Rough Guide Star
"Open-plan designer rooms have fantastic views through floor-to-ceiling windows, and facilities are first-rate."
Michelin Guide "This hotel designed by Ricardo Bofill is located in the city's port area. It comprises of two glass bui ldings: one a cube, the other a huge sail rising impressively above the Mediterranean."
Concierge "At 26 stories high, architect Ricardo Bofill's glass-clad, sail-shaped W Barcelona hotel is a real head-turner... The most beach-minded of all of Barcelona's hotels."
Fodor's "Features throughout the hotel, such as the infinity-edge WET pool, a Bliss spa, and the Whatever/Whenever Service, add to the lush trappings." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Popularly known as the Hotel Vela (the sail hotel) for its billowing form, this sumptuous five-star option enjoys unparalleled sea views."
Star Service "It raises eyebrows with its colorful, cutting-edge style and boisterous built-in social scene. This place makes quite a splash among well-heeled, young gallivanters." Full review
Gayot "With a Bliss Spa, a SWEAT fitness center and a WET outdoor heated pool, this destination is rife with signature features of the W hotel chain."

Frommer's "The staff is friendly in the extreme, and if you're feeling peckish the contemporary, industrial-chic Piscolabis restaurant offers innovative tapas and nouveau Catalan dishes." Full review
Concierge "Like the Hotel España, the Praktik Rambla is another once-beautiful old mansion that has been given a design makeover."

Avoid interior rooms—they're smaller and almost devoid of natural light.
Insight Guides "An amazingly stylish, fairly new hotel, making the most of the building’s modernista features but mixed with fresh, clean design."
DK Eyewitness "Original details, such as beautiful tiled floors and woodwork, have been preserved alongside modern amenities. Excellent central location."
