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.”

It's a nice hotel, but it's unlucky with the noise.

The room was super nice

There was continuous noise throughout the whole night, like someone was walking or the wind was hitting something. It was really annoying.

Amazing hotel, stayed for the weekend. Perfect if you’re looking to spend some quality time with your partner and perfect for a short stay as hotel has a nightclub upstairs, spa and a restaurant. We did go for a walk to local shops and went into the central, nearest shop is a 10-15min walk .. beautiful view from bedroom..

Room service was good, but the breakfast the fruit hadn’t been washed but that’s just me being ocd. Other than that the hotel was amazing.

This is simply the BEST place I've ever stayed in Barcelona GREAT Hotel!

The View is AMAZING I don't think there is a bad room in the building! We woke up using the auto blinds/shades to the most magnificent water view with boats on the horizon.

The only thing I would have like a little better is if this hotel was maybe a little more central it's not a horrible downfall to walk 10 mins to things because you are cruising along the beach etc but at the end of a LONG night trekking all over BCN would have been nice to be closer to the center

Great hotel with great views - but beware the parking lot which is not signed to make guests aware of the theft and secu

The room was amazing and the staff exceptionally friendly. The views are exceptional.

The car park is dangerous. Our car was broken into with baggage stolen and the area is not safe, despite seeming to be part of and owned by the hotel. Don’t leave bags in your car.

Upgraded room was amazing

Ordered a drink from the bar was given a completely different drink which I gave back and was told they didn’t have what I ordered. Why didn’t they tell me instead of giving me another alcoholic drink. I requested a room next to my sister which I was given however it took nearly 30 minutes while reception sorted out our room. Didn’t get access to our room until 5.30 pm

Great location but it is a tad far from the city but you know that when you book. The checkin staff could have been a little bit warmer considering the price you pay

pretty much everything was good

It would have been nice to have been clearer about the view from the room I was there for the AC37 and would have liked the option of a view which was to the NE not the SE - when i booked it said "Sea view" but didnt make it clear which direction it was. I should have asked though! ALSO why is the 26th floor restuarant not open during theAC37 racing? It would be a fantastic place to watch from and we would have been happy to have paid a premium rate for that experience (I had lunch there with the New York Yacht Club on 14/9 and it was great

We were there for America's Cup, so it was a great location for us. At night, we would take a taxi in for dinner, and then walk home.

A couple of things ... walking in thru the bottom, from the beach area, nasty smell. Also, chlorinated water from the shower, and I think the shower gel gave me really bad hives, on my arms, shoulders, it was awful. Stopped using the shampoo and shower gel, and it got better. I'm home now, and it's all gone. Also, make sure to thoroughly explain what you want done with your laundry. Cost me a fortune when I just wanted the basic done.

unforgettable stay in w barcelona

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the upgrade I received during my recent stay at the W Hotel. It was an absolute pleasure to stay in the 2406 and experience the luxurious amenities and services that your hotel has to offer. From the moment I arrived, I was treated with exceptional hospitality and warmth by the entire staff. Your team went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was nothing short of perfect, and I truly appreciated the extra touches that made my stay so memorable. The upgrade was a wonderful surprise, and I felt like royalty being treated to such a lovely room. The woow suite were simply divine, and I loved every minute of my stay. Thank you again for your generosity and for making my stay at the W Hotel truly unforgettable. I will definitely be returning in the future and recommending your hotel to all of my friends and family. and again, I would like to thank the front desk lady and the manager for the complimentary minibar. .

"The Fire 🔥 restaurant was absolutely amazing and the food was so delicious, and so fresh we left feeling completely satisfied and already planning our next visit!"
