Modern and sophisticated, this hotel is located in the heart of the Raval, one of Barcelona’s most vibrant and modern neighborhoods.
I love the rooftop terrace with the 360º views on the 10th floors. It’s very striking.
It’s an ideal place to spend the weekend with friends or as a couple. By the way, the staff is very welcoming and the brunch is unbeatable.
It is the new hotel of the Barceló group. Barceló Raval is a big hotel that is still half-way finished. Its structure dominates La Rambla del Raval.
The building has the shape of a can but the interior is very nice and modern. There are 182 rooms and 4 suites furnished like mini flats for people staying for quite some time and tired of hotels without comfort. It is very modern, with internet and a flat-screen TV, even an iPod charger in all rooms.
It is one of the last hotels of the group and they wanted it to be of the best, putting small Nespresso machine for examples. Upstairs there is a bar with an incredible 360º view of the city. The hotel also has a meeting room, a swimming-pool and a gym to relax after a day of tourism.
My boyfriend and I stayed only one night in that hotel but it was great! I have to admit the area is not one of the safest in the city, in the middle of El Raval, but the building and the infrastructure are no doubt worth it for the modernity and the contrast with the aesthetics of the neighborhood.
If you like architecture and interior design, it is a good choice since you will enjoy every detail (large room, Nespresso in the room, design furniture)... Amazing!
I also recommend the restaurant if you are good gourmets. And if you go in the summer, you have to go to the terrace, where you will be able to enjoy some spectacular views of the whole skyline of Barcelona while having a good cocktail.
The structure and the interior of the hotel are spectacular. It is located in a privileged area, in the very center of Barcelona. No one going to this hotel should miss out on the tapas and appetizer served in the B Lounge, especially the hamburgers in La Raval Burger. By the way, the prices are very good.
