The hype
Travelers rave about the rooftop views and modern design, but often mention the service can feel a bit transactional.
Hotel SB Glow **** Sup
$150-250/ nuit
Réservez si You want a sleek, modern base in Barcelona's tech district with a rooftop pool that rivals the best in the city.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- The rooftop infinity pool with direct views of the iconic Torre Glòries
- Technogym-equipped fitness center with a sauna and hammam included
- Located in the 22@ district, a calmer alternative to the chaotic Gothic Quarter
En bref : A glossy, Instagram-ready hotel that feels more like a tech headquarters than a cozy Spanish posada.
Évalué par @Thirtytwentysix : I got a room upgrade and the view of Torre Glòries was absolutely to die for. The vegan amenities saved my life—I forgot my toothbrush and they had everything! Waking up to that skyline is a dream.
