Open your eyes to verdant tree-lined streets, a vibrant atmosphere embracing the arts, and the beautiful sunshine and weather of the Mediterranean, as you arrive at the Hotel Sofia. Located in the heart of Barcelona's bustling shopping and business center, and just minutes from the sea, you will experience this city in style. Plush rooms are bright and inviting, crafted with soft pastel tones and dark, rich wood furniture and accents. Sunlight streams through large picture windows, while city views and the Mediterranean in the distance will take your breath away. Luxurious bathrooms offer complete serenity, while all the modern amenities and services leave you feeling like royalty. Relax and enjoy all that Barcelona has to offer from the lap of luxury at the Hotel Princess Sofia.
Wake to a beautiful day on your first morning, and enjoy a fabulous breakfast at Contraste Restaurant or at iQ smart fresh food, with a menu carefully designed by a nutritionist. Venture out for the day to discover this amazing city, and start with a stroll down the famed La Rambla. Enjoy fantastic and eclectic shopping, vibrant street performances, and delightful cafés where you can sit, relax and people watch. Make your way to La Sagrada Familia, a magnificent temple designed by Anton Gaudi and begun in 1881, where you can marvel at its massive structure, which is still being constructed today. Continue on to Gaudi's psychedelic Park Guell, on a hill overlooking the city, and enjoy a pleasantly strange afternoon amongst serpentine benches, brilliant tile mosaics, giant decorative lizards, and gingerbread-styled houses. In the afternoon stop in at a lovely café for a true taste of Barcelona and enjoy fabulous fresh seafood and pintxos, the delightful tapas-styled local snacks. Take the rest of the afternoon to relax with a sail along the Mediterranean coast, or be moved by an astounding performance at the Gran Teatre del Liceu or L'Auditori. That night, return to the hotel for a well-deserved massage at AQUA Diagonal Spa, then enjoy a fun-filled dinner in the hotel's very own German Biergarten. At Hotel Sofia, every day is truly this magical.

Wonderful property, go immediately. Location is slightly out of center, but plenty to do nearby including fun to be had at El Corte Ingles and other shopping a short walk away. Greeted as Globalist, the breakfast and club lounge were both delicious. God a wonderful upgrade and got to treat my mom to the best hotel room she has ever seen. She is still talking about it and showing photos to all her friends. Attentive and warm service, shout out to Luna and Laurencio for taking extra good care of us!

I was trapped between floors in one of the main elevators during the recent heatwave. The emergency call button did not work at all ( yes I followed the instructions on the placard) .The security camera in the elevator is obviously not monitored. Fortunately I had my phone. I repeatedly called the front desk number , and the hotel general number ,but no one answered. In some desperation I finally called 112 for the fire department to come and release me. I was met by management on my release with a water bottle and a towel and a bunch of completely ridiculous ,lame and unbelievable excuses . They claimed a past power outage, but the entire time I was trapped the lights were on full and the TV information screen was showing the football scores! I question that an active alarm is not a vital safety concern? Ps....lots of long black hair on the floor in my room and a defective television. I'm 30 minutes into waiting for someone to attend to it.
