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.

I only got the chance to stay one night at the Hotel Sofia but was pretty impressed with my experience. First, I'll try to clarify a couple things--while this is listed as a five star hotel it did not necessarily seem to fulfill all of the areas that one would expect from a five star hotel, BUT the price I paid was very competitive and the overall strength of the hotel left me with a very good impression of the hotel in general. Strengths: The hotel staff are very friendly, hotel decor both in the public spaces and in the rooms is very attractive and stylish--I was impressed! Very clean, great bedding, good sound proofing with the windows, and I loved the Natura Bisse bathroom amenities. Air conditioning worked well and I also appreciated the bottles of water they provided in the room. Areas for improvement: Not enough for me to take off a star from my rating but I would say that the bathroom towels were definitely not up to the standard one would expect from a five star hotel. Thin and scratchy. Sad. The hotel also did not provide turndown service for the room which is also what one would expect from a five star hotel. Exterior room windows were filthy so I'd recommend the hotel invest in some regular cleaning service. Overall, I really liked this hotel, would happily return as I enjoyed the location too (being a bit outside the very chaotic center of Barcelona), and of course I'd be more than happy to return if the price was as decent (relatively speaking) as it was when I booked it.

We only stayed a night, but we'll definitely be back to plan a longer stay. Location was perfect for us, we didn't visit the restaurant as our stay was a short one. The staff were very professional, friendly and jovial

Very nice hotel, offering enjoyable dining experiences and service. The staff is gracious and the hotel is immaculate. For one person the standard room would have been fine, for 2 people on the smaller size. From my perspective could have been brighter, a quick fix with another lamp. It was great the room drapes blocked out the light. The bathroom amenities were high quality. Because it was on a side street you don't hear all the street noise. The drawback is the lack of common space, especially since the room size is limoited.

From the moment we arrived after a long flight, we felt so welcomed. Miguel at the door Is a true gem who always greeted us with a smile and was always ready to assist. The rooms are well appointed. The beds ( including the single extra bed) were very comfortable- it was hard to leave the room to sightsee. The shower was a delight - huge with rain shower and extra wand. The rooms and the entire hotel was immaculate and very clean. The breakfast buffet had three large sections with fruits, breads, and a hot section with made to order waffles, pancakes and eggs. Emiliano at breakfast was another gem ! Such genuine and sincere service! The staff overall were incredibly welcoming and kind! It is obvious the culture of this place is to provide outstanding service! I will extol the virtues of this hotel to everyone ! And will definitely return when in Barcelona.
