About the Hotel

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.

Reviews for Hotel Sofia

Nice hotel, great location

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 days ago

Friendly staff, amazing service. The only disadvantage was the cot for kid - so my kid refused to sleep there, and it was easy for him to climb out, so he slept with us in a bed. But that’s solo my kids problem the rest was great.

Excellent hotel, poor lifts, very expensive drinks, but otherwise great.

Stayed here on a conference, so had 2 full days in the conference facilities and 3 nights. Hotel is generally excellent. It’s a bit of a way out of town, but adjacent to Nou Camp and also on Avenue Diagonal which is a large road with lots of shops and restaurants on it, all the way into the city centre. So nearby are even chains like Five Guys, and shopping centres. Rooms very good and very modern with an art deco touch. Tech includes smart lighting and electronic shades. Very quiet in room and good bed. Very nice communal areas. Staff very nice and friendly. Fantastic rooftop bar. A few negatives; - Lift situation is poor, there are just not enough of them, particularly with a conference on. - The swimming pool didn’t open until 10am- why? Would have liked a swim at 8. - Drinks were very, very expensive, two pretty standard G&Ts cost me 35 euro which was ridiculous. But overall very good and nearly 5 stars from me.

Great hotel in a good location in Barcelona

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Very comfortable stay at the Grand Hyatt. Staff was excellent and very helpful, and the food was very good especially at the new restaurant on the rooftop. Location was great, a little far from downtown proper but very close to the metro and easy to get around. My only complaint is that the hallways are very loud, there is not really any carpeting in the hallways so noise carries very well. Also the windows were very dirty. Other than that, excellent stay.

Wonderful breakfast!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

Recent family stay during renaming to Grand Hyatt. Breakfast was a standout with a wide variety of Spanish and international fare. Look for the honey direct from the hive! Much appreciation to Anna who helped us multiple times. She always greeted us with a smile and took care to ask about our activities of the day.

Outstanding Service

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

Personnel at the Grand Hyatt performed well-above expctations--friendly, effieint, knowledgeable--and surprisingly delightful. Then quality of the hotel itself is superb, but the employees are even better.
