W Barcelona

Excellent deffo one of the best hotels in the world.

We had a wonderful stay at W Barcelona and would absolutely recommend this hotel! First of all, the location is incredible. Waking up to the Mediterranean Sea every morning was such a beautiful experience. The views from the hotel are breathtaking — the ocean, the beach, the lively streets at night, and even the Sagrada Família in the distance. It truly captures the beauty and energy of Barcelona. The hotel itself was very clean and well maintained, and our room was spotless throughout our stay. We also had a great time at NOXE. The atmosphere was fun and stylish, and both the drinks and food were excellent. I especially loved the Japanese-inspired cocktails — creative and very well done. But what made our stay truly memorable was the service, especially Stephanie, the hotel manager. She was incredibly patient, warm, and professional when helping us with our concerns. What impressed me most was that she genuinely tried to understand the situation from a guest’s perspective and did everything she could, within her ability, to accommodate our needs. Stephanie represents hospitality at its best. Her professionalism, kindness, patience, and attention to guests truly stand out, even among people in the hospitality industry. Being far away from home, her warmth made us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for, and left us with such a wonderful impression of the graciousness and hospitality we experienced in Spain. Overall, we had a fantastic experience at W Barcelona. Beautiful location, unforgettable views, great atmosphere, excellent food and drinks, and most importantly, exceptional service. We would definitely stay here again the next time we visit Barcelona. Highly recommended — and a very special thank you to Stephanie for making our stay even more memorable!

I brought a friend to the bar as a treat before a concert. We ordered a cocktail that I had had before. They were slammed down in front of in small tumbler as we were told there was no ice. They cost around £10 each. Have had each of cocktails before here and this time they were warm and with no attempt of trying to make special eg garnish/ice/coaster. Then had to ask 3 times to pay bill while numerous staff stood chatting at end of bar. Never again, was so embarrassed after giving great reviews to my friends after being here a year ago.

Luca and Oscar in the bar are brilliant !!!

I am writing this review to bring light to a deeply frustrating and discriminatory experience I had at the entrance of the rooftop event at W Barcelona. When I arrived, I was stopped by a host who rudely informed me that I could not enter wearing flip-flops due to the dress code. I respected the venue’s policy, left, and went out of my way to change into a pair of heels. However, once I was admitted upstairs, I was shocked to see that a large number of guests were wearing flip-flops and sneakers throughout the venue. The most concerning part was the clear pattern: every single guest wearing casual footwear was white. As a Black woman, I was singled out, spoken to disrespectfully, and forced to adhere to a strict policy that was completely ignored for non-Black guests. This selective enforcement of rules based on race is completely unacceptable, especially for a prominent global luxury brand. Standing at the door enforcing rules on Black patrons while turning a blind eye to white patrons doing the exact same thing is blatant discrimination. Management needs to address the behavior of their door staff immediately and ensure that all guests are treated with equal respect and fairness regardless of their skin color. I expect better from W Barcelona and will be escalating this experience to Marriott corporate.
