Even without a lounge and the fact that this thing is $$$$ this is still worth the visit. The view of the city was better from 816 than it was from the Guell Park and the rooms are really nice. The space is open and clean with a giant chaise by the window perfect for relaxing and taking in the view. The pool area has some nice beds to relax and sun on and there are plenty of places to get a drink (again $$$$). Location is a bit far from the rest of the city but there is still plenty to eat, do, enjoy in the walkable vicinity. About 1km to the restaurants but it is a fun walk down the boardwalk and again - totally worth it. read more

We just went to the rooftop of W Barcelona during a themed party called: "The Candy Shop", which served the dual purpose of reminiscing fondly about my mid 2000's life and a pre veneers 50 Cent (Curtis James Jackson). So seductive. Whoaaa. Nice atmosphere and indoor environment which is suitable for an evening out in January. Crowd is mixed, but not terribly vulgar. read more

This was truly the worst hotels I have experienced on my trip to Spain. I have visited some of the restaurants at the hotel and ordered room service. The restaurants' food is truly AWFUL and lacks any flavor. The room service is the most expensive I have ever seen. The food from room service is something you would get at a children's birthday party and definitely is not worth 20 euros!!! The rooms at first seem nice, but are not very functional. There is no separation from the beds and the shower/toilet except for a curtain that doesn't even fully close! Also, the room has some decorations that are not appropriate for a family with young kids. read more

Beautiful hotel! The water views are among the best in the world. Rooms and lobby are stunning. Helpful staff.

Wow this place is amazing, the room, the staff, the restaurant and their staff, the food the views. I just can't say enough about it. I wish there was a higher rating. It's my first time in Barcelona but these people are amazing. read more

I generally enjoy W hotels. This one is nice, but it's not what I've come to expect with the W brand. The lobby and bars are nice. The terrace restaurants are lovely and have a great view. The rooms have amazing views of the ocean AND anyone that's taking a dump. Seriously. The toilets in the rooms are in echo chamber frosted glass cubes. Nothing says sexy and classy like being able to see your partners shadow on the toilet and the amplified echo of every bathroom noise* Ok let's talk about the pools. They are awesome looking. Service at them is great. If you are expecting the fun of the W Hollywood or NY you are in for a surprise. The pool area is teaming with kids losing their damn minds nonstop screaming, cannonballing, and splashing. Hey parents - this isn't a Disney cruise. Chill your kids out a-holes. Hey staff - all the adults without kids sitting around the pool with the sour looks on their faces. That's them waiting for you guys to enforce some rules and make this place tranquil. I'm here to escape my neighbors' crappy sugar-cranked kids going apesh!t at the pool. So yeah, good spot. Take a crap in the lobby so it doesn't ruin any sexy image your partner has of you and maybe bring a taser to the pool to jolt some little sh!theads into chilling out. * I was the one making all the bathroom noise. read more

The worst 4? 5? star hotel ever. I didn't want to change hotel (from Le Meridien) because of the inconvenience location where W is but my friend insisted so I just went along. Upon checked in, they said the upgraded room was out of service and the only room they had was a second or third floor room with a partial med. sea view. The manager was rude with attitude when I inquired further. Not a good first impression. To add insults to injury, the sub-par room they gave us had so many issues itself! -Couch is dirty and stained. -The door knob on the toilet fell off when I was about to close the door. -Both glass doors to the toilet and shower won't close. The glass doors must be too heavy on the hinges and sagged, therefore scrapping the slate floor. Imagine the glass scrapping on stone floor, I was terrified that the glass will shatter! Complete design flaw. -After the glass doors were fixed, they won't close properly. In order for both doors to close, you have to close them together or else they won't align and collided at the door edges. -The lights above the sink only work intermittently. -After closing the shower door, when you take a shower, the water leaked out of the shower! -Due to the open atrium design and one of their lounges being on the first floor, you can image the noise/music that vibrate up to the third floor. It's particularly noisy on New Year's Eve. Luckily I brought ear plugs or it will be a Sleepless in Barcelona night! The one star is for the repair man who fixed the glass doors and the cleaning maid who helped clean up the water leak from the shower. You can totally see the repair man is expert in repairing the glass doors and brought the right tools so you know the issue isn't new and probably happened many times before. Also, only one repair man was assigned for the repair. The door is tall and heavy, imagine my terror when he took off the glass door from the hinges all by himself! As for the water leak, when I told the front desk to send someone up to clean up the water on the floor, they didn't tell the maid to just wipe the floor. The maid came in and started cleaning the "entire" bathroom area and I had to stop her and told her just mop the floor (I don't speak Spanish so it's a challenge to communicate.) I felt really bad for the service man and the maid because not only they were working during the holidays (ok it's their job but I am sure they were busy enough with a full load of guests during the New Year holiday), I think it's unnecessary to add on to their workload if the design flaws are permanently fixed. read more

Our room on the 22nd floor dod not have hot water. We had to wait 2 hours for help and the staff was not responsive. Every 10 minutes the staff said to wait another 10 minutes for another room. We missed the sunset and our dinner reservations. I would not leave a bad review unless the manager called me back. He/she never did. read more

I enjoyed my stay at the W! Super cool rooms and not as far from everything as people say. We took taxis and it was about 7-11 euros depending where we went. The pool is super cool but seats by the pool were fully taken by noon and don't let up so get down early. I will say the rooms were a bit modern and could use some more light for night but the views are amazing. The red hallways are kinda creepy but cool. the food and drinks at the hotel were amazing but the lobby/ pool menu is a bit over priced. overall great stay! read more

This place is tied for last place of all of the hotels I've stayed in worldwide. It's got that surface veneer of niceness, where it looks good on paper, the building is quite beautiful, there are great views, and the facilities appear nice, but underneath it all is dross. First, the bathrooms in the suite are made mostly of slate and smell of mildew and mold. Second, the rooms have lots of small problems and fitment issues. The LED mood lighting under the bed was falling off, for example. Certain power sockets didn't work. The mattresses are far too old and soft. In fact, we had to have the mattress removed so we could sleep directly on the underlying board. They have only one kind of mattress and no new mattresses. Kind of hard to believe for a high end hotel. 5 stars I have been at typically have other kinds of mattresses and almost always have new mattresses available. I could go on and on about the small building and room issues, but ultimately, this wasn't the deal killer. The deal killer was the piss poor service. So let's go over that. I ordered room service for breakfast about 8 times out of an 11-night stay. It was wrong every time. And I ordered the same thing about 6 of those times. I had to call to get it fixed every single time. I even went so far as to learn the Spanish terms for those items I needed (e.g. "natas" for heavy cream). So, I ordered coffee and "dos natas", but got coffee and steamed milk. Maybe it's just the language barrier, but it actually gets worse. Air conditioning stopped working in our room at one point (yet more building and maintenance issues I guess). At 11pm at night they could not fix it because the unit is in the room below and that guest had a baby with them (just like us) and could not be disturbed. So, basically, our baby had to be inconvenienced for the other guest's baby's convenience. Something I don't really understand. Their "solution" was to offer a discount, but what I needed was a real solution where we had air conditioning so I could put our baby to sleep. The night manager was so clueless that *I* had to be the one to point out they could put us in another room temporarily for the night. I was told the A/C would be fixed in the morning. Except it wasn't. We returned to our room at noon and it was 24+ degrees Celsius. In the meantime, the hotel hadn't communicated to us in any way. Via phone, text, or email. So, I had to call and start the whole argument over again. I was told at that time that the guests below us were checking out today and then maintenance could get in there. Why wasn't that guest contacted earlier in the morning? Say 9AM or 10AM? Here it is, it's noon, and *I* have to be the one to follow up with the hotel. Wasn't I just gracious and move my family to another room late at night for another guest's convenience? Why can't that guest allow the maintenance people in by 9 or 10AM in the morning to fix the A/C? Why can't the hotel proactively communicate to me timing of the A/C fix? In fact, over the course of my 11-night stay, the hotel staff consistently failed to communicate with us proactively. I had to be the one following up. There was only one staff member, Sergio Couto, who was proactive. And in fact, he was a gem, helping me ship some stuff back to the USA and generally very helpful. I don't know. Maybe shitty service is normal in Spain and Barcelona in particular, but I think it was just this hotel and the culture of the staff. They simply didn't seem to understand that the first job of a hotel is service. Don't believe these other reviews about the service being good. If the W Hotel in Barcelona can't get it together for someone staying at their hotel for almost 2-weeks then they are simply incompetent. read more

We stayed here for our 30th anniversary and all I wanted to do was sit out by the pool in the sun to read my book, but NO with three pools two were closed due to maintenance and the third was closed for a private party. When I asked management about just sitting outside and not using the pool they said, "It was too dangerous." The hotel was completed in 2009 and now less than 9 years later two of your three pool areas is "unsafe." Personally I would not even give it a one star. When we booked our $400 a night hotel room we should have been made aware that the pools would NOT be available. Worst hotel stay EVER!!!! read more

I've been nothing but disappointed with this place. Nobody at all at the pool we sat for 45 and still nobody has asked if we need a menu or anything to drink. Just terrible. read more

W Barcelona - Hotels Near Me - Barcelona, B

Hands-down, best hotel I've ever stayed in. The beach location is awesome, views are stunning, and the staff is superb (and SEXY). The fact they even had amenities was a plus to an already perfect hotel. We stayed in the "Fabulous Room" on the 20th floor with a breathtaking panoramic view of the ocean on the opposite side of the beach. Literally the best thing to wake up to in the mornings. I absolutely loved the modern decor, the incredibly comfortable bed, nifty light switch and curtain controls on both sides of the bed, and the rainfall shower. There's even a fully stocked bar to conveniently quench your alcoholic thirsts. I started my mornings stuffing myself at the breakfast buffet below where you can seat yourself to a window booth for that seaside view. My favorite thing was the fact that there's an infinite pool and a HUGE 24/7 gym below with all sorts of weights and cardio machines to work off all the food you'll be eating at all the tasty restaurants nearby. The only minor downside was that any form of transportation was quite a walk. For the subway, it's about 21 minutes. I also did a City Sightseeing Bus tour and the nearest stop was also about 15 minutes to walk to. Despite all the walking pain, staying at W Barcelona made for the cherry on top of my vacation. 10/10 would shut my mouth up and do it again. read more

I'm SPG Plat100 and have stayed at many St. Regis and W hotels all around the world, and just wanted to say that we had the absolute best time at the W Barcelona. Of course the rooms, food, location, and amenities were perfect. However, it was the staff that took it to the next level for my wife and I. Every interaction we had with a W Hotel staff member was friendly and made us feel at home. From checking in, to the surprise flowers in the room, to the two bartenders competing to see who can create the best old fashioned (which wasn't even on the menu), to the waitstaff in the restaurants--it was all a first-class experience. To top everything off was one specific staff interaction in particular. My wife and I were speaking to a hostess named Sanja at the pool entrance about our favorite hotels all around the world. She mentioned Croatia as must-visit destination and based on her description, we already added it to our list for future vacations. What were were not expecting a few days later was a full handmade map delivered to our room with the best places to visit, the Starwood hotels in each destination, handwritten notes, and accordion photos. WOW!!! I hope she is still at the W since she gave us the most amazing, coolest thing we have ever received at any hotel--ever. I even brought the map into work to as an example of how amazing the staff at the W Barcelona is. read more

Can you hear me now? I cherish my privacy, especially when I have to use the facilities. There is nothing more embarrassing than having to sit in a frosted, all glass enclosure and drop kids off at the pool. I'm talking about pooping of course. Even with the television turned on high to muffle the sound, every plop, splat and grunt echoed to my roommate's dismay. For your convenience, the toilet is located less than five feet from the bed and there is no escaping the visual effects of a flesh colored figure wiping their nether region. To add to the embarrassment, on the third day the house cleaner barged into the room unannounced and asked if we wanted it cleaned. My partner was sitting in his underwear at the time. I was in the frosted glass shower. He told her to come back in an hour and not five minutes later, she returned. By that time I had a towel around me and I asked her to put the DO NOT DISTURB sign she had in her hand, back on the door. She never cleaned that day, or the next. At 6:00 P.M., we had to call for service. It took another 45 minuets for anyone to show up and replace the towels. They never did clean the toilet. As a style maker in the design industry, I felt this hotel failed on many levels and not just the poorly designed facilities. The hallways are monochromatic red caverns where sheep-sized pills of wool gather on the solid red carpet. Every scar from bellman carts and nights of drunks crashing into walls are visible everywhere. The hotel staff was friendly up to the point when we declined to purchase tickets to the party event of the week. I noted few guests wanted to party outdoor in the cool weather as well. Even fewer guests shared rooms on our floor. In fact, the only other guests, an angry American girl, fought until 5:00 A.M. about wanting her boyfriend to breach her virginity before March of 2015. On first sight of this hotel, the outside is magnificent. Inside it's a different story. I've been told that W hotels are considered "Party" hotels for the young and carefree but that is not why I stayed here. I liked the proximity to the heart of the city. I could see the competitor I stayed at the time before. After this experience, I don't mind walking a few blocks more. read more

A wonderful place! Lovely architecture, located by the beach facing the Mediterranean ocean. Great times here for sure! Excellent atmosphere. read more

"La Vela" as the locals call it is not only one of the hottest hotels in Barcelona but also the best W hotel I've had the pleasure of staying at. You will not be subjugated to any of the corporate faux boutique feel of the W Miami/LA at this Mediterranean gem. I booked with a 3rd party travel site but were still upgraded to a Faboulous room on arrival. While I generally consider the W room designations cheesy (wonderful/faboulous/fantastic etc.) the tag really fit this time. Apart from the astonishing view over the beach from our room the room itself made great use of its location. We found ourselves at night just lying in bed with the entire beautiful city of Barcelona lit up in front of us. The monsoon shower and its accompanying toiletries were of great quality. My company especially appreciated the make-up touch-up kit. It's such a little thing but still memorable. The hotel pool and affiliated beach club were heaven-sent on the hot July afternoons. The area around the pool had plenty of hot, young members of both sexes hanging around and just raising the image of the hotel as sleek and sexy by their mere presence. The Eclipse Bar pulsed with energy at night and even though I didn't like the layout of the place I can't deny that it was well packed even on a Tuesday night. s were this well equipped I wouldn't have to lug around my own equipment. If there is one thing I would have to complain about it would oddly enough be the location of the hotel. While the actual placement of the hotel with close access to the (topless/bottomless) beach is great for sunbathers there's a long walk involved to reach the metro. If you, like me, don't care for hotel buffet breakfasts the same long walk is involved if you want another good place to find your morning coffee at. Another thing that I might pick on was the fact that I couldn't get the lobby Wi-Fi to work on my smartphone. I was pleasantly surprised to find no less than two Swedish speakers among the hotel staff. That really caught me off-guard, for some reason it was difficult speaking my native language in a foreign country. In addition, just about everyone in the staff spoke excellent English. Even the cleaning ladies could make do with their English which is something you'll be hard pressed to find in the W south Beach (Miami). All-in-all an excellent stay at an equally excellent hotel. I would love to return to Barcelona in the summer just to stay at the W and cruising between the beach, pool and nearby tapas place par excellence: Cal Pep. read more

Tears of sadness will be my final memory of this hotel. Sadness that I had to check-out, that I had to leave, that my work conference turned zen workidy ( work holiday) turned back into work. It was like Cinderella waking up the next morning after the ball with slippers still firmly planted on both feet. A memory, a dream, nothing more. Enough hyperbole, this is simply the best hotel in the world. Let's start with check-in: somehow despite a full hotel and 4 conferences in town (including one at the W), I received what I still believe was an error code with the rate because when earlier in the week my boss casually suggested his greatest wish was to stay here one day-- I tried to find something less than 900€ a night to no avail even on our corporate travel site. But in the middle of the night, like the fairy tale this is, I was sitting in a hot tub with phone in hand (yes I have a problem), and checked the rate in desperation---200€!!!with our corporate rate. Immediately I booked 4 separate rooms for my whole team, all under my name. Not wanting to look a gift fairy in the mouth I was concerned that SPG or the hotel would cancel what is clearly 4 duplicate reservations, so I called my ambassador and told them the situation. They put notations in the records and assured me everything would be okay. So, I had everyone cancel their reservations for the Grand Central hotel (thank god-- read my review of that monstrosity) and said a little prayer since I would be the last to arrive that night. When I checked in i was greeted as I usually am, friendly with a quick review of the rate and payment exchanged. The check-in desk did let me know my suite upgrade request (for which there are limited certificates) did clear and ah-ha, you're the platinum. Your colleagues have arrived. Mind you this hotel has ~1000 rooms and was fully booked, but they still remembered that there were 3 others traveling with me! These guys are wizards clearly. The bellhop brought my bags to the poshest, nicest room I've ever stayed in. Mind you I've been a platinum with SPG for a decade and I've stayed in suites at the St. Regis, Westin, even other W hotels, but this was like being transported into the life of an A-list celebrity. Modern fixtures, colored Phillips light bulbs that you could choose the color (out of over 100 colors), leather couches, two rooms, beach views for days, and they even stocked the place with full size Bliss spa products-- including facial scrub and makeup remover pads! The hotel even so kindly left out three bottles of alcohol on the living room table-- clearly they know me. Not a beach girl, I somehow got some "free time", but I had a ton of work to finish and since the wifi was good I decided that I might as well work by the pool. Even if you don't have a suite and those rooms are closets (maybe they are) the pool area more than makes up for it. Glassy and blue, the exact same color as the ocean just beyond. There are beach chairs and private/ covered cabanas distributed around a wooden deck. It's first come, first served. They offer food and liquor service. There is also a private deck on the E floor for hotel guests if you want a quieter experience. This W location has a Bliss Spa with pricey, but lovely treatment options. I had a facial and blissage. Amazing, friendly, and revitalized me for the weeks to come. The downstairs bar, like all W hotels, served amazing drinks. I got the Berry Fizz and this other drink that required an ice sculpture to sit on top and defuse the alcohol through. The top bar, Eclipse, was sort of meh; small and loud, but otherwise the whole experience was just incredibly zen. I spent the rest of the trip checking prices hourly to see if I could stay there just a few more days instead of moving from Wonderland back into the city proper. And when I checked out at the end, I cried. The dream had come full circle. When I'm ready to chuck it all and sail around the world, I will instead pause and move into the W Barcelona-- it's like the same but better. read more

Just because a manager responds to a negative review doesn't make the place instantly forgiven for p*ss poor service. I simply came to lounge here and kill time. But being me each time I ordered I was given a bill. I was allowed no tab. Everyone around me was allowed to keep a tab open, but not me. I had to pay for each item. Coffee- Bill. Tea- Bill. Coffee- bill. I had a stack of envelopes with receipts. I guess it is assumed that I would order an item and skip out on the bill. Good luck Spain but the W should know better. read more

We didn't stay at the W since the location is not very close to anything except for the beach. However we wanted to go to the beach so we took a taxi to the W to avoid some sketchier areas of La Barceloneta. We definitely did the right thing, once you walk out of the hotel to the beach, there's an area with chair and umbrellas. If you aren't staying at the hotel, you are still welcome to use them for 12.50 euro a chair and order drinks from the bar. For us, it was a smart choice because we didn't have to worry about our stuff when we went into the ocean. It was safe, great service, cute boy servers and an unlimited amount of beach towels! Peaceful, relaxing and not very busy! We may have to stay here next time we visit Barcelona. read more

The room and hotel itself was very nice and had a luxurious feeling. With that, it's extremely pretentious. If you're not dressed head to toe in designer clothing, don't expect to be given the kindest service. I stayed here while I was living in Barcelona with my mom who was visiting. Everything went well for my mom and I when we checked in, but the service was a different story the next day. I invited some friends (I think 4 people) to come hang out at the pool. We were dressed normally, as we were just at the beach, but maybe we didn't fit the vibe? When we walked in, a manager stopped me and rudely asked what I was doing. I explained that I was staying there and was just going to chill by the pool with my friends. He was very stern with me, and asked to see my room card, like he didn't believe that I could be staying there. After seeing that I was, indeed, a guest, he waved us off to the pool with an annoyed attitude. I think a lot of people stay here because of its status, but there are many other hotels in Barcelona that are just as cool and where you will be treated more kindly. read more

What a shame, W Barcelona. You could be so much better. The pools are gorgeous, and so are the views... but what truly sucks about this hotel is the way it's built - with a lobby (that serves as a club entrance area) in the centre with rooms surrounding it, going up. I think if you get a room higher than the 6th floor, you'll be alright, as those floors are above a closed off ceiling. But I was assigned a room on the 2nd floor, and the noise from the lobby (drunk screaming, etc) and the pool bar (club music playing) is simply unbelievable. Staff is extremely unhelpful in trying to control the noise. Even if you are out late, you better stay out until 6 AM as that's when the noise calms a bit. If you're intending to catch some shut eye at this hotel, best bring ear plugs and a whole lot of patience. read more

This is one of the most beautifully modern hotels in all of Spain. Right on the Mediterranean Sea it is really a landmark for Barcelona now. Gorgeous rooms, a fabulous bar/pool area for guests to over look the beach without having to be covered in sand. The club at the top of the hotel though is the reason for the 3 stars, it's plain old BORING!! When you think of Barcelona you think of a party, and the W has not been able to capture the spirit of the Spanish in this way. So enjoy your stay definitely, but head into town if you want a fun night out! read more

really nice, but expensive place at the beach of barcelona near the port. They have a bar with a huge card of beverages and they serve for example an italian beer. Ibiza beer is no longer on the card. that is a pity. A lot of beautiful people are relaxing in this area and the have also the club eclipse in the 23rd floor. You have a faboulus view from there down to barcelona beach and if you are in the club, check out the toilets ; - ) at the start the eclipse is a bar and then at night they remove the lounges and from then it is a club with a biger dance space. The waiters can do a lot of different cocktails and they have a huge offer of beverages. Take your time, it can take a little longer till your drinks are coming... check it out ... read more

W Barcelona - 08/2016 - Hotels Near Me - Barcelona, B

If I could give this less than one star, I would. I guess the one star can be for the good vibe. We went to the restaurant Wet by the pool and to say horrible is the nicest thing I can say. I am not hard to please and have enjoyed every other food experience in Spain. 1. It took more than 30 minutes for someone to take our order 2. It took more than 35 minutes for our food to come out, and they forgot about one of the meals, so we didn't want to eat until theirs came. 20 minutes later, their food came and our food was freezing. 3. Our drinks came our 1 hour after ordering them... And the bar wasn't even busy! 4. I wonder how long it'll take for the bill to get here I would stay away from this restaurant for sure. There are many other restaurants in the area that want your business, obviously this isn't one of them. read more

Come to enjoy the W Barcelona and spend 100.00 on cocktails and then they tell us you can't go outside because you are not a guest. You spend money on a few drinks and the patio is empty and they say no you can't go there. Was having several friends meeting up here but told them to go somewhere else. Not impressed with the number of rules they seem to have every corner you turn. Would also only say the hotel overall is a 3.5*. Nice lobby cocktail area but not anymore impressive than any other modern feel hotel I've been to in BCN. read more

The W hotels are one of my favorites - and the W in Barcelona is an absolutely amazing place - beautiful, sexy, hip...almost like a supermodel. BUT, like a supermodel - she's perfect from a distance, but is worn and flawed when you look up close. Specifically when considering the rooms...we had an amazing room on the 19th floor with the most jaw-dropping view of the ocean. On the surface, our room was PERFECT, but then we started noticing the strange stains on the carpet, the discoloration on the bathroom mirror, the broken closet fixtures, the non-operational lights...etc etc... You can tell the W likes to party, and I'm sure our room would have some amazing stories to tell, but when you drop that kind of money on a room, you have certain expectations...in the least, I expect to not dodge iffy stains on the carpet... The location more than made up for the flaws, and quite frankly...no one is perfect...not even supermodels. LOVED the direct beach access, and the fact that we didn't have to fight for lounge chairs on the beach, loved how many dining options we had and the fact that there were so many interesting people to see. Given the choice, I would totally stay at the W again...I just hope someone gives her a little more TLC so she doesn't look so used and abused. read more

Amazing hotel. From the very moment you arrive via taxi you are treated with the 6star quality. Very friendly brilliant staff throughout. The hotel is massive 28th floors I think and they have everything you'd expect. A club on the 26th floor two bars and three restaurants. The rooms are big and the beds are amazing. Large memory foam mattress with a duck feature topper(if I recall right) which made for the best nights sleep I've ever had. The curtains, wait for it, are electric and the windows cover the entire size of the wall facing out. So you get this really amazing frameless view from your bed in the morning. Right from the two outdoor pools to the outdoor bar and sun deck and bar food it's all good but the breakfast was a let down. Terrible what they considered to be a English breakfast. A buffet mix of cereal, croissants, toast, fish selection and fruit with horrible rashers and sausages. You can pay the extra for American or Spanish breakfast but I was spending enough for my stay so didn't try them. Last thing to watch out for is the room flirt you are staying in. If you are ok floor 1 to 5 expect some noise at night coming from the lobby area which your room door overlooks in a impressive building design. The noise being the crowds leaving and entering the nightclub through this area. The doors let in a lot enough to keep you awake. But then I always had a few drinks each night so quickly feel asleep but those their on a quiet holiday will be upset by the loud enough noise at night. All in a very nice place. Not sure about the high cost but the location is great as its the best in the beach area for sure. read more

This review is for the downstairs and upstairs bars, the building architecture and the view as well as the surroundings, not for the hotel. The bar downstairs has a beautiful vibe to it. It was quite relaxing, and the choices for high end Scotch and wine were quite good. Both the barkeepers knew their bottles well and had something to say about each drink. There are nice seating areas outside as well where you can enjoy a drink while looking at people walking along the beach. The top bar is a bit dark and not as lively as downstairs, but the views are stunning both towards the ocean as well as the city. I would come here again to hang out. read more

The W Barcelona is one of the most unique and beautiful hotels I've ever stayed in. Every room has a view of the ocean, but that's not the only thing that sets this hotel apart. They really have everything here, from nightstand room controls to a gym that gives all others a run for their money (not to mention the beach view while you train!). With a perfect location and luxurious accommodations, you could happily spend your entire vacation at the W without even leaving the hotel grounds. read more

I stayed here previously, in the week that the hotel opened for business. During that trip, there were numerous opening week issues where Internet access was intermittent, TV didn't work, etc... But the staff made up for this with great service, attention and complimentary amenities. On this last trip in November we found service to be much less attentive and a lack of cleanliness in halls and rooms. Our first non-smoking room smelled like a cigar lounge, and the second smelled fresh, but was not really clean. It appeared that room staff only made beds, changed towels and superficially cleaned. I purposely left some floss and scraps of paper on floor in different areas of the suite and they remained there for 3 days of stay. read more

I cant say enough great things about this hotel!! 5 STARS all the way. The Beds were extremely comfortable ( The most comfortable that I have ever slept on at a hotel)!! The view from our room was amazing. We were only on the 2nd floor and the view was spactacular! The lounge had a great fruit dish and great drinks! The hotel staff was friendly and everyone spoke english ( felt like I was right at home in the states). Our room had an amazing oversized tub and Bliss toiletries. A huge tahitian shower. Cant ask for a better hotel!! Pros: Beds were VERY comfortable Every room has a magnificient view The Hotel is right on the beach Quiet room, the only hotel I ever stayed in where I didnt hear outside hallway noises. Huge Tub read more

If you happen to find yourself in Barcelona, I highly recommend staying at The W. We arrived 7 hours before check in time, and the Judi (at the Front Desk) checked out bags gave us complimentary drinks and gave us a place to change so we could hang by the pool. Not even an hour later she texted me saying she had a room available. Everything about it was spectacular - the bathroom (we loved the shower), the view, the beds (mattresses were glorious). It was super comfortable and clean. At the rooftop, David was great! He took really good care of us, made delicious drinks and gave great club recommendations. All of the pools were beautiful and really fun. My only disappointment was Juan, the pool manager, took my drink order and never brought the drinks over. After telling our waiter, Javier, not to charge us for the drink, we still got charged for the drink! Bit of a downer, I still give the W a 12/10 just don't order from Juan (super sweet, cute guy though) ! read more

Amazing. My wife and I spent a night here on our honeymoon, and it was amazing! The property is gorgeous, the location is perched at the edge of the city on an amazing little isthmus commanding wonderful views. We had a blast, enjoyed amazing spa treatments and some lovely meals. Our room was pristine was a fantastic view, modern walk in rain shower and rich amenities. The bed was so comfortable, clean crisp sheets and plush pillows. The hotel has some awesome spots for a seaside meal, drink or to just lounge poolside, we never left the property. read more

W Barcelona is cool hotel to be at. Expect all the W goodness - it is right on the beach, cocktails are great, service is good for such a big hotel, pool area's cabanas are free of charge, plenty of benches so no need to stress about waking up early to 'get a bench', breakfast was very nice as it has option of made to order items as well as buffet. Great W music throughout, let's get the party started! To get the beach body ready, the W gym is well equipped way beyond a hotel gym. Location could be a little far off from the main touristy stuff but not a problem for us as I can walk anywhere anytime anyways. There is almost buses you can take. Rooms are nice and spacious. Great rain-showers. read more
