Bottom Line

The three-and-a-half pearl Hilton Barcelona focuses on the needs of business travelers with features like fully-equipped meeting rooms, free Wi-Fi, and an Executive Lounge. The design is ultra-contemporary, and all the basics in amenities are covered: restaurants, nice gym, room service, hot breakfast buffet, and parking (for a fee). However, there’s no pool or spa and the hotel’s a bit far from the city center, making it less than ideal for tourists. The 290 rooms are lovely and provide comforts like flat-screen TVs, minibars, and kettles. For a pool, nightclub, and spa, travelers might want to consider Melia Barcelona Sky, a business-friendly hotel on the opposite end of Avenida Diagonal in the business district of El Poblenou.

Oyster Hotel Review

Hilton Barcelona

Scene

Modern, business-friendly hotel with a sophisticated design

Hilton Barcelona is situated in a modern glass building on the busy Diagonal street of Barcelona. Inside, the hotel is designed with the business traveler in mind. It's modern, sleek, and minimalistic in most instances. The lobby has glossy white floors and an under-lit desk. There are some colorful accents among the mostly cream and white design such as a hanging orange art piece over a lovely seating area in the lobby, with a maroon and pink rug and white chairs with orange pillows. The restaurants exude sophistication as well, but adds fun, chic elements like bright blue or purple rugs and interesting colorful hanging lights installations. Overall, there’s a pretty busy vibe here. Most guests note that there are a lot of travelers from conferences or cruises.

Location

About a 25-minute metro ride from the city center, but close to shopping and restaurants

Depending on the reason for your visit to Barcelona, the hotel’s location could be a pro or con. For tourists, it’s quite far from the city’s main attractions and takes about a 25-minute metro ride to most popular places like the Gothic Quarter, Park Guell, or Sagrada Familia. However, for business travelers, there are a lot of offices along Avenida Diagonal, where the hotel is located. Soccer fans might appreciate that Camp Nou is a 17-minute walk away. For shopping, there’s a mall that’s five minutes away on foot, whereas dining options are plentiful on surrounding streets. The closest metro stop is a six-minute walk away. It’s a 15-minute drive to Barcelona Airport.
