W Barcelona

This hotel was gorgeous High standard Amazing views Great staff Caters for predominantly adults Beautiful rooms

We had a wonderful stay at a hotel that offers plenty of amenities and great facilities. We had beautiful weather in Barcelona, and the hotel was in a fantastic location. I loved it.

The Good: Spacious room and comfortable bedding. Fully stocked mini fridge and bar. In room coffee machine. Nice seating area. The staff were very helpful, friendly and courteous. Many options for dining within walking distance. The Bad: Hotel is under renovation and there is parking fees. The Bad

The W Barcelona offers a truly luxurious experience in an exceptional beachfront location, with breathtaking views of the sea. The room was spacious and elegant, featuring a very comfortable bed, excellent lighting, and floor-to-ceiling windows that allowed us to fully enjoy the view. The staff were professional, friendly, and attentive at all times. The rooftop restaurant was outstanding, and despite not having a reservation, the team kindly managed to accommodate us for dinner, which made the experience even more memorable. Although the hotel’s location by the beach is spectacular, reaching the city center can be slightly inconvenient due to limited public transport options. That said, the views, service, and overall atmosphere more than make up for it. Highly recommended for a luxury stay in Barcelona.

The hotel rooms and front desk staff are extremely nice but the hotel atmosphere is not great at all. I booked the hotel during MWC 2026 and they have a new ridiculous practice this year of front lobby security guards checking for room cards & not allowing my business clients into the building to wait for me in the lobby bar. They are forced to stand outside in the cold and cannot have a relaxing drink waiting until I return from a business dinner. I booked this hotel because it was great to host my clients and friends in a fun and relaxing environment in the past. It looks like that is truly in the past and I was told it is because Barcelona has experienced high crime rates in recent years and it was a decision by their Head of Security. Not sure what they are thinking as their bar sat empty and their business is dead. For that reason, I cannot use this hotel again for my MWC business trips and will need to find another friendlier and flexible hotel in the future. Very disappointing decision by Marriott management as in the evening it no longer feels like a nice hotel but a locked down compound. I sat and watched the security guard refuse well dressed people entry to the hotel as the 3 bartenders in their lobby bar chatted with each other while a DJ played music in a large empty room. Not a single customer in sight. Very bizarre policy and no longer a relaxing and fun place to stay.
