THE HOTEL
An avant-garde icon of stunning architecture, W Barcelona rises high above the Mediterranean in Spain's most dynamic and stylish city. Designed by world-famed architect Ricardo Bofill and located on the famed boardwalk La Barceloneta, the W Barcelona is unprecedented - a sensory explosion of entertainment, recreation, culinary delights, nightlife, and hospitality in an extra-ordinary setting.
The rooms, like the rest of the hotel, are masterpieces of stripped down, modern design. Every detail is achingly beautiful, but thoughtful - this is not design for design's sake, but the creation of genuinely breath-taking living spaces. There are a multitude of little touches to make every room special - signature W beds, ultra-plush W robes, exclusive Bliss Spa products, state-of-the-art entertainment systems and Munchie Boxes to name just a few.
Away from the rooms, the public spaces are amazing too. A whirlwind swirl of high-energy interiors, vivid design, cutting-edge technology and uniquely modern amenities come together to create bars, lounges and much more that cannot fail to set the pulse racing.
Spain is best visited in the springtime, when the temperatures are generally warm and comfortable. Autumn is equally comfortable, though less green and the landscapes are drier. July and August are very hot.
