Bottom Line

Located in Garriga, a small town on the outskirts of Barcelona, the Gran Hotel Balneario Blancafort is a spa retreat ideal for travelers looking to escape the city. Surrounded by mountains, the property's grounds are nearly covered in all sorts of trees and plants to maintain a relaxing atmosphere. Rooms deliver French-inspired decor in a blue color scheme. Those looking to get pampered will enjoy the hotel's spa and wellness programing, which focuses on the healing characteristics of thermal water.

Oyster Hotel Review

Hotel Blancafort Spa Termal

Scene

Elegant and stylish wellness destination

The property's leafy exterior and the surrounding mountains set a very serene backdrop to the hotel's robust wellness offerings, which ranges from Roman-style thermal baths and deep tissue massages to a well-stocked fitness center, making Gran Hotel Balneario Blancafort a spa enthusiast's dream. But the simple and elegant lobby bar and on-property restaurants are equally top-notch.

Location

In a small town outside Barcelona

The hotel is about a half-hour drive from Barcelona and just under an hour by train. (There is a train station five minutes away by walking from the hotel.) The property is a great relaxing home-base for exploring the area surrounding Barcelona. There’s an 18-hole pitch and putt golf course eight minutes by car. And wine enthusiasts can also reach the Bruguer Vineyards in just a 10-minute drive. A bit further away is the Montseny Natural Park, which can be reached by car in about an hour.
