This is a beautiful hotel! We just went for the Sunday #Retox party and it was such great fun! There's a €29 option with brunch (basically many small bites of food) starting at 2pm, and also free guest list from 4pm. The view is beautiful and the music is quite good! At 6pm, there's an after party at Eclipse, the rooftop bar. You can catch the Sunset there and continue to drink. The view of the beach, the sea and Barcelona city is definitely worth it! read more

The W Barcelona is a flagship for W and Starwood in many ways, and for good reason. For starters, its a stunner, and can be seen from all around Barcelona. Furthermore, service is very good and helpful (especially the Whatever, Whenever Concierge). Finally, it's a scene -- much like Barcelona -- in that its fashion forward, colorful, and the right amount of 'in'. I came in from New York and a friend came in from Hong Kong, and we spent a few nights around New Years there. We had a wonderful beach view with a gorgeous sunrise over the ocean each morning. The view of the city was vast -- and while it doesn't give you the direct intimacy of a hotel in the heart of Barcelona, it is just far enough removed that you can enjoy a full day of sightseeing, and return to a more relaxing location. We enjoyed that. Add perks such as the martini bar set up on arrival, chaise lounge by the floor to ceiling glass windows, bliss spa, the rooftop Eclipse club, and Philips mood lighting, waterfall shower, beachside pool and lounges, and you have one sexy hotel. New Years Eve was a hoot -- so much fun. But however fun it was, it dissipated muy rapido -- the clock struck 12, everyone was happy, but by 12:30 people were gone. We then went up to Eclipse Bar, which was a blast. The W Barcelona is sexy. Enjoy a nightlife experience or a few nights... we sure did! read more

This is my favorite hotel in the world. Which considering I spend 150+ nights in hotels every year that is quite the feat. This hotel sets the bar for what a beach hotel should be. Amazing room with a view of the sea, and direct beach access. The rooms were spotless, stylish and I love W hotels and their Bliss products. Five restaurants on site means you can go directly from the beach to a burger or tapas. Yes, if you want to tour the parts of Old Town Barcelona, you will need to take a short cab ride. Who needs the sights when you can have that glorious beach though? read more

Good bar. Drinks a little small. Great venue though. A little remote. We ate at the bar. The food was excellent. Had the tuna which was excellent. The croquettes were delicious. read more

Amazing view, amazing drinks, amazing vibe! This was one of my favorite places in Barcelona! Came here at sunset to have drinks before dinner with my boyfriend, and what a sexy place! We had the passion fruit and watermelon martini's, and the watermelon martini was one of the best I've ever had! This place is amazing, and the servers are very attentive, without being pushy. Next time I'm in Barcelona I'm staying here! read more

Great hotel! It's conveniently located on the beach and close by restaurants. We stayed here for three nights and let me tell you the beds are so comfortable. Customer service was great and ambiance was trendy. Hotel room is a decent size and lighting in the room is perfect. Definitely worth staying here. read more

W Barcelona - Hotel room view - Hotels Near Me - Barcelona, B

The W Hotel Barcelona has great views of the city and the sea. The room size is larger than a typical European size room. The hotel is a bit remote and requires that you either walk for1 15-20 minutes to the closest restaurants or take a 5 minute taxi ride. The hotel is very pricey!! This includes the W Lounge. The bars were cool and the music was awesome. The wifi connection was a bit sketchy for the pricing. I think these types of hotels should offer FREE wifi. All of the front desk staff members were pleasant and very accommodating. I would recommend this hotel for a short stay. read more

Beautiful hotel on the beach, a bit out on a peninsula so it's a cab ride from most attractions. Room have spectacular views, an entire wall of windows. My room was on the 18th floor facing the beach. Hotel staff were all super friendly, breakfast was good with lots of options, bars served good drinks and had decent wine. The Eclipse nightclub on the top floor is super popular and they had a roped off area to the elevator every night. The sunday "brunch" in the ground floor bar was called "re-tox" and started in the afternoon and went into the evening and was super lively. Linens and everything in the room were usual high W quality. If there was any downside, I'm a SPG platinum and stay over 75 nights a year in starwood hotels, mostly W hotels but there wasn't any platinum upgrade here, beyond a high-ish floor room. Would love to have seen one of the big rooms. read more

Great views and some really nice amenities but short sightedness keeps them from getting the fifth star. Took my wife for a weekend of fun in Barcelona and was happy to drop the $500 a night for the W, the location and the experience. Really bummed there was not free wifi - come on W! I'm not sure; are they competing with the Ritz and the Mandarin or Easyjet and RyanAir? The other similarly disappointing experience was at the gym. Awesome hotel gym could have been a big highlight - I used each morning. The buzzkill? They wanted 20 euro to use the steam room. Really made me feel like they were sneaking money where they could. The hotel restaurant is great and service was amazing. The club bar on the top is very stylish and hip. Get rid of the nickel dime mentality and it's five star. read more

Just another young and hip hotel. Especially hotel with awesome view. This hotel is walking distance to some of the restaurant and very closed walk to the beach. If you a hotel lover like me and 'spg' member, this hotel is very well worth it to tey. I been to so many W hotel, this one is definitely different look. I love the hallway. Red. The interior of the room also very nice, again like any other W hotel, very clean and modern look. Just love w hotel, they maintain their theme but never look identically the same. read more

W Barcelona - The view from our room with breath taking beach view - Hotels Near Me - Barcelona, B

Insane location. In terms of the experience, it's the 2nd best W hotel I've ever stayed in. In terms of the property, the best W hotel I've ever been in. The hotel itself is a landmark of the city since it has such beautiful architecture as it hugs the coast of Barcelona. We stayed in the Corner Suite, which has panoramic views of the beach and the ocean. Half the experience is the view. I find myself just looking out into the sunrise every morning enjoying every moment of the view. You know a property is good when there are moments where you don't even want to leave the hotel lol. Another forte of the hotel are their lounges. The sun decks by the pool offers gorgeous ambiance for people watching and drinks. Just having a drink here, you'll feel like you're in a movie set. The only downside is probably the service. This might be due to its culture, but the service feels more impersonal. Nothing is lacking, but nothing is over the top. Ex. At W Taipei or at any hotel I stay in Asia, you'll feel like every staff is more attentive and caring to your experience. Other than that, a fantastic hotel that lives up to its name. Come to W Barcelona. You'll have an amazing time. read more

I really wanted to love it here. I've been to many W hotels but this one was unfortunately a miss. To begin, we were checked into an already occupied hotel room and ended up walking into another couples room! After we all went back to explain the situation, they laughed and said it was because the last names were similar (despite checking our passport numerous times). Then after finally checking into the right room, I was changing into a bikini when a man walked in, without knocking, to make sure our bags arrived okay. He was embarrassed when he realized he forgot to knock and I understand the lapse in memory. But overall, it was just poor service. We waited over 30 minutes for menus in their empty restaurant, the pool menus are all sticky and dirty, it was impossible to order a drink in a timely fashion anywhere. But pros: lovely Catamaran sail, lovely outdoor pool and terraces. If the service was better, this place could be a 5 star hotel! Hard to justify the amount we paid for our hotel rooms but thankfully Barcelona was a beauty and definitely worth it! read more

Went to the pool party and queued for 35 minutes for a drink. Got to be next in the queue and the bar tender informed us that we were queuing from the wrong side after serving everyone in front of us. Complete joke of a system. Avoid it or drink as much as possible beforehand. read more

I adore this hotel! My partner and I stayed at The W for four nights after a long 1.5 week in Israel. It's perfection, this hotel is perfection!! The staff were all very friendly, we got upgrade to an awesome suite with a amazing view of the water and Barcelona!!! I didn't want to leave the room because it was so outstanding! Yes it's a little pricey but well worth it. I highly recommend this hotel in Barcelona and will definitely stay there again. read more

Worst experience, unless you like being treated like garbage for no reason. We are platinum rewards members, still told we were not welcome in the roof bar one night. Went back for some reason, and they let us go up, but no one came to take our drink order for 40 minutes so we left. It smelled like overflowed bathrooms and had a lame DJ and people taking selfies that looked like snobby prostitutes. Asked the hotel manager why we weren't served and was told we didn't have wrist bands because we weren't hotel guests and they give preferential treatment to people with wristbands. No apology. Vibe was way better at the Arts hotel so went there. read more

The W Hotel definitely deserves 5 stars. Me along with a couple ladies recently stayed at the W Hotel in Barcelona. It was amazing! From the moment you stepped into the hotel the energy was so upbeat! The staff took great care of us during our stay. The bar tenders were on point, especially Thomas! It was also nice having a club in the hotel, so you really didn't have to travel far. We definitely will be back to visit! Thank you for making our trip so great! read more

I love Martina. The hotel however is ass. Martina is amazing. Please let Martina run the entire SPG chain. She is awesome. The hotel is not. read more

Perfect location. Very hip and trendy. The place to stay in Barcelona. Better then any other W. The staff has zero attitude....unlike the South Beach W in Miami where I had to check the staff and get a server terminated. t's a W....so even a large suite can be somewhat impractical, but we have two dogs...slightly lacking storage and usable space in the bathroom bad closet. But it is cool. Of course, because it is in high demand it can be very expensive, but worth it. Two full sets of Bliss products. Very accommodating staff. I return to the W for th. Heavenly Beds and Sheetset. read more

W Barcelona - Hotels Near Me - Barcelona, B

One of the best W hotels. Beautiful pool overlooking the sea. So picturesque. The daily maid service was the best I have ever had. Everything was refilled and cleaned up and above then expected. Room service was on time, friendly and correct. Food was delicious. Checking In was a breeze. The front desk were friendly and was most accommodating. read more

Great place to stay, very nice city and sea view. This hotel is quite expensive. 26th floor = good night bar. Breakfast restaurant less convenient as expected. read more

W Barcelona - Autumn, afternoon - Hotels Near Me - Barcelona, B

So the story goes like this. They have a lounge that I wanted to see.. So I tried going there and woman that has a separate entrance in to this lounge stopped me saying i wasn't dressed proper. So I asked her what is proper dress code,she stated that shorts are ok as longest there's no flip flops. So I come next night wearing shoes and nice dressy shorts and she stopped me again from going up stating that shorted are not good. And she did this while I was with my girlfriend both times. Simply embarrassed me.. And I was visiting from the US and I had nothing negative to say about Barcelona but this unfortunate incident.. It's simply sad! read more

Worst w hotel I've ever stayed at. Two stars for the magnificent view of the room. Anything else sucks. The service would Zero stars. I booked the hotel for 7 nights. On the first night I got here, I was told the rooms were over booked. So they send me to another "five star" hotel and paid for it. How did you let that even happen? Overbooking?! I usually stay with fourseason , it's my favorite hotel. Since they don't have one here and I'm traveling alone so I decided to stay with w hotel. The area is really touristy as well. So if you want to get a local taste of Spanish. Do not stay here.! Another complain I have is their room service is probably the worst I've been in my entire life staying at hotels. They never replace anything that I took from the minibar and water and things from bathroom. And they would never knock before they come in. There was one time, I just got out of shower and the housekeeper just came in and stood there for awhile. She didn't even leave. She just stood there and kept asking me questions while I was being naked. I feel completely uncomfortable talking to her without anything on. I told her to leave but she doesn't seem like to understand and kept coming back. And one last thing, their concierge is a completely waste. They got good looking rude fkreakin guy sitting there and expecting you to know everything about Barcelona already. Then why do we need concierge for if we already know everything? They are not helpful at all. And I felt like I cannot talk to them more than one sentence. They cut me short and was like ok , this one. Go to this one. Damn I should've remember that guys name. Writing about it here made me pissed off. Next time I come back to Barcelona, I'll either stay with airbnb or hotel art.! Not this all American shitty service w hotel ever again. Btw I love w hotel, love their bliss, I have nothing against them. Just to this hotel in Barcelona. They really need to change the team. My favorite w hotel would be the one in Seminyak in Bali, Indonesia. read more

My GF also posted a review on this beautiful "Sail" shaped hotel, which is situated on the waterfront's edge, on the beach in Barcelona, Spain. The W, is a trendy younger guests' brand among Starwood's collection, now all part of Marriott. Our room is magnificent, overlooking the ocean in all of its vastness and glory. The large floor to ceiling window panels offers these spectacular views, as we're able to view planes, in the distant, flying in. This massive hotel is seemingly, perched on an area elevated by concrete and rock re-formations that juts out to the connecting seawater. There seems to be continuous construction and an industrial pier to the right of our view. Bicycle, scooters, personal powered vehicles, skaters, boarders all enjoy the huge sloping area, also to the right of the hotel. This hotel is not in the heart of Barcelona, but can be accessed within a 30 minute walk. Maybe longer for others, since I'm a former New Yorker and my walking pace is a New York Minute. The hotel boasts a beautiful multi tier outdoors area, swimming pool with ocean views. It also houses some independent venues on the lower level facing the sandy beach. It has it's Breakfast, lunch and dinner dining on the main floor, also facing the sandy shores. We had an enjoyable moment in the bar lounge area, while I ordered a Fu-Fu drink and a Cheeseburger. My five stars rating represents this hotel, overall. However, the burger was not what I come to expect in a burger. It does not compare to the United States. After all, the US of A, is the home of the creation of the Best Burgers in the World. The staff is ultra friendly, the service is impeccable. The young manager that came over to say hi, was genuine and sincere and very professional. I loved staying here and if I return to Spain, this is where I'll be once again. As noted on my GF's review, I'm allergic to goose feathers. If you are too, ask them ahead, to remove all goose down and pillows from the room. read more

The worst hotel we've stayed at. 1 out of 10 employees give you good service. The rest don't really care. It was awful & inconvenient to stay in this hotel. read more

If you are looking for the "muscle beach/ipanema/south beach" experience, this hotel is for you. If you are looking for a more rounded Barcelona experience, stay in town. W is not conveniently located, so you either haul it or cab it. They only offer van service 3 months out of the year. I hear from the locals, that its construction on the Mediterranean was a sore point for the city, and it is very ackward. It is a W family hotel and as such, loaded with perks and amenities. Its a beautiful hotel, but expensive and inconvenient. Definitely not for what I was looking for during this european trip. The shops and cafes near the hotel are definitely designed for tourists, are very expensive and really not the best quality (if you stick with the main drag) - but if you venture into the smaller roads, you will find some hidden gems such as El Vaso de Oro. Really, not what I would consider convenient. read more

Very lavish nightclub on the top of the W hotel in Barcelona. Beautiful sweeping views of the ocean, city, and cliffs. Great service, and accommodating staff. If you're going to go at night you should get bottle service though cuz it gets really crowded. read more

Cant say enough good things about this hotel! Only stayed here one night but wanted to make our last night in Barcelona special. I let the hotel know I was planning on proposing to my girlfriend while staying at their hotel and they went above and beyond! Complimentary chocolates and champagne were waiting in our room congratulating us, we had also booked dinner at the restaurant there, had a beautiful view, fantastic food and wine and the staff there even presented us with an engagement card signed from the staff congratulating us. It was already going to be a special day for us, but this hotel really helped make it extra special! This hotel will always hold a special place for us, thank you again to the hotel and staff for leaving us with such a special memory! read more

I attended a party here and it was lame. Come here for a drink at the bar. The best part of the W is that it was on the beach and my friend was able to stick her feet in the ocean. It was cold, so I didn't partake. Nevertheless, it's a beautiful spot and the staff was very courteous. It wasn't easy to get a taxi out here because the W is a bit isolated. So if it's late night, be prepared to wait. The bartenders were awesome, very patient, and spoke a little English which was helpful. read more

Nice property, right on the Med. Views can not be beat. Rooftop nightclub is just stupid amounts of fun, dancing & drinking until 5AM when I gave up and went home. No idea when my friends finally packed it in, but I didn't see them until 3PM the next day. read more

We paid a lot of money for our room. The doors slam and you can here anything and everything said in the halls as well as high heels on the floor due to the extreme echo. The hallway by our room constantly smelled like marijuana causing our room to wreak of it as well, every single night. One of our automatic blinds was broken. The shower door didn't close completely so our showers needed to be short or the floor gets soaked. Breakfast buffets are fantastic but repetitive, which is fine and I don't mind. Each restaurant has the same stuff with a couple different things; wave has smoothies, bravo has a lot more savory, hot food like rice. Very quick with friendly staff. Room service churros were the best churros I had my whole stay in Barcelona, other room service food not so much. Traffic of non hotel guests is frustrating. Dinner at wave took 3x longer than it should have, honestly ruined our night. Wait staff was extremely friendly but very inattentive. Waited probably 45 minutes for check, that was after asking for it-wouldn't recommend dining here for dinner. Hotel staff is extremely friendly and accommodating, cannot compliment them enough. But all in all, kind of disappointed with how much money we spent for what we got. Would probably stay again in cheaper room. read more

I absolutely love staying here. My very first stay was in the cool corner room on the 24th floor the year they opened and I still always enjoy going back. The location keeps getting better as more has been built up in the area, including a SUP and surf school! The welcoming staff, the view and the great hospitality never gets old! See you next time ! read more

Honestly! I couldn't say a bad thing about this hotel! It is so beautiful and great staff!

This W hotel is located on the Barcelona beach front. Went here at night for drinks and appetizers. Probably the best looking W hotel I have seen. Sexy interior design. I recommend checking out the sky bar on the top floor. Beautiful views of Barcelona. Friendly bar tenders. Got a couple of free shots and a drink as I became a taste tester for a bartender trainee from France! She made some pretty good drinks. Definitely worth checking out. read more

Love the beachfront location in an area that will eventually be very active. However, beware before you book your room. You will need to poop in front of your roommate or significant other. The toilet is in a frosted glass cube, but not like a good solid frosted glass like you'd expect. It's lightly frosted, so you see exactly what's going on in there, to the point of know if their pants are around their knees or ankles. We ended up taking turns staring out the window while the other did their business and finally used the lobby restroom to get some discreet comfort. Staff at front desk is friendly. Lobby bar staff is indifferent. Took 2 days to figure out all the light switches in the bedroom. Way overpriced hotel for off season when none of the patio restaurants or pool bar is open. read more

Best hotel in europe huge super modern rooms. Close to many great restaurants and the view of the beach is amazing. Hotel is pricey but you do get what you pay for. The front desk is super accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. Can't wait to come back and enjoy beautiful Barcelona and the W again. read more

Its a great hotel, but for this kind of money I expected more. First things first, the hotel itself, its in a beautiful location and you can see it from any part of the beach. It looks the part on the outside and in the lobby. And inside, the rooms are massive with automated window shades, so you get to wake up to the shades opening and revealing a panoramic view of the ocean/beach. They also had one of the best gyms I've stayed at so far, and it had pretty much every machine you could think of. There are a few drawbacks: 1. the toilet is literally in the living room. On the plus side, with the door open, you can look out at the ocean while you take a crap. On the minus side, there is zero privacy. Yes its frosted glass, but you can pretty much see everything. 2. the pool is nice, but its pretty shallow and when I was there, EXTREMELY cold. Actual water was warmer on the beach than at the pool. Maybe try heating it a little? And the service was non-existant...had to get my own drinks. And the second day when I came out in the morning, I had to dig in a hamper to get a towel to lie down on. 3. they do have a private beach, but the private beach has no access to water, so you are basically lounging just a tad closer to the water and thats about it. Speaking of the beach, the public beach closer to the hotel is being used by the Barcelona nudists to tan naked. So if you don't want your kids to see a 60 year old man's junk...I'd avoid the beach altogether. If you are a voyeur on the other hand, you can view that as an extra perk, although as with all nude beaches, its really not the type of crowd you'd ever want to see naked in the first place. 4. they have a club in the actual hotel. So you get to enjoy navigating through a line of the club crowd waiting to take an elevator up to party just to get to your hotel room. 5. didn't eat in any of the restaurants at the hotel since the reviews weren't kind(basically overpriced meh food), but we did have a few drinks on the terrace, and it took a good 30 minutes before anyone asked if we wanted to order something. Overall a great hotel, with a few rough edges read more

Nice roof top bar. Cool ambience. Be sure to leave your backpack home! Gatekeeper at ground floor... they screen for proper attire.

Awesome views from the 23rd floor room. We could take in all of Barcelona. Amazing. Weird set up for the toilet and shower...just frosted glass partitions, so you had better be pretty intimate with whomever you may be sharing the room with. Attentive and friendly staff. Cool vibe through out. We could hear the music from the night club in our room, three floors down, so you may not want the 25the floor right below the club. Free coffee in the morning at the bar. Free wifi in the lobby. But at $500 a night and up, there should be free wifi in the room as well. It's pretty isolated, but that was not a problem for us. read more

Service is NON-EXISTANT. My husband and I were here for our wedding anniversary. We left the entire day and returned at 3:30 for a little nap (our room still not cleaned, no towels, etc). The maid came at 3:40 and asked to clean our room. I stated we would be gone in 30 minutes and asked for her return. She never came back and said the "do not disturb sign" was on our room when it wasn't. This place is a fraud. We paid $500 per night and $5.50 for morning coffee -- all a facade for good looks and poor service. Would not return. Service is not ingrained in this hotel -- they don't care if their customers return because there will always be some schmuk that pays for their overpriced rooms, food and drinks. read more

We are huge believers in immersing yourself into the local culture when exploring a new city or country. However we could not help ourselves from coming back here multiple times during our stay!! Great vibe, great service, comfy seating options, wonderful water view, and a fun alcoholic drink with avocado in it. Great place to relax when visiting Barcelona! read more
