Stunnig view of the sea, the beach and the city..

The second W Hotel established in Europe is the one of Barcelona: W Barcelona opened its doors in October 2009 and one can say that it has already reached the reputation of its famous predecessors of the Starwood Group… Called the Sail, this building designed by the Master Ricardo Bofill is ideally located on the beach, on the entry of the port, in the district of Barceloneta.

 

Located on the beachfront in the Barceloneta area of Barcelona, W Hotel is, since its opening, the new icon of the city. Could you imagine a kind a sail, set on the sea at the entrance to the Port of Barcelona? A great design from catalan architect Ricardo Bofill known for other projects in Barcelona like the Diagonal Mar renovation, the Olympic Village apartments or more lately the magistral Terminal 1 at Barcelona airport. W Barcelona, popularly known as the Hotel Vela (Sail Hotel) is part of the Starwood hotels group, that is to say that we are here talking about a luxury and highend hotel. The favourite hotel of the F1 pilots..With 473 guest rooms, including 67 suites, with endless sea and city views "W" is the favourite hotel of the F1 pilots during the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Spain.If you like F1 your better book there during the 3 days show..

 

Rated 8.6 by Booking, 4.4/5 by Google "W" is not only the favourite hotel of F1 pilots by also one of our recommended hotels by the sea in Barcelona.People enjoy luxuriously comfortable slip into this urban oasis by the beach and its unobstructed views of the Mediterranean Sea.You are in the Barceloneta district, that is to say at walking distance of the historic city center, points of interest, shops and best restaurants. You went to stay around? Enjoy 3 hotel restaurants: Bravo24 by Michelin-star chef Carles Abellán, Wave or Salt restaurants. And 3 hotel bars : Eclipse, W lounge and Wet Bar for a fresh tropical cocktail by the pool.We recommend also Pez Vela restaurant by Tragaluz group.. Easy to find it's just on the beach at the entrance of W. Find more restaurants in the Barceloneta on our Where to eat guide.

As a loyal Starwood customer, having spent over 1000 nights at their properties in the past decade, I was disappointed by my recent stay in Barcelona. Despite its name, the hotel lacks the quality and service associated with the brand. The furnishings were worn and unkempt, giving off a less than desirable impression. The hotel's change in ownership, now under Marriott, has brought about a shift in culture, where the focus seems to be more on profits rather than providing a satisfactory experience for guests. Overall, I would not recommend this hotel or any other under the Marriott or Bonvoy name. I will be seeking alternative accommodations for my future travels.

During our 6-day stay in Barcelona, we were blown away by the beauty and perfect location of our hotel. Honestly, we could have spent our entire trip without even leaving the premises. We were lucky enough to meet some truly wonderful staff members who made our stay unforgettable. One standout was Francisco, who gave us some of the best bar recommendations. We also loved spending time with Eudra and Jenni, who were always so pleasant and welcoming. And let's not forget Anne, who kept us coming back to Coye. The team at Noxe, Carla, Liam, and Louise, were also amazing and we loved seeing them there. Needless to say, we can't wait to come back here.

Upon arrival, we were met with a surprising lack of professionalism from the front desk staff. 😤 Despite our room being cancelled without any prior notice, their attitude was aggressive and unapologetic. 😠 It was only when a room later became available that we were given one, making their claim of being fully booked false. 🙄 No effort was made to rectify the situation and they showed no concern for our satisfaction as guests. 🤨 In the end, they simply blamed reservations being off for the day. 😒 Needless to say, my stay was a major letdown and did not meet the usual standards associated with this hotel chain. 💔 My name is Ahmed Abouelela and I stayed in room 1006.

The room was 🔥, we had a gorgeous room on a high floor with an 🤩 view. However, we had some 🚨 issues that put a damper on our stay. Our room was 💸 charged incorrectly and getting a refund for the fraudulent charges was a 🕵️‍♀️. Thankfully, management 👏 helped us and we eventually got a refund, but it was a hassle of 🥊 and 📞/📧. Sadly, it has left a bitter taste about the hotel. I wouldn't 🛏️ here again when there are so many other fabulous hotels in Barcelona.
