Unattractive surrounding residential buildings
The Senator Barcelona Spa Hotel is a peaceful property located outside the city center within walking distance of the Camp Nou stadium. The less populated location offers an appealing, if slightly dated, spa and massage center complete with an indoor grotto-like pool and a rooftop outdoor pool. There is a massive breakfast buffet and a charming piano bar on-site. Rooms are clean and air-conditioned with minibars and kettles, but Wi-Fi is weak and there's a pesky fee for spa access.
Scene
Slightly dated spa hotel
The spacious Senator Barcelona Spa Hotel is clean and speckled with unique decor, ranging from the garden and fountain that marks the entryway to the piano in the lobby bar. The lobby is big and open, but not particularly luxurious. The spa features an underwater theme with bright yellow walls split by blue painted waves and showers and whirlpools nestled into fake rock. It’s slightly odd but creative and welcoming.
Location
Residential location close to stadium, cafes, and university
In the quiet, residential neighborhood of Les Corts, the Senator is not in the center of Barcelona but the Metro station (Collblanc is the closest) is a five-minute walk away and allows for easy access to the city center. From there, it's a 15-minute ride to the heart of Barcelona, which lies about 4.5 miles away. Camp Nou Stadium is 10 minutes away by foot. There is a bus stop right across the street and a grocery story and several cafes within easy walking distance.
Rooms
Large, dated, but clean rooms
The long rectangular rooms with pale yellow paint, striped wallpaper, and dated curtains are not particularly modern, but all are equipped with a small flat-screen TV, a sitting area, a mini-fridge stocked with free water and soda, and power-controlled electrical beds. Bathrooms are basic and Wi-Fi can be unreliable.
Features
Rooftop pool, indoor pool, and elegant piano bar
The single feature that sets the Senator apart from any other in the neighborhood is its large spa and massage center, with whirlpools, saunas, and a tanning bed. There is also a rooftop pool, an elegant piano bar, room service, babysitting service, free (but limited) Wi-Fi, a fitness center, airport shuttle, business center, and meeting rooms.
