Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 21 October 2026 · How we review hotels
This modern property is best for travellers seeking premium comfort near Passeig de Gràcia. Notable features include high-quality marble bathrooms with double sinks, a panoramic rooftop bar, and a daily breakfast of local and international dishes. Drawbacks include a compact rooftop pool area and limited natural light in some guest rooms.
Guests score it 9.1 out of 10 — the average across the 17 hotels we list in Barcelona is 8.9.
- Situated just steps from Passeig de Gràcia, guests have immediate access to high-end shopping, dining, and architectural landmarks like Casa Batlló.
- The Azimuth rooftop terrace offers panoramic views of the city skyline, providing a sophisticated setting for evening cocktails without leaving the property.
- The rooftop dipping pool is relatively small and can feel crowded during peak summer hours, though the surrounding lounge area remains a comfortable space to unwind.
- Due to the historic layout of the surrounding Eixample district, some lower-level rooms face interior courtyards, resulting in less natural daylight during the day.
