We stayed here for 3 days in mid May and booked a 1 bedroom suite which came with lounge access. The room was spacious and comfortable with the sitting area was separated from the bedroom and the bathroom was accessible from both areas. The bathroom had a tub separate from the shower and the toilet area had a bidet as well. The real stand out in my mind was the lounge experience. The breakfast served in the lounge is a sit down affair where you can choose cooked to order dishes along with access to a very extensive buffet. There are snacks and drinks available all day long and in the early evening, hot and cold tapas along with wine, beer and (make your own) cocktails as well as a selection of sweets. The service at the hotel was attentive and responsive. The rooftop restaurant is definitely worth visiting. The food was lovely but the view was unbeatable. It was a very pleasant experience. The hotel also has a Michelin star restaurant, Quirat, although we didn’t try it. The location was convenient to the Montjuic area (magic fountain), Placa de Espanya, and the Anella Olympia. Finally, I want to thank two specific staff members: Guillem, the lounge host, and Marc, the concierge. Marc really helped up very quickly when we had a slight emergency! Highly recommend!

Hotel was great and spacious away from the typical big crowds. Rooms where large and spacious. It was a great start to our vacation. Our room was not ready even though I had emailed we would be arriving early is about the only issue we had especially since we paid extra for connecting rooms. As a Platinum Elite member at every other IHG property we got connecting rooms for free and on top of that our rooms were ready even though we were there early, I dont think I would have been upset if I didnt have to pay an upcharge. Besides that a great stay, thank you to Laura and Pax for trying to get our room to us and calling and helping with a couple of our other IHG Reservations. Rooms and beds are excellent, taxis are plentiful. Close enough to get to all the locations with ease. Definately would consider staying here again. I will not take off a rating point due to the issue with the room not being ready, I know its just a bonus if its ready on time but waiting 3 hours after a long US flight was LONG lol. We did not eat at the hotel so cant comment on that. The roof top bar is nice to take a break grab a drink after a long day.

The best things about this hotel is the room and most of the staff. The visit didn’t start well. Using their central booking site, I reserved two rooms and requested that they should be adjacent but not necessarily communicating. For the three nights accommodation I paid a little over €1700 including breakfast. An instant confirmation was issued. The day before we were due to arrive, a welcome email was received but this showed only 3 guests were expected. Our original confirmations showed 4 guests. A phone call to customer service quickly confirmed we had adjacent rooms for 4 people. On arrival at the hotel I was given keys for one twin on the second floor and one double on the first. It took almost 30 minutes to remedy this and we were taken to two adjacent rooms on the second floor. We well all unimpressed with the delay. The rooms were spacious and well appointed and importantly clean. Breakfast was a large buffet with omelettes and scrambled or fried eggs ordered from your waiter included. Poached eggs or eggs Benedict carried a surcharge. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful. The swimming pool was disappointing. This is not a resort hotel nut the pool was a glass tank and the water was 1m deep throughout. It must have measured 15m by 5m. Not very big. The view of Barcelona was spectacular. The rooftop restaurant was good, as was the bar. The location is ok. It is not situated in the best region of the city but it is very near Montjuïc park and its magic fountain which our two teenagers enjoyed enormously. The biggest problem we has was a pair of gold earrings disappeared from our bedroom, when my wife was stupidly enough not return them to our safe before going out.
