Faultless stay, top service, new venue
Pros:

Intercontinental Barcelona a rather new (opened in 2021) and well located venue particularly good and well-serviced

Only 7 floors, it has an intimacy flair, that few IC have. The beel boy came my way to take my suitcase when I arrives and as an IHG Ambassador upon entry, I was taken to the lounge area for my check-in.
The hotel looks brand new, both posh, modern in local colors, copper and bronze.
Check in was super professional, Joan was attentative and knowledgeable, informed me of all perks.

First set in room #649, a deluxe type with sofa and large bed, the room has a nespresso machine and a nice view on Montjuic, due to some loud music coming from the other building, the lounge staff decided to move me across the door and
Upgraded to a Jr Suite on 6th floor, #650.
3 areas, bed room behind a sliding door, a nice living room in 2 spaces, and a huge bathroom divided as well between toilets / tub and shower / sink areas. Amenities are present, as per new IC standard, with wall fitted dispensers (in the name of "sustainabiliy" over luxury experience) gone the days of Agraria goods.

Room was totally sound proof, mattress and sheets are of the highest standard, like in most IC's, I had a very good night.

Nice bonus, it has a small terrace with fantastic view on the city.

Do not miss going on the 7th floor terrace, even out of season, the views on Barcelona at 270 degrees are incredible.
That terrace has an outdoor tiny pool, it was open in January when I stayed, but I made use of the fantastic spa, which is free for Ambassador members. The spa has a 10m heated pool with different stations and showers, and being almost alone i could do few laps in the hot water
The lounge on 1st floor is small, but very comfy and serves tapas in the evening till 7pm and alcohol till 23h00.
In the morning the breakfast is served there too, awesome buffet and a la carte dishes.

I tried the Arrel restaurant for diner, very nice menu, prices rather acceptable for a 5 stars, the fish was well cooked, full of flavors and well presented.
The hotel has as well a 1 star michelin restaurant called Quirat, but they serve only multi course diners in the evening, prices around 110€ pp, very reasonable.

The staff was very dedicated throughout the entire venue, from lounge to turndown service.
This venue is the embodiment of IC, definitely one of the best I have stayed in around Europe this past 10 years. Highly recommended, in particular for the service level and the staff, the quality of the rooms and the location a.stone throw from Plazza d Espana, avenida Para lel, and 2kms to the beach front

A superb business hotel, large rooms, and awesome staff!
Pros:

I went twice last year, the first was also for business but I had a more personal experience as I travelled alone and really only had one meeting. But regardless, I loved this hotel. I love the size of the rooms, even the standard being large. The rooftop is a vibe day and night, and the views over Barcelona are spectacular. The pool is just small enough to never feel like too many people can swim with you (I hate overcrowded pools) and the martini's are (dangerous) great! :-)

The staff are superb and I think this is what really made my stays memorable, I did not encounter one bad attitude or unhelpful person the entire time, across both trips. Every single staff member from the doorman to the waiters to the barmen to concierge were phenomenal, so helpful, so polite and genuine! Never forced hospitality.

This hotel is also so well located (200m walk) to the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc which was a bucketlist tick for me. It is the main feature of a complex of fountains, cascades and pools on Avinguda de la Reina Maria Cristina at the National Palace and is a MUST SEE!

The best of the best of the best part for me though, was the lunches we had at Arrel Restaurant on the ground floor. Hands down the best food I had in Barcelona the entire time I was there, and the most delightful waiters who served us with jokes and smiles every day, simply the best!

Disappointing. Not up to standard.
Pros:

Second day. Disappointed. Not up to standard. Noisy renovations in building. Decor outdated and stale. Had I not prepaid I would have left. Simply not what one would expect from an Intercontinental. Bland and functional but not much more.
