W Barcelona

My son and i stayed at W Hotel in October as a treat for half term. The building is commanding, striking, beautiful and a statement landmark on the coastal parade. It is walking distance to all the main attractions and literally on the beach. You enter the hotel to a huge atrium with the trademark W pizzaz of sparkles and lights. Sometimes with W hotels you feel that the 'coolness' outshines and attention to detail and servive attentivness and W Baracelona was a mixed bag when.it comes to service. The welcome is non existant with the person on the door and in the lobby, however the reception was great. We checked in with a nice lady that was i assume a senior position. She was professional, attentive allbeit more formal then friendly. She gave us all the info we needed and off we went to our room. The corridoors all face into the atrium and are a dark red colour. The room we had was beautiful. Overlooking the beach with floor to ceiling window flooded wirh natural daylight. It was spacious, well maintained and most importantly well cleaned. The beds are mega comfy and automated controls are effichent. We ate one night in Fire restaurant.....we enjoyed it very much. Local fresh ingreidents with a theme of fire. The steak tartar on bonemarrow was delicious. The hostess was super friendly, kind and bubbly. The server was knowledgeable, engaging and friendly. The lounge bar was cool. Open plan and is designed to be open, friendly and relaxed. We went twice, the second time we were really well looked after by the waitress. Drinks were great. We ate in COYA too. Food was delicious, as in COYA London, the room was cool and the restaurant was themed for halloween which was super fun. The service was very arrogant, we felt that the server wasnt interested in us as we were 'not cool enough' or 'not wealthy enough' to be in such a place. The push for upselling was very obtrustive and shameless. It was a shame that the gentleman serving us made us feel like we shouldnt have been there. We went to the spa / pool which is fab, it was relaxing, chilled, not overcrowded and well maintained. We played cards around the outside pool area which was great. Also the Wet deck was a really nice area that i assume was quieter than it nornamlly would be in the height of summer. We didnt visit the Noxe bar / restaurant as ny son wasnt old enough, but it always seemed to have guests going there. There is a direct route to the beach which is great with a number of restaurants at the bottom of the hotel next to the beach (i do not think these are not part of the hotel). All-in-all we loved being in this hotel. It was a great stay. We will be back and definately reccomend to anyone travelling to wonderful Barcelona.

We recently stayed at the W Hotel Barcelona, and from the moment we arrived, it felt special. We were warmly welcomed by a lovely gentleman named Romero at the concierge desk. He took our suitcases and walked us to reception, setting the perfect tone for our stay with his kindness and smile. At reception, we met Max, who was simply outstanding. He went above and beyond to help us, attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely kind. Everything he did made us feel so well cared for. An absolute star. Our room had a beautiful sea and beach view, and waking up to that stunning view of the Mediterranean each morning was unforgettable. It made our celebration even more special. We also spoke with Rachel from the concierge team, who helped with restaurant bookings and recommendations. She suggested the hotel’s own restaurant, Fire, which turned out to be an excellent choice for our evening meal. We were celebrating a very special wedding anniversary, and the whole experience couldn’t have been more perfect. The service was first-class, the views were spectacular, and the atmosphere was lively yet relaxed. Every member of staff we met was friendly, welcoming, and eager to make our stay memorable. The hotel is currently going through a two-year renovation program, which will make an already impressive place even better. An amazing stay in a wonderful hotel. We’d happily recommend the W Hotel Barcelona to anyone, especially if you’re celebrating something special. It’s a place that truly knows how to create lasting memories.

Thank you for a fantastic stay at the W Hotel Barcelona — amazing views, beautiful design. We truly appreciated the warm hospitality & outstanding service and the best vibes all weekend long! Best bestie getaway

Great hotel- amazing views. Staff is great. Definitely try out the spa. Had a great massage. Lots of good options within the hotel If you want to stay in or lots of options within walking distance

Honestly one of the worst lounge experiences I’ve had in Barcelona. The staff were dismissive and borderline rude from the moment we arrived — it felt like we were an inconvenience rather than paying guests. The vibe is incredibly pretentious, more about appearances than actually creating a good experience. Drinks were overpriced (which I expected), but at least make them well — ours were watery, unbalanced, and took forever to arrive. You’re basically paying for the view and a name, not the service or atmosphere. There are plenty of places in the city with better cocktails, friendlier staff, and a much better energy. Skip it.
