The Naked Truth About the W Barcelona
Does this count as an anti-view? With all the talk over its late opening, stonking views and questionable levels of service, you’d think you’d heard it all about the W Barcelona. Not so. A friend of ours stayed there a couple of weeks back, and returned with the revelation...

W Barcelona May Be Stylish, But Still Needs To Work On Service
Last time we looked, the W Barcelona wasn’t going down so well with its clients. But then that was after opening weekend, nearly a month ago. Is it time to give it another chance? The Independent reviewed it this weekend and, going by the review, it'd seem the “abysmal” service...

W Barcelona Celebrates Its New Bar...In London
You know how men are like buses – wait ages for one, then two turn up, blah blah blah? Seems like the same could be said for hotel parties. Because as well as the 10th birthday bash at the St Martins Lane Hotel last night, across town in Chelsea,...

The W Barcelona Has (Nearly) Popped Its Cork
When a ship gets launched, it gets a bottle of bubbly smashed on it. When it’s a hotel that happens to be built in the shape of a ship sail, it gets what we’re thinking is a lot more than a bottle of bubbly doled out to the people...

The Giant Windsail in Barcelona Will Become a W Hotel
In late 2009, visitors flying into Barcelona will see what looks to be a giant windsail on the coast right next to the entrance to the Port of Barcelona. Except this windsail is actually the W Hotel Barcelona scheduled to open on October 1, 2009. The W Hotel Barcelona...

Partner Reviews: W Barcelona

Incredible cocktails of red fruits and all kind of berries, strongly recommend to go there when the sun goes down. Además también hacen sushi, aunque aún no lo hemos probado...habrá que volver! -
Best hotel of the world!!!! -
La plaza de detras en invierno / primavera es un gran lugar de relax -
El servicio de la terraza es nefasto y maleducado. Poco profesional y no,adecuado para un hotel de este tipo. Mucha vela pero sin viento. -
Servicio nefasto en la terraza, sin respeto ni educación.
-
Lots of bi -
-
The Cosmopolitans are amazing here!! -
-
Great hotel, right on the water, but it's a long, long walk to anywhere. Cab drivers seem only to know it as la Hotel Vela. -
En verano tiene una de las terrazas más espectaculares de la ciudad para ir a tomar un algo (ambiente, música...) -
Pren una cervesa al bar, contempla les vistes al mar i a la ciutat, val la pena la passejada. El bar de la planta 26 no obre fins les 19.00 hores -
Let the hotel impress you. Don't forget to take a look at the pool. Even when it's raining -
Shopping mall accross the pier is open all days til nine pm. -
I love this bar :) -
Demolition!! -
Free Wifi in the lobby under the ID "Living Room" -
Glamour!!! -
Super recomendable, una copa son 10€ pero las vistas merecen la pena!!! Qué bonita es Barcelona at night! -
Free wifi in the lobby ! -
Have you tried amazing watermelon martinis up at Eclipse the bar from 26th floor?!have to! -
Try the Eclipse and the Koshiku cocktails... Amazing! -
Free WIFI at the lobby. -
Enorme hotel q se pasa la ley d costas por el forro, le priva d las olas a los surferos, le tapa la vista a los barceloneses, y sobretodo, indigna a los vecinos d la barceloneta. Un abuso. -
Delicious espresso's @ the W -
Essayez la sangria de cava, 8€ un must :) -
Désormais le meilleur hotel de Barcelone. Le bar Eclipse vaut le détour pour la vue de nuit sur Barcelone. Impossible de rentrer en short et/ou tongs. -

w barcelona -
Go to Eclipse bar after 7pm. Pricey drinks, priceless views. -
Great Hall with magnificent sea views. Perfect place to have a drink at night (it looks more a music bar than a hotel) in a modern atmosphere -
Entrando a la izquierda hay el bar Wave en el que se puede tomar cualquier cosa. Los precios son altos pero merece la pena pagar 5€ por un capuchino o un té ya que tiene unas vistas magnÃÂficas. -
-
Éclipse baron the top! Try the passionfruit Martini! -
Suban al bar del ultimo piso -
Try the gazpacho w the iberican ham
