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.

Crowded lobby. Long queue for check-in. Don't be fooled by the word "premium" room, it is not premium. Inattentive staff. Only thing I like is the breakfast, staff are vey nice and choice of food is great for continental breakfast.

While away from city centre and main attraction, it was fairly easy to commute to. Located next to Barcelona stadium and is in middle of business hub. Staff at hotel were very helpful and welcoming. Really top notch. Got a room upgrade but had to pay a fair small fee and I would say it was worth it. Lots of amenities. Unfortunately we didn’t get to use spa facilities it opened quite late. Rooftop bar looked cozy, outside pool area was lovely, hotel reception was beautifully laid out. Downsides were that breakfast wasn’t as good as I thought. It was quite limited given the size of the hotel. Also the lifts take quite a long time to come during the day, so be prepared to wait a while for them to come. Air conditioning stopped working during our stay. Overall it was a very nice experience and would visit again for sure if I visit Barcelona again.

The Grand Hyatt Barcelona was conveniently located; onsite food options were fantastic. Our room was very clean and had a great view of the city. We had club lounge access and were pleased with the variety offered. Staff were friendly.

Good hotel, cannot compare to Hilton Conrad or JW Marriot. Good location, but not excellent for visiting main attractions. Not a bad stay, but don't expect too much of it.

No TV, Terrible Air Conditioning. Poor Management response. Manager hid in her office and when confronted that there was nothing she could do. Staff was paralyzed by management, and inadequate for hotel capacity. Will never stay at another Hyatt. Hyatt Corporate was alerted and although 2 weeks have passed, nothing has been done.
