I Stay In The W Barcelona - Was Dissapointed!

Hey! Greetings from Barcelona, actually you must know that these suites are mainly used or have been used for a long time just for partying so whenever anyone wants to enjoy a good suite for himself or with a partner they should not go to these rooms as crazy things happen while having 20+ people partying in a room.

[@AScottishOdyssey]

We have a phrase here in Scotland - "All fur coat, and no nickers". Essentially means that something, or someone, looks glamourous and classy, but lacks actual substance. It seems to sum up this hotel.

[@MrMSabate]

In Barcelona (and throughout Catalonia) there is a coastal law that prohibits building less than X metres from the coast. The W hotel was built directly on the sea! In violation of this law and everything that surrounds it, the W hotel and the area around it has become an area for the nouveau riche who want to take a photo of themselves on Instagram so they can say ‘I was there’. Not to mention that it is built in the Barceloneta neighbourhood, a very run-down neighbourhood where at night you can have your watch or phone stolen and get stabbed for free.

[@bigstyx]

I love this part of Barcelona, we stayed at a hotel, just down from the W and it was more towards the marina. Remember, a super yacht with a helicopter on, it had just pulled in. It was quite spectacular to watch those guys bring that in. There’s also a little park down where we were that had a festival as an American. It was really interesting to watch all this. I have visited many places in Europe, but Barcelona is one of my favorites.

I live on the water and will confirm that items corrode much faster out here

We also have the 2nd highest tidal pattern in the world so seeing the low tide at Whitmore Bar, Jackson Bay, the Old Harbour or the Knap pebble beaches are something quite beautiful.
