<title>Barcelona: Mandarin Oriental Barcelona Is Sticking to Its Opening Date This Thursday </title>
<link>http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/11/23/94021/654</link>
<description>&#x3C;![CDATA[&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;img src=&#x22;http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/21888/mandarin_barcelona.jpg&#x22; class=&#x22;top&#x22;&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Well here&#x26;#146;s a nice surprise to start the week. Despite our fears, the &#x3C;a href=&#x22;http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Mandarin+Oriental+Barcelona/ian/333047&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;b&#x3E;Mandarin Oriental&#x3C;/b&#x3E;&#x3C;/a&#x3E; Barcelona is going to open on schedule this Thursday. &#x3C;p&#x3E;When we say schedule, of course, we mean delayed schedule. The hotel was originally down to open 29 October, but when the date came and went, it was pushed back to 26 November. Although we weren&#x26;#146;t so sure it was a goer, given that the website &#x3C;a href=&#x22;http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/10/29/122752/97/hotels/Mandarin_Oriental_Barcelona_Will_Now_Open_on_November_26th&#x22;&#x3E;wasn&#x26;#146;t taking rezzies&#x3C;/a&#x3E; until 15 December. &#x3C;p&#x3E;But hallelujah! We just called the hotel and spoke to a delightful man who told us that it is indeed opening Thursday, although plebs like us would not be welcome &#x26;#150; it&#x26;#146;s a private inauguration and opening do.

First the &#x3C;a href=&#x22;http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/W+Barcelona/local/1420&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;b&#x3E;W&#x3C;/b&#x3E;&#x3C;/a&#x3E; pushed back its opening date no less than &#x3C;a rhef=&#x22;http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/1/5/13293/82431/hotels/The_Giant_Windsail_in_Barcelona_Will_Become_a_W_Hotel&#x22;&#x3E;three times&#x3C;/a&#x3E;, and now it&#x26;#146;s the turn of the &#x3C;a href=&#x22;http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/mandarin%20oriental%20hotels&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;b&#x3E;Mandarin Oriental&#x3C;/b&#x3E;&#x3C;/a&#x3E;. &#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;a href=&#x22;http://www.sceneadvisor.com/hotels/barcelona/mandarin-oriental-barcelona-1793&#x22;&#x3E;Last time&#x3C;/a&#x3E; we checked, the hotel was due to open on &#x3C;b&#x3E;October 29&#x3C;/b&#x3E;. But when we hadn&#x27;t heard any fanfare today, and checked out the hotel&#x26;#146;s website to find the calendar showing &#x26;#147;no availability&#x26;#148;, we smelt a rat. &#x3C;p&#x3E;So we just called Mandarin Oriental&#x26;#146;s PR people, and they told us the hotel is scheduled to open on &#x3C;b&#x3E;26 November&#x3C;/b&#x3E;. So that&#x26;#146;s delay number one. But we&#x26;#146;re expecting a delay number two,</description>

But then that was after opening weekend, nearly a month ago. Is it time to give it another chance? <p>The <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/travel/europe/24hour-room-service-w-barcelona-spain-1808108.html">Independent</a> reviewed it this weekend and, going by the review, it'd seem the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/10/5/85632/0392/hotels/W_Barcelona_Still_Pretty_But_Needs_Serious_Work_on_The_Vibe">&#147;abysmal&#148; service</a> and &#147;no edgy people&#148; may have been teething problems. <p>The hotel is &#147;nothing if not striking&#148;, they say, and the pool is &#147;bracingly cool&#148; (we're assuming that's in a literal sense - it's nearly November, after all). The views from the 26th-floor Eclipse bar, meanwhile, are &#147;bewitching&#148;. ]]>                </description>

<title>Barcelona: MUJI Design Turns Barcelona Apartments Into &#x27;Whotells&#x27;</title>
<link>http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/10/16/115241/79</link>
<description>&#x3C;![CDATA[&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;img src=&#x22;http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/Whotell1.jpg&#x22; class=&#x22;top&#x22;&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;We may love us some hotels, but research into accommodations in a destination usually includes looking at alternatives like temporary stay apartments as well, especially when we sit tight in the same city for over a week. Contemporary design usually wins us over as well, since isn&#x27;t the point of paying so much to stay in a nice place to not be surrounded by your usual clutter? For this reason, we totally know where we&#x27;re headed next time we&#x27;re in &#x3C;b&#x3E;Barcelona&#x3C;/b&#x3E;: The &#x3C;b&#x3E;MUJI Whotells&#x3C;/b&#x3E; buildings in the Raval, Eixample and Barceloneta quarters. &#x3C;p&#x3E;The collection of temporary stay apartments, managed and outfitted &#x3C;b&#x3E;like hotel suites gone native&#x3C;/b&#x3E;, occupy refurbished designer apartment buildings and offer 1,2 and 3-bedroom apartments</description>

We really hate to say this, but could it be that with all the hype around &#x3C;a href=&#x22;http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/W+Barcelona/local/1420&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;b&#x3E;W Barcelona&#x3C;/b&#x3E;&#x3C;/a&#x3E; and its foxy building, they forgot to work on the foxy W vibe? &#x3C;p&#x3E;Barcelona resident &#x3C;a href=&#x22;http://www.pulsobcn.wordpress.com&#x22;&#x3E;Pulso BCN&#x3C;/a&#x3E; alerted us to the fact that there could be a problem with his comment &#x3C;a href=&#x22;http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/10/1/92621/0555/hotels/The_W_Barcelona_is_Open_Tonight_But_The_Weekend_is_Booked&#x22;&#x3E;here&#x3C;/a&#x3E;. He stopped by on Thursday, which should have been banging, seeing as it was the first night, but although it had a nice-looking pool, he wasn&#x26;#146;t feeling it. &#x3C;b&#x3E;&#x26;#147;Maybe the W hipness is in crates stuck in Spanish customs,&#x26;#148;&#x3C;/b&#x3E; he reckons. On his &#x3C;a href=&#x22;http://twitter.com/PulsoBCN&#x22;&#x3E;Twitter&#x3C;/a&#x3E; feed he went further: &#x3C;b&#x3E;&#x26;#148;No glam opening, no edgy people, just a bunch of staffers running</description>
