Barcelona hotel advice - mini honeymoon

[Ade07]

Looking for some Barcelona hotel recommendations. It's for a mini honeymoon in March, we'll go further afield later in the year.
Really looking for a 4/5 star with spa and pool facilities in a good central location.

We stayed here

Right by the station and good bus routes, nice 4* place and amazing views from the restaurant on the 23rd floor.

A friend has recommended Hotel 1898. Anyone stayed here?

Hi, I run an international events business (using 4/5 star hotels) and also lived in Barcelona for a year.
I loved http://www.hotelmiramarbarcelona.es/?l=en, set on Montjuic it offers something a little different. Take a look at their website and see if you like it. I think the seclusion makes this a more romantic place to relax.

More centrally, I really liked the http://www.pullman-barcelona-skipper.com/en/index.... a nice pool right on the front, modern rooms. Maybe slightly better as an event venue (lots of meeting space, but that is primarily in the basement but mid-week may be busy with events).

I´ve just come back from living in BCN for 3 1/2 years. The Torre is OK for a couple of nights and the breakfast on the top floor is great. It´s about €90 including brekkie. It´s right by Sants which helps, but as I stay there most weeks when I go back, it´s not what I would call romantic.

The Renaissance is quite good and right by Passeig de Gracia. You´re away from Las Ramblas, but close enough to the good restaurants in Lëxaimple.

The Wave is good as is the arts, but both are pricey... you´ll need a good deal to get less than €250 a night.

I´m not a fan of the Miramar, but the location is brilliant as I love Mont Juic and the views are great

He said Honeymoon. His chances of romance will be long gone

I can thoroughly recommend this hotel - both the accommodation and location. It's a great city - enjoy:

You have to stay at the W Hotel, stunning views, quiet pool with table/lounger service

I stayed at H1898 last year when I visited Barcelona. It's quite a nice hotel and perfect location on La Rambla. Nice roof terrace and the restaurant recommendations for dinner were great. Rooms were nice if not a little small and dark (not huge amount of natural light getting in) but I think we went for the cheapest room iirc.

Have stayed here too, last October. I can't argue with this review. Location and the roof terrace made it ideal for what we wanted.

Thanks for all the replies guys, will do some more research on the recommendations you've mentioned.

Yes, stayed here several times, very nice hotel right on the Ramblas. Nunez y navarro hotels are generally good, especially the 3 star Hotel Jazz near the old University. The Hotel Olivia on Plaza Catalunya (4star, very minimalist design) and Hotel Majestic (Classic 5 star) on Passeig de Gracia are worth checking out too.

A bit off topic - but what did you do in Barcelona?

I'd agree.
I've been to Barcelona a number of times and the W has been the nicest hotel I've stayed in.

Hotel and rooms are stunning.

I think the standard room rate is circa €500 a night.
