InterContinental Barcelona

Pros: • very good service in the reception and restaurant. • the breakfast was ok but nothing special. • the rooms are spacious and fairly comfortable. • the view from the roof top bar is impressive. Cons: • the service in the roof top bar is very poor. My wife and her friend struggled to be served on her first night and we gave up tonight. The frustrating thing is that the surly fella who appeared to be the manager refused to let us sit where we wanted and then led us to a table that his waiting staff didn’t seem to know existed. We could watch them (and the miserable manager) standing around doing the square root of nothing. • filling up the supplies for the coffee machine in your room once in a while wouldn’t go amiss. • the shower head in our room obviously hadn’t been cleaned in a while and the flow of water out of it was quite feeble as a result. The hotel is ok but nothing special - probably worth 4 out of 5. The rooftop bar should be its crowning glory but it lets the whole place down.

We stayed at the InterContinental Barcelona after disembarking from a 24 day transatlantic cruise in April of 2025. I have to say that this was the nicest and friendliest hotel I have ever stayed at in my five decades of traveling. Check-in was fast, easy, and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. We checked-in early without issue, although we had a short wait for the room to be ready. We spent that wait at the roof-top terrace/bar, and enjoyed the view of Barcelona. The room was well appointed and very comfortable and even provided a view of the Montjuïc Castle outside the window. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom had wonderful amenities, and had both a tub and shower. The best part of the hotel was the roof-top terrace and bar which also served food. The atmosphere was relaxing and we spent several hours just decompressing from our almost month-long travel. The night we were there, the InterMilan soccer team also stayed at the hotel, and the staff did an excellent job handling the crowd that was outside the hotel hoping to interact with the soccer players. We definitely will stay here if we ever visit Barcelona again!

I have stayed in Barcelona a few times over the years and used different hotels, all very enjoyable in their own right. When I return I can only see myself returning here though. The proximity of the hotel to the FC Barcelona game was a big advantage, there’s a main metro station a few minutes walk away and the absolutely outstanding way all of the people here treated my young son and I was just outstanding. We really appreciated their kindness and helpfulness, the hotel is spotless, there’s was literally no noise heard at all from outside or other rooms and the food was great too. So impressive, they can be proud of the entire package here and I can’t recommend the place enough

The most professional service and felt like we were eating art. A must try when in Barcelona! We got the 24K tasting and we were there for 3 hours yet it didn’t feel like it. We were cared for and great for a special occasion! Would highly recommend.

Thank you to the breakfast manager Marc and waitress Graciela for the exceptional service. She is doing a really great job with her positivity and great attitude in a professional service. The whole team is totally outstanding. Thank you!
