Waarom mensen ervan houden

  • The 'Terrat' rooftop offers 360-degree views and Peruvian food by Gastón Acurio
  • Interiors by Patricia Urquiola are a stunning departure from typical hotel beige
  • Soundproofing is so effective it feels like a sensory deprivation tank

Snel Overzicht: A hyper-luxurious, modern fortress that feels more like an international design showroom than a Spanish hotel.

Beoordeeld door @codiscoordinatesI stayed here for a weekend and the rooftop pool is hands down my favorite spot in the city. The atrium architecture blew me away the second I walked in. It’s pricey, but for the location on Passeig de Gràcia and that spa, it’s 100% worth the splurge.


Gast die hier verbleef zei

The hype

Impeccable service and stunning design, but the price tag sets a bar that the small standard rooms sometimes struggle to clear.

Reality check

While the staff is usually flawless, isolated reports of missing personal items and 'confused' service suggest you should still use the in-room safe religiously.

  • You prioritize silence and sleep quality above all else
  • You love modern, avant-garde interior design (Patricia Urquiola)
  • You want to walk out the door and be inside a Gucci store immediately

Schoonmaak & Onderhoud

8.5
  • Housekeeping: Generally invisible and efficient twice-daily service, though rare reports of missed items exist.

Voordat je boekt

Goed om te weten

  • The hotel is located in a former bank building; the bar uses the old safety deposit boxes as decor.
  • The indoor pool is much larger (12m) than the rooftop one but is located in the basement.
  • You are steps away from Casa Batlló and La Pedrera.

Wat je mee moet nemen

  • Swimsuit for the rooftop (even if just for the photo op)
  • Dressy casual outfits (Barcelona dresses up for dinner)
  • Universal adapter (though the hotel usually provides them)

Kamer Genie

Beste keuzes

  • Boulevard Suite (for the iconic views of Casa Batlló)
  • Mandarin Junior Suite (good balance of space and layout)

Kamers om te vermijden

  • Deluxe Garden Room (lowest category, often dark and feels small)
  • Rooms near the elevator banks (occasional hallway noise)

Kamer Aanvraag Genie – kopiëren en plakken

I would appreciate a room on a higher floor facing the Boulevard for natural light. If a Boulevard view isn't available, please ensure I am not assigned a room directly adjacent to the elevator bank.

Tips van Insiders

  • Look up in Banker's Bar—the ceiling is made of the original safety deposit boxes from the building's bank days.

  • The 'Mimosa Garden' is a hidden courtyard that many guests miss; it's perfect for a quiet coffee away from the street.

  • Ask the concierge for 'skip-the-line' tickets to Casa Batlló across the street; they often have a direct line.

5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat

  • 💡The indoor pool is moody and dark—great for relaxing, bad for reading.

  • 💡The 'ramps' in the lobby are a signature design element but can be tricky in heels.

  • 💡Room service prices are eye-watering (think €30+ for a club sandwich).

  • 💡The scent in the lobby is a custom fragrance that you can actually buy in the spa.

  • 💡You might spot local celebrities at the Moments restaurant (2 Michelin stars).
