Barcelona
Contemporary Mediterranean luxury. Clean lines, warm tones, restrained glamour — feels like a modern European grand hotel rather than a lifestyle property. Design is sophisticated without being loud.
The 173 Rooftop Terrace bar and restaurant are open to the public — worth a visit even if you're staying elsewhere, especially at sunset
Why It Matters
One of Barcelona's newest five-star hotels, with QUIRAT earning a Michelin star in the 2026 guide. The 1,200 m² spa is among the largest hotel spas in the city, and the 173 Rooftop Terrace is open to non-guests, making it a genuine local destination rather than just a hotel amenity.
Opened in 2021, InterContinental Barcelona sits at the foot of Montjuïc hill, directly overlooking the National Art Museum of Catalunya (MNAC) and the grand plazas built for Barcelona's 1929 International Exhibition. It's a 273-room hotel designed by Brime & Robbins studio, with Mediterranean-inspired interiors that lean into understated elegance rather than flash. The real draw, beyond the rooms, is a trifecta of strong F&B: a Michelin-starred restaurant (QUIRAT), a serious cocktail bar with 250+ Spanish whiskies (Gebre), and a 173 Rooftop Terrace with a 360-degree view of the city skyline.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Balcony Suite
Same 55 m² as the Executive Suite but with a 6 m² private balcony, which is the standout feature. Spectacular views of Barcelona from the outdoor terrace. This is the suite to book if you want outdoor space and a morning coffee with a view.
King · 55 sqmClassic Room
The entry-level room at the InterContinental, and at 42 m² it's actually among the most spacious standard rooms in Barcelona. Located across multiple floors, finished in soft tones with contemporary furnishings. Features a separate bath and walk-in rain shower, espresso machine, minibar, and large smart TV. Comfortable without being over-the-top.
King or Twin · 42 sqmExecutive Suite
At 55 m², the Executive Suite adds a proper living space to the mix and offers views over Barcelona. Equipped with the latest technology, it's one of the hotel's standard suite configurations — comfortable, well-appointed, and a real upgrade in space from the rooms below.
King · 55 sqmPremium Room
Same footprint as Classic Rooms at 42 m², but positioned for city or garden views. The step-up is about the view and the overall position in the hotel rather than a change in room layout. A good choice if the outlook matters to you.
King or Twin · 42 sqmPresidential Suite
The largest room in the hotel, on the 5th floor. It has a full living-dining room with an integrated kitchen, a main bedroom with king bed and walk-in closet, and a second bedroom with twin beds. The décor is refined and the scale is impressive. Book it for two couples traveling together, or if you genuinely need the space.
King + TwinRoom with Club Access
The same room as the Classic configuration, but with access to the Club InterContinental Lounge — a private space with curated food and drinks service. Good pick for business travelers who want a quiet space for meetings or working without heading to the lobby.
