Fairmont Rey Juan Carlos I - Barcelona

Terrace restaurant was great, both food and staff. Wish they had soup. Concierge, doorman, porters very helpful.

I found it a little cool Shuttle service to downtown would be wonderful

Great beds, beautiful environment

Breakfast was to busy and a line to be seated No service at the swimming pool ( its 5 stars)

Everything. The room, the spa, the gym, the very friendly staff.

The staff was excellent. They eased my check in and check out. They also made it really easy to stretch my stay in the same suite. Special mention to Jamal Khan who was fantastic to me. For the place it was just a 10 out of 10 luxurious hotel. I have been to five stars hotels but Fairmont is the best so far. I will go back there for sure.

Lovely

Ground floor toilets. One moved, one broken, one the light didn’t work.

Facilities pool area and not too far away to be in city

The hotel is very grand on entrance and the staff are very welcoming. At reception the hotel had spotted that it was my partners birthday and went over and beyond by sending up some champagne and a birthday cake to celebrate. Room was clean and nicely set out, however a very business feel to it. We had spa treatments (Back & Shoulder and Chocolate treatment) which were amazing!!!! Definitely recommend! We ate within the main restaurant and the food was lovely, even accommodated my intolerances. Great location if you want to visit Camp Nou (Barcelona Football ground) for a match or a tour, however about a 20-30 min taxi ride to the beachfront itself and about 15 mins to Las Ramblas (main strip). This would cost you around 15-20 euros in a taxi. Overall a very grand nice hotel, especially well set up for business travel.

The treatment rooms within the spa left a little to be desired. Rather than feeling like you were at a spa, it was a little more clinical and felt like it was maybe within a local sports centre. The treatments were amazing and by upgrading the treatment rooms or spa area could help enhance the experience. The masseurs however did not speak any english, however you can make it through knowing a little spanish or following their directions after they act them out. This was not a bad thing (as we were in Barcelona), however we could have been made aware of this before the treatment.
