Hotel W, Barcelona

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.”

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.

Unforgettable experience

Our stay at W Barcelona was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we arrived, Carolina went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed with her warm and friendly demeanor. The room was absolutely stunning, with breathtaking décor and an incredible view. Every detail exceeded our expectations, and the hotel even reached out to ensure everything was perfect. This trip was extra special as it was my partner’s birthday, and I also proposed—W Barcelona made the occasion truly unforgettable. Their thoughtful touches and outstanding service created an experience we will cherish forever. Without a doubt, this is the best hotel I have ever stayed at. Thank you for making our stay so amazing and memorable!

There was nothing to dislike!

Great experience!

The property and grounds were very clean. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast at the SALT restaurant was lovely too. Great spa facilities. I highly recommend the high rise rooms - the view is amazing.

I think the hot tub area (walls) needs a bit of TLC and the temperature could be slightly warmer.

Breathtaking view, Hearty Breakfast, Will come again

View was exceptional and we were given an upgrade to make it even better

We were not notified it was a Three Kings parade and got stuck near the Colonnade monument. It would have been nice to be told earlier to expect a parade crowd and no taxis available.

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

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.
