explore the beach which they recommended they had no staff outside to let you back in to the card access doors. We are traveling with elderly parents and we had to have them wait as we ran all the way around the hotel to open the doors so they didn't have to walk too far. Mind you the staff was apologizing which was fine but that didn't help the situation get better as there were no answers on next steps or what to do. We decided to make the best of it and went to adventure around Barcelona and when we arrived back to the room at 11 PM (we received keys at 6ishPM) & the curtains wouldn't close. We were facing the ocean where the sun rises so a call to the front desk and a very kind apologetic engineer named Dennis came up who had to replace the motor and replace the headboard remote batteries so needless to say there was NO quality checks prior to releasing the room. It was one thing after another - once all was repaired, an electrical outlet went out after the engineer left but we were too tired to complain. This was only our 1st night and it was 1AM when all was repaired. On day 2 of our stay, we learned you need to let someone know that you want to have your room cleaned as the cleaning staff only look to check once which must've been so early in the morning as they said that we had a do not disturb sign on our door. I find it hard to believe that in a hotel that is supposed to be a luxury hotel, not one member of the housekeeping staff can come to check rooms at least midday to see if guests have removed the do not disturb signs. I'm truly disappointed in Marriott and this will probably be our last time staying in one as there are so many more options to choose which offer high quality services and a reasonable price as $600 a night should have provided more. We stayed in a similar luxury hotel in the city for the first part of our Barcelona vacation and it was exquisite. The W was not even close for a much higher price. It's more a party hotel than a luxury experience. I asked for the manager each day of our 3-day stay to call me but that never happened. Instead they sent chocolates and 2 bottles of juice which we did not try. We only wanted to talk to a manager so sending treats seemed a bit rude almost to say as talking to us was not worth their time. read more

The W Barcelona was life changing for me. There is no experience that I can ever compare it to nor will I try. It's a stand alone slice of heaven--from the incredible views, the outstanding service and the food. My pictures do it only a small justice, but it was a 10 day adventure that will live in perfection in my mind forever. Muchas gracias! read more

July 2024: I would say 4.5 stars...After our cruise, we spent a couple more nights in Barcelona near the beach, and W Barcelona was the perfect choice with its high-energy vibe and unbeatable location right on the waterfront. We were thrilled to get a surprise upgrade to a massive suite with stunning ocean views and a huge balcony--it truly made our stay feel extra special. Everything about the experience was wonderful--the room was sleek, modern, and high-tech, making it both stylish and comfortable. We ordered room service from the restaurant below, and not only was the food excellent, but the pricing was also surprisingly reasonable for such a high-end hotel. The walkability was fantastic, and we loved that it was in a completely different part of Barcelona from where we stayed at Cotton House before our cruise, giving us a fresh experience of the city. The crowd here was definitely younger, a little pretentious and energetic, perfect place for us when we were in our 20s and 30s, LOL..but the clientele was somewhat diverse and included people who were proud AARP members. We are so grateful for the amazing upgrade and overall experience--W Barcelona truly exceeded our expectations! Would absolutely stay here again. read more

If you're visiting Barcelona to get a taste of the cities unique culture, don't stay here. During our trip to Barcelona we stayed a few nights in each of the major city districts and decided to try this beachfront location for a more upscale luxury experience. That said, we weren't impressed with this hotel. Yes -- the ocean views are STUNNING and the gym was impressively equipped. And though we enjoyed walking the beach boardwalk where this hotel is situated, the W feels like it's exclusively for lazy Americans who want a safe bet stay. In fact, this place makes you feel like you never even left the US! I am very happy we only stayed 1 night here. It's also a VERY far walk from all of the cultural hot spots that make Barcelona so special. I personally don't mind 35-45 minute walks but I know for some vacationers, this would be a turn off. If you want a super unique upscale city experience for HALF the price I strongly recommend checking out places like Hotel 1898 or Hotel Colon. Both offer stunning rooftop views, pools, and saunas and they're a fraction of the price of the W. Plus, you'll be walking distance to all the super cool points of interest in the city! read more

This W location is super pretentious & has the rudest staff particularly the front doorman. We came for the candlelight show Sunday evening, which was neat but once the show ended we were waiting for our ride & wanted to step inside the lobby. The doorman rudely asks us what we're there for at the entrance like he was a bouncer at a club or something. It caught us off guard & we replied "oh we just left the candlelight show, just waiting on our ride" he then had the nerve to tell us "candlelight show is over, you can wait outside" huh??? I've never seen a hotel anywhere in the world deny entry to the lobby like it's exclusive lol. One of the most ridiculous things I've come across & left us with a bad taste with this location. Other W locations I've been to in Miami & Hollywood were wonderful but this locations' staff just give the entire place weird vibes. read more

What an amazing experience I had in Barcelona and the W Hotel gave me the ultimate vacation experience!!! The restaurants, spa, ocean side views, the outside pool, the indoor warm pool, jacuzzi, and the waitstaff were phenomenal!!! That is just a piece of what made this place unbelievably grand!! ALL of the food was fresh and the variety of eats, liquors, & spoils made me want to stay another 4 days. There is NO way I will revisit Barcelona and not return. I will ask for the same room. Trust and believe. Enjoy. read more

Stay here if you're traveling to Barcelona! I booked at the W Barcelona pretty last minute because I changed my itinerary to fly into Barcelona a couple days earlier. The hotel was recommended to me but initially, I wasn't sure if it was worth the price. After staying here, I would recommend this spot to anyone and here's why. 1. Barcelonetta is a vibe. Even though it's similar to Santa Monica or Venice beach (in Los Angeles, CA), it's a chill area to be in and definitely pleasant to stay at. The hotel itself is tasteful, clean and has amenities like an infinity pool overlooking the ocean, a pool deck, lovely spa for the guests only, complimentary access at their rooftop bar Eclipse. If you do end up staying here, be sure to just show your wristband to skip the line. No need to wait :) 2. The people. This hotel is family friend but you can also find young people staying here. I noticed that everyone was friendly and attractive. 3. The location: I didn't the nightlife but hear that a lot of the bars are in the barcelonetta area. It's not too far from the sightseeing spots (maybe 15 minutes or so by cab), and there's lots of Taxis just outside of the hotel. There are restaurants downstairs and also along the beach so dining is convenient. 4. The rooms: Some of the rooms have oceanfront views, but I ended up staying in a suite on a lower floor facing the city/ front of the hotel which I also loved. The room was luxurious and the bedding was so comfortable that I googled to find out what kind of bedding they use. They actually have a website and sell their own beds, pillows and comforters! Oh and that Davines shampoo & conditioner made my day! Woohoo! read more

So I didn't actually stay at this hotel so I can't comment on the quality of the rooms themselves, but I used to work at the W Austin and have stayed at the W New Orleans and I know those are gorgeous so I'm sure this one is too. I did still come here though to eat at the restaurant (FIRE) and go to the rooftop bar (ECLIPSE), so can confirm the location of the hotel is stunning (right on the edge of Barceloneta beach near a gym/workout area). The view at night from ECLIPSE over the city is lovely and I imagine also stunning first thing in the morning since you have a view of both the whole beach and ocean as well as the city. The lobby has that trademark W scent (it's actually a thing, they have air fresheners etc. that they sell with that trademark smell - it's clean and lovely). I do recall looking at rooms to see if I could afford to stay here but just know the cheaper ones ranged from $300-400 and that was a couple years ago, so it might be more now. Nevertheless, because it's a W hotel I'm sure it's extremely nice if you actually stay here. Can confirm the food at the restaurant was expensive but good and the bar is super swanky (but also SUPER crowded - there was a line to get in and we left maybe 5 mins after arriving because it was just so packed and hard to get drinks or sit anywhere). read more

Over hyped hotel and far from luxury for the price they charge. The rooms look tired, our shower reeked of chlorine and mold and they literally give you only two towels. The food at the restaurant by the pool "fire" was mediocre at best and the lobby bar menu was disgusting! We tried the octopus which was the most disgusting flavor combo I have ever experienced. I can see the appeal of the hotel if it's super nice weather to hang by the pool and beach but outside of that the hotel wasn't our vibe. We stayed at the edition for 3 days before moving to the W and wish we had stayed there as the W was overall a disappointment. The hotel needs TLC and the service was subpar as well! read more

EXPERIENCE: Overall, the W Barcelona did not meet my expectations and I would not stay here again. On night #3, my next-door neighbor threw a disco party and woke me up at 2AM. I called the front desk and had to wait for a good 5 minutes before someone even picked up the phone. Then I waited another 40 minutes for security to come up and actually had to call the front desk again to follow up. Eventually security shut down the party next door and the front desk apologized the next morning by giving me $100 refund. However, the whole experience was RUINED. This should not be happening at a place that brands itself as a luxury getaway. Guests deserve to get a night of restful sleep, at the very least. This experience was DEEPLY DISAPPOINTING. Additionally, when I initially checked in, the front desk staff could not find my reservation. I had to pull up a PDF of my reservation number to show them. The front desk staff then proceeded to take another 10 minutes to make copies of our passports - I understand it's likely standard proceedings, but 10 minutes really? ROOM: Have nothing to complain about the rooms as they were relatively spacious, very clean, chic and modern. We had ocean view and it is stunning! We also had a beautiful (almost panoramic) view of the city and could see the tip of the Barcelona Cathedral (and maybe a little of Sagrada Familia). Loved waking up and opening the automatic curtains with a bedside button - never gets old! RESTAURANT: During my visit, the only restaurant operating was FIRE in the lobby. I was under the impression that there would be additional food options but perhaps they are under renovation. We arrived at the hotel around 8pm and wanted to grab a quick bite at FIRE. However, we were told that there were no tables available until 9:30pm, even though about 1/3 of the tables inside were visibly empty! Perhaps they just didn't have the staff? We also had breakfast at FIRE every day - my family went early (before 7:30am) so there was no wait, however the line extends halfway across the lobby if you arrive later. Must be unpleasant to have to wait for so long for breakfast. The staffing ratio was also quite inadequate as we would have to wave multiple times and wait for a while to get coffee/orange juice refilled. The food was decent however the overall dining experience was undermined by the often-crowded surroundings and slow service. LOCATION: Loved the seaside boardwalk and the landmark building. However, if you are here to tour the city, it's not the most convenient location. Regardless, this didn't bother me too much as there was many cabs available. Hotel staff was also helpful in hailing cabs for guests and telling the cab drivers destination in Spanish. read more

I have to say we got some very suspicious treatment at the W. And I am not ashamed to say, I am certain it was due to the 2 OTHER BLACK females I was travelling with. We were not ALLOWED to enter the roof top bar on TWO separate occasions that we tried going. And ODDLY, I posted about this during the time it happened, and that review seems to be gone. So, if you are a BLACK AMERICAN...I would say you would find much better service ELSE WHERE. read more

SUNDAY POOL PARTY- The event is utterly not thrilling or entertaining. The environment is rather tacky and given its proximity to the beach. The staff is underperforming and incompetent. Brace yourself, the people who attend are kinda icky so you don't wanna be there. They don't let young attractive people in, so expect every other demographic be in there lol. The bouncers were the biggest cowards ever. The FEMALES running this are the biggest woman haters ever. I felt so objectified, sexualized, and physically judged here. The female bouncers were jealous of all the pretty women who are going to this event, so they stop them and have an entire crowed of people with tickets pushed away. They would go out of their way to stop those who got in through the male bouncers even, so sexist and demeaning... Found any excuse, such as your heel not having an ankle strap. But I saw beat up sneakers and jeans make it on men... didn't add up. read more

I've stayed at this property for a couple years in a row however we got kicked because complaining about bad service. front desk people are horrible, but understandable since they work for the minimum wage .

Staying at the W in Barcelona is no different than staying at the Fontainebleau in Miami Beach... For many, this sounds great but coming from the U.S. I felt I never left home and although that may be a preference for some I tend to enjoy the cultural differences when traveling halfway around the world. The W undeniably is deserving of 5 stars for amazing views and impeccable service throughout our stay but to me it lacks the true essence of Barcelona and I felt disconnected from the city which is why I kicked its 5th star to the curb. The hotel is located right on Barceloneta... and its manmade beach, now I'm familiar with nude beaches from prior travels where women parade the sands topless with their goodies in the air but this experience was a little different. We're talking full out nudity. Booty, boobies and yahoos...all over- male and female- young and old including children. If you're a little uncomfortable with the thought, this beach life is not for you. The rooms at the W for the most part all seem to have amazing views of the ocean and the boardwalk along the beach. One of the most amazing layouts considering the bed faces the huge panoramic windows with the views. Hotel itself is upbeat, modern and trendy...typical of what most W hotels encompass. Its pretty much a party hotel catering to a sophisticated young crowd. The hotel is awesome but as a second time visitor to this beautiful city, my preference lies with staying in a hotel in the heart of the city around one of the main squares as I did our first time around. Full access to cafes, train stations and historical sites without the need of taxis. read more

For those of you European travelers, you know that finding a decent price on a great room in Europe can be hard. Sometimes nearly impossible. The W Barcelona is one of the best I have found. It has all the elements for a great hotel. Music and drinks, great breakfast buffet, spacious rooms, and did I mention the biggest shower I have yet to see in a European hotel?! Stay here and you won't even feel the need to leave. On our third day here, there was a thunder storm and not much to do but sit around. Sitting around turned out to be a blast! The entertainment is lively and a lot of fun. The lobby area is always filled with guests waiting to have a good time. It is situated in the best location in all Barcelona, Nuevo Barcelona. Several steps away from the beach with their own private beach area. Call ahead to reserve chairs as they book up pretty fast when the weather is suitable! Eclipse, the upstairs bar turned club at night is small but beautiful. On Saturday nights, the outdoor pool area turns into a lounge with hookah, drinks and live music. The rooms could be a little cleaner but after the remodel last year, rooms are much nicer than the first time I stayed. Decorated with all new decor and vibrant colors, it's hard to find better at such a great price in Europe. I highly recommend booking ahead of time as I have seen prices soar when booking last minute during high season. read more

This review is only for the lounge/bar area by the pool. We decided to check out the W hotel on our last day in Barcelona to simply unwind and relax. We enjoyed their Mango and Strawberry Mojitos (my favorite was the strawberry). We also ordered the falafel and hummus appetizer which was very good as well. The service was what really made our day delightful. Some tables have plugs to charge your cell phones which were also a plus. We had a waiter named Victor who was wonderful! Ask for him when you visit! He asked about our trip, where we were from, and offered places to go to for dinner. When we told him we were celebrating our honeymoon he offered us some delicious chocolates to celebrate! We really enjoyed our day here! read more

I'm a long time SPG guy so we had to at least spend one night here when in Barcelona. We were on the 10th floor - I don't remember the room type though. It cost us a ton of points but it was more than worth it! The awesome - - The staff - super super attentive and friendly. When we got to the room we got a call from our personal concierge letting us know to call her if we need anything. - Awesome views from your room. - More funky Spanish light switches and faucets to figure out how to use - Super chi-chi lobby. - Night club in hotel. A couple of other bars too. - WOW lighting in the room. - Awesome shower with a overhead shower head The not so awesome - Can't think of anything. Others - This hotel is a ways away from most of the sightseeing things you probably are in Barcelona for. It makes for a more expensive taxi ride or a lot longer walk. read more

Took a $20 taxi to go to the W Hotel rooftop wearing a long silk expensive dress and beautiful sandals I had just purchased in Paris 2 days prior. The women at the elevator was very rude and refused my entrance only because my shoes were flat even though I'm 5'10 and that's what I am most comfortable going out in. Felt very mistreated and will never try or recommend anyone I know to come back. Very disappointed. read more

When we heard the W had repeatedly been voted the best hospital in Barcelona it was a no brained where we would be staying for the 4 nights we had budgeted here. For starters, the W has quite the presence, easily being spotted from the air as your aircraft begins it's descent into BCN. The ultra modern architecture is another standout point for the facility. The design is undeniably a work of art. The hospitality from the staff also matches the beauty of the property. We were greeted so warmly at check-in. The staff took such an endearing interest in our 2.5 year old daughter who is in her first interaction trip with us, but also in my pregnancy. The lovely young woman at reception introduced us to Pep, Lead W Insider who took great care in helping us plan out a tentative sightseeing schedule for our stay. He gave us his card and direct number in case we needed ANYTHING while at the W. The other concierge are also very helpful. One helped us book all of our tickets and had them delivered to our room. They made restaurant reservations and gave us their personal recommendations which we appreciated. Our one bedroom suite (bedroom, separate living room, huge shower and commode) had a spectacular view of the Mediterranean and the old city, which is only a 10-15 min can ride away). The room was spacious and made our stay unbelievably comfortable. On our second day at the hotel, we returned to the room after a glorious morning at the pool. We were welcomed back by the sweetest gesture. The staff had decorated our window with a congratulations banner, and Spanish/English words summing up the arrival of the new baby, and our family vacation. There was also the most delicious platter of macaroons that I have ever eaten as well as an array of fruit juices. We were seriously blown away. The gesture was so touching that it will undoubtedly become one of those things we will ALWAYS remember about our stay at the W and this trip in general. I have called in love with this property as much as I have the staff. Perhaps it was Spanish hospitality that made the staff go above and beyond to make sure we were happy and comfortable here. Perhaps it's the training the staff receives. Either way, if you're coming to Barcelona, a stay at the W is worth its weight in gold. read more

Love this hotel! I stayed here for a couple days this summer in June and had an amazing stay! The hotel is so gigantic and has such an interesting location that you honestly wouldn't need to leave if you didn't want to. If you are looking to be downtown in the city, don't stay here but if you want some beach and relaxing as well as being close enough to the city, I'd definitely stay here. The staff was overwhelmingly friendly to us and we had a great time with all the amenities. I'd like to have a spa treatment the next time I come because Bliss Spas are awesome. Because of my SPG status we got an awesome room upgrade and had a great view of the water. There's a ton of stuff to do on the hotel property and the neighboring streets. Mike Chau, dad of food baby ny, went to Barcelona a week after me and posted a ton of places to dine on the coast right near this hotel. Would 100% come back. My dad told me that he came here once and they were at full occupancy, even though he had a reservation and because he could not stay in his room they put him up in the presidential suite. He was only there for one day but said it was absolutely incredible. Would've loved to be there for that one! read more

Not a guest here, but after long walk we wanted to go to Roof bar, but they don't allow even very small back packs and won't check them

Amazing hotel with stunning architecture and the perfect location to use as a base for your stay in Barcelona. The entire team from motor court drive and bell, to the management and concierge prior to arrival and during our visit along with the restaurant, food and beverage staff made us feel important and welcome during our stay. Every step and interaction have exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend this property and definitely plan to stay again in the future! read more

Came here on a business trip. Most rooms have a nice view of the beach if you are on the higher floors. They are a bit cheap on the toiletries, but you can request more if you run out. Location is not convenient at all if you want to explore the city. It's all the way at the end of the beach so you have to take a cab every time. They have a great breakfast option (as spg platinum, not sure if its included in regular rate). There is also a pool, but it was too cold to try it out. Overall the hotel is really nice, but the location makes it difficult to recommend for a leisure trip. read more
