Very good .. Not Exceptional
Pros:

Overall, we had a pleasant stay at the InterContinental Barcelona. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and all the essential amenities are provided. The breakfast buffet is good and offers enough variety, although I would not consider it exceptional.

Service was generally very good, though not particularly memorable. We arrived late to the restaurant on our first day, and while some staff members were very helpful, others seemed less welcoming. To be fair, we arrived close to the end of service, so I understand their position. The restaurant supervisor, however, was kind enough to make sure we had the basic items we needed, which we appreciated.

Cleanliness was acceptable but could be improved. I noticed some dirt on the carpet in the room, and the in room coffee machine stopped working after the second use.

Overall, the hotel delivers a comfortable stay with good service and solid facilities. While there were a few minor issues, I did not have any major complaints and would consider staying here again.

Cons:

Cleanliness was acceptable but could be improved. I noticed some dirt on the carpet in the room, and the in room coffee machine stopped working after the second use.

Great hotel, Club lounge and staff
Pros:

We had a great 2 night stay here over the UK early May bank holiday. IHG Diamond Elite so used suite upgrade voucher which worked well with our 16 year old with us, giving us our own bedrooms and shared Jack and Jill style bathroom. The suite was well appointed and had a balcony, although the weather wasn’t great so we didn’t use it. Also, the suite was on the 1st floor so no view, just looking into the street below. For the first time there was no in room welcome drink/food but it’s not necessary due to the lounge offerings.

We have been to many Intercontinentals and this is the most modern, the design is outstanding. The Club lounge is one of the best in terms of drink offerings, with alcohol including Moët champagne available all day. It also has a large breakfast room and great buffet which is closed off when the service ends. Breakfast staff were very professional, À la carte and coffee options are included. See photos for Club information. The lounge just misses having a view/outdoor area. Thanks to Fernando and Guilleme for their excellent attention.

The rooftop area is also lovely, we were able to use the bar but not the pool due to the weather. The location is Ok, we just used Ubers to get around but you do have MNAC, fountain show and Arenas close by.

We used the indoor spa circuit which was a lovely experience, this is chargeable though a discount is given to Diamond.

The most enjoyable Hotel 🏨 in Barcelona
Pros:

The reason of rated 5 of 5 is because this Hotel has a high level of Customer Service. Everything is perfect from the reception to the rooms, pool, bar and restaurant.

This was the second time we stayed at this impressive Hotel. Both times we have an amazing stay. Super enjoyable.

Our suite room was super big and very tidy and clean.

The breakfast is very organized serving plenty of options, good selection of fruits, honey, cheese and hot food. The service is provide by a great dream team Breakfast - Mark, Mora and Fiorella. I would love this review reach the all team I really appreciate their time doing a 5 star service those days I was there.

The pool area is absolutely stunning with a beautiful full view or ever better a panoramic view to the all city. The service again counting with a high skill of a professional staff Guillermo
Jordi and Tiago. We’ve stayed by the pool everyday and also for dinner enjoying live music great singers.

The only thing it could be better is provide more equipments to the gym I have to use outside gym as the hotel gym is very basic and it has potencial to make it better. For the level of the hotel it should have more machines as the other guests commented that is very basic for the level of the hotel.

For last and not least we’ve found painful to get towels at the pool area. The scheme to give tickets doesn’t work. We were by the pool first day not ticket provide by the reception for towels as we were waiting for the room. I don’t know the reason for that. We have to get ticket by the reception and back to the pool after applying all the creams. I advice the hotel with they control towels the best way is deposit € for each room at the reception and give the money back when checkout. Making guests go downstairs to get towel is not very nice again it doesn’t the level of the hotel.

Saying that we are planning to come back in September hope this review could make difference. We really enjoy the Hotel again and again 💛❤️🌟

The best place to stay in Barcelona — and we mean it
Pros:

Four nights at the InterContinental Barcelona, and we would have gladly stayed four more. Everything about this hotel delivered, from the moment we checked in to the moment we reluctantly checked out.
Breakfast was excellent — a great way to start each day before heading out to explore the city. The location is spot on: well-connected, convenient, and perfectly placed for both sightseeing and dining out in the evening.
But the real showstopper is the rooftop bar. The views, the atmosphere, the drinks — it all comes together beautifully. We ended up there every single evening, and honestly it never got old. It’s the kind of place that makes you fall a little more in love with Barcelona with every visit.
Service throughout was seamless and the overall feel of the hotel is sophisticated without being cold. It’s a place that genuinely takes care of you.
If you’re planning a trip to Barcelona and wondering where to base yourself — stop wondering. The InterContinental is simply the best place to stay in the city.

Excellent stay, would return
Pros:

Excellent stay. The rooms are very large, modern, clean and functional. Breakfast is excellent with great selection of Spanish hams and cold meats. The staff were friendly and knowledgable and we had a great check in with Luis. Excellent recognition of IHG and ambassador benefits.

Located a bit outside of the old city but plenty to explore on foot in the neighbourhood (botanical gardens, national gallery, Mont Juic). Public transport or walking to old quarter is very doable.

Would stay here again on next visit
