Hotel W, Barcelona

Plaça Rosa Del Vents 1, Final, Passeig de Joan de Borbó, 08039 Barcelona, Spain (show on map)

Expert reviews

CNN review:

“A beacon on the Barcelona beachfront, the W edifice gazes out into the Mediterranean. From the outside it’s eye-catching; inside it’s roomy, light and does a slick job catering to the guest prepared to spend extra on expansive sea views.”

Fodors review:

“Architect Ricardo Bofill’s W is a stunner, inside and out, from the six-story atrium lobby with its black ceramic tile floors, suspended basket chairs and glitter walls to the adjacent bar-lounge with direct access to the ‘Attitudes’ lounge deck, chill-out divans and pool.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Barcelona.

Telegraph review:

“You’ll need a streak of fabulousness to feel at home in the W – its poolside areas, particularly, can look like catalogue photo shoots, and entrance to the Eclipse bar is only for the glam. In the rooms the all-glass fronts afford spectacular views of the sea, the city or – if you’re lucky, or pay a little more – both.”

Great hotel, location and food. Pity about the poor service at times.

Location, food, some service was excellent

Triple room not ready, even on return to hotel after first day out and very early flight. Check in and out took a while. Service by the infinity pool bar was dreadful. Didn’t take drinks orders, confusion about where we could sit to eat by different members of staff meaning lunch took 45 mins to be ordered. The lower pool was great service.

We had a good time overall, but there’s definitely room for improvement

The view from the room was stunning, the food at the restaurants and by the pool was delicious, and the cocktails were excellent. There was great music that added to the lively atmosphere, and the service throughout our stay was very good. The bed in the room was also extremely comfortable

We received our room only after 3:00 PM. The hotel is relatively outdated and requires renovation in several areas. Unfortunately, the room we got was not clean enough.

At Noxe restaurant,the behavior of the waiter Elan was at its worst level , arrogant and rude . His supervisor was defending him instead of teaching him to be polite with all types of clients.i left the restaurant very disappointed with 4 of my guests.

Everything! I was very impressed with the gym equipment and that they had someone frequently replace towels and water bottles. The view is outstanding, food was excellent.

The price is something to choke on. But what you get for it is fantastic.

We felt pampered and relaxed. The staff were excellent

The view was wonderful overlooking the beach and sea. The breakfast was excellent with a huge variety of food and as much as you wanted The room was comfortable and warm with good toiletries available

I feel they could have catered better for gluten intolerant guests

The most incredble way to spend my partners 21st Birthday surprise

The room was set up incredibly and the view out onto the beachfront was picture perfect. Cleaners do incredible jobs in turning your room around and setting it back up nicely when you come back from a day out exploring the city. The little touches in the room are what makes it though, the bedside controlled curtains and lights along with the speaker the room comes with just tops the experience off!

The only downside of my experience was the rooftop bar was quite disappointing. It was very small and cramped and only if you are a VIP you get to sit/see out of the window when being on the 26th floor.

Overall, it’s a great hotel, amazing location and kind well spoken staff, would stay again on my nex

The location is amazing, the entire staff were awesome and very welcoming, pretty much took care of my every need, would recommend this hotel 100 percent.The view from my room, I stood on the 16th floor, was out of this world.

The one thing was the weather, of course it’s not the hotels fault, but I guess my timing wasn’t the greatest, the other thing was I was charged €15 three times for accommodation fees which I did not understand why.
