If I were in the hotel business, this is where I'd send all my executives. I'd say "watch what the staff does...and learn from it." All of the Mandarin Oriental amenities and design flair was in evidence. My room overlooked the main boulevard but was well sound-proofed. The WiFi was perhaps the bst I've ever experienced--throughout the property. But the... More

This is a fabulous hotel. Checked in and was assigned a first floor room on the boulevard. After some discussion and a lot of maneuvering by the woman at the desk, I got a sixth floor room since I am a light sleeper. They worked very hard to accommodate me since a family had reserved quite a few rooms including... More

Great choice in Barcelona but I'm not sure it's worth what I paid for... On top of everything... Staff ! With a very special mention to the ladies dedicated to suites and staff working at the concierge desk. Location is great, suite and it's bathroom were nice, breakfast ok but service there has to be improved... Loved what they did... More

Don't have the patience to write a long review but here are the points; - Arrived on Good Friday for a long Easter weekend - having booked a flight+hotel BA holiday (business class + 5* hotel) - Welcome was adequate but had to wait for a room for two hours as we arrived just before midday - so waited in...

neilsonparc has been a big fan of mandarin oriental hotels for some years now, ever since our initiation into the pleasures with the landmark mandarin oriental in hong kong.

Great Spa experience at the Mandarin Oriental Barcelona! I had organized two spa treatments for my best friend's birthday and we were were well looked after at the Spa! Team was great, settings very nicely featured; the atmosphere was great, the pool and steam room were awesome! We were booked in the double cabine and this was a great experience... More

Three days in Barcelona with my other half for some R&R, this hotel was chosen by my travel agent so no preconceptions. We wanted downtown and quality but were cautious as to street noise overlooking as it does P. de Gracia, one of the busiest streets in town. It was perfect in every way. Walking distance to the best shops,... More

Great hotel, service second to none, rooms could be better designed - lack of towel rails, modern furniture and fixtures a little chipped and showing age if you look carefully. Staff great however and spoilt us rotton supplying us champagne and cake for my wife's birthday.

This is the true Mandarin experience - top services, luxury, confort and food! We loved all. The location is perfect, maybe that could be the difference to choose this hotel. The breakfast room is wonderful, starting the day there was a must. Really recommend and hope to be back.
