InterContinental Hotels & Resorts has announced the opening of InterContinental Barcelona, the first luxury hotel to open in Barcelona this year situated in the heart of the Montjuic district. Located southwest of the city, Montjuic is a scenic hill that overlooks the harbour offering stunning views of Barcelona. Taking inspiration from the Mediterranean Sea and the striking architecture that the city is famous for, InterContinental Barcelona’s 273 rooms offer guests an elegant space with an unparalleled level of sophistication. Following an extensive renovation, guests will find nods to the richness of a European city built on unique Catalan culture, including the use of natural wood interiors with hues of blue, ochre, and neutral tones woven into the soft furnishings. InterContinental Barcelona is also home to a 180m² Presidential Suite, as well as 17 Junior Suites, which offer stunning views of Barcelona, embodying the brand's modern luxury philosophy.
From Michelin star Chefs to up-and-coming talent, InterContinental Hotels & Resorts represents the best of international and local culinary expertise and InterContinental Barcelona is no exception. With three restaurants and bars within the hotel, guests can expect to be immersed in local culture with menus referencing earthly elements.
The hotel’s Gebre Cocktail and More bar offers a selection of classic and signature cocktails, the Boira Coffee Lounge is a great space for relaxation any time of the day, and the 173 Rooftop Terrace has spectacular 360° views over the whole of Barcelona and offers guests a seasonable swimming pool.
The Spa, one of the most spacious spas in the city spanning 1,200m², is designed to be a sanctuary for both guests and locals. It boasts an expansive wet area, with a hydrotherapy pool, jets and water beds, steam bath, sauna, and a hammam. There are also six treatments rooms, including two doubles, where guests can enjoy therapies from award-winning Spa brand Natura Bisse.
Enrique Escofet, General Manager, InterContinental Barcelona, commented: “InterContinental Hotels & Resorts has been pioneering luxury travel in new destinations and established, upmarket locations for 75 years. The brand is renowned for weaving modern luxury design through its collection of iconic properties globally and InterContinental Barcelona is a perfect example of how the brand can reimagine an existing property to exceed the expectation of the modern luxury traveller.”
