Spectacular Hotel to enjoy a magnificent City
We are the Uribe Fernández family from Mexico City. We stayed at the W Barcelona Hotel from Tuesday, July 28, 2026, to Friday, July 31, 2026, to wrap up a quite special family trip we took to endearing Spain. And the truth is, we could not have had a better ending to our trip. I consider that there are not enough words to describe how well we had it at the W Barcelona Hotel. Certainly the hotel is expensive, but I estimate that it is worth it, and achieving this is difficult because hotels with these costs evidently have much higher demands from their guests. The rooms are unparalleled with indescribable views of both the city of Barcelona and the Mediterranean Sea. The modern architecture and decoration of the building are spectacular, totally in tune with the magnificent architectural line of Barcelona and forming an iconic part of the city's current skyline. And the Barceloneta beach next to the hotel is beautiful, ideal for swimming and doing multiple water activities, and mind you, we arrived from a country like Mexico, famous for its beautiful beaches. The food at the "Fire" and "Salt" restaurants was simply delicious. I highly recommend the "Corvina" dish at the "Fire" restaurant, a true delicacy.
But the most remarkable thing for us was the human warmth of all the hotel staff. They truly managed to make us feel like Barcelona was our own city, one to which we will always long to return to enjoy again. Personally, I will never forget many of the most emotional moments I have had in my life, which had the W Barcelona Hotel as their setting.
I would like to emphasize the welcome, good treatment, cordial attention, and great warmth that we received at all times at the beautiful "Salt" restaurant, especially from Sofía, Camila, and María, and from the young man, Alberto.
Sofía and Camila in particular had unparalleled gestures toward our family, specifically by managing on their own initiative to ensure my parents had a 55th wedding anniversary that they will never forget.
Our special thanks to Sofía and Camila for that.
Many thanks to all the staff at the W Barcelona Hotel for having made us spend some unforgettable days in their city and for having managed to make us feel like Barcelona was our own.
Sofía and Camila, if at any point you happen to read this message, I tell you that through this post I am responding to the heartfelt words you directed to us at the moment of our departure, which I could no longer answer because at that instant I was overcome with emotion, and now I tell you that for the "Uribe Fernández" family it was a privilege to share a little moment of our history with you, and it will always be a dream to have the honor of returning to enjoy a city as magnificent, spectacular, and beautiful as Barcelona, and if destiny so decides, to be able to spend time with you again.
Definitely a spectacular hotel to fully enjoy a magnificent city.

Discriminatory Entry Policy and Unacceptable Racial Double Standards
I am writing this review to bring light to a deeply frustrating and discriminatory experience I had at the entrance of the rooftop event at W Barcelona.
When I arrived, I was stopped by a host who rudely informed me that I could not enter wearing flip-flops due to the dress code. I respected the venue’s policy, left, and went out of my way to change into a pair of heels. However, once I was admitted upstairs, I was shocked to see that a large number of guests were wearing flip-flops and sneakers throughout the venue.
The most concerning part was the clear pattern: every single guest wearing casual footwear was white. As a Black woman, I was singled out, spoken to disrespectfully, and forced to adhere to a strict policy that was completely ignored for non-Black guests.
This selective enforcement of rules based on race is completely unacceptable, especially for a prominent global luxury brand. Standing at the door enforcing rules on Black patrons while turning a blind eye to white patrons doing the exact same thing is blatant discrimination. Management needs to address the behavior of their door staff immediately and ensure that all guests are treated with equal respect and fairness regardless of their skin color. I expect better from W Barcelona and will be escalating this experience to Marriott corporate.

Five dream days
We spent five dream days at the W. We had a corner suite on the 22nd floor and the view was spectacular. The beach club is quite crowded, it's hard to get a spot after 9AM. The pool is great and the service is impeccable.
I would like to highlight the involvement of the customer service department. We had a slight technical noise problem from a motor in the floor's air conditioning system. The room manager, Ms. Flavia, came personally to observe and resolve it quickly and efficiently. Subsequently, she systematically checked on our well-being in addition to several gestures of loyalty. Thanks to her.
I can't wait to go back.
(however, the prices are on par with the hotel ;) )
