There are many rooms and much space for different presentations and meetings and the congress centre is located near a hotel and a tram station.

This place is getting old and the facilities reflect that. Power outlets in the main auditorium are not functional, the wifi is a bit flaky and the decor could do with sprucing up... But it does the job and a pretty decent job of it too, and you couldn't pick a better host city so if you're using this review to decide whether to book the venue or attend a conference here, hurry up and book already! Just don't stay in the adjoining hotel if you want to enjoy what Barcelona has to offer!

My 11 year old loves to cook, and saw this experience on someone else's Barcelona experience so had to give it a Try. I must confess, I was a bit skeptical my 6 year old would be into it, but Lucia and Cris made everyone in the group feel part of their "Paella chef" family. Between the constant wine poured, learning to appreciate the art of cooking, and THE MUSIC which added to the ambiance, this is def one of our favorite experiences in this whole trip.

They offer a wide variety of beverages and tapas, as well as tours. It may seem a bit touristy but honestly it's in the best way possible. It's the perfect place to begin your adventure if you've never visited Barcelona before and you're not sure where to start.

Our favorite place to stay ever. We both travel a fair amount for work in US. We have stayed in…read moresome very nice places for vacation but this is now our favorite. I think only six suites in whole place. Rooms are massive, more like two bedroom apartments. They are immaculate and modern with custom ceilings and designs everywhere. They prepare whatever you want for breakfast in your private kitchen which can be closed off so you can still be in bed. Our only mistake was not booking for longer as we tacked on at end of multi week trip. Next time we will come and stay here for two weeks.

More on the Oasis Spa in another review. While the location, as others mentioned, is far from city center, we found it worked for us. We went to Camp Nou area, the FC Barcelona Museum, and took taxis to other tourist spots around town. There is a Starbucks around the corner, laundry self-wash about ten minutes away, and several decent restaurants within easy walking distance. The restaurants inside (Impar, Philosofia, and Maymant - rooftop bar) were okay also - see other reviews. The AC worked well, it was quiet, and wifi was fine for us. Hotel was responsive via their Whatsapp line - they brought us requested items. Would stay again - particularly as Camp Nou stadium is completed.

Short Review: Excellent hotel to stay in Barcelona. Great…read morefood/restaurant options. Very upscale rooms with lots of amenities. Excellent service. Long Review: I stayed here for a business trip, and this hotel is perfect for that. It's in the more financial district of Barcelona and there is a metro stop located nearby. It's not too far from the airport either. Because it's an American hotel chain, you can expect the customs that you'd normally get from US hotels: staff greets you at the door, they provide so-if codes at check in, and give you a name of contact in case you need anything. The hotel has 3 places to eat - a cafe/coffee shop with traditional Spanish breakfast, a full lobby restaurant with free made-to-order options for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and a rooftop bar/restaurant with a 360 view of the city, two bars and options for both indoor and outdoor seating. Great fitness center. Large, comfortable rooms with nice walk/in showers. It's just a great place to stay while you're traveling. The only drawback is the location is not near the city center, so if you're looking to go there it's a good 35 minute ride on the metro or in a taxi. So if you don't mind being in the middle of the urban/bustling part of town, then this is a good choice.

Maps and schedules were posted everywhere, so it was very easy to find one's way around in this large complex. There were minimal permanent facilities (such as restrooms), so there were very long lines for toilets, but my understanding is that most events are supplemented with temporary facilities. As a music venue, it worked very well. The stages were spacious and had great sounds, as well as really good visual set ups.

When I come back to Barcelona, it is a no brainer to stay here again ! The food is also excellent. Zero complaints. It was perfection !! Plus love the cookies stocked in each room :)
