Staying at The Barcelona Edition was an absolute highlight of my trip to Barcelona.

The area feels safe and vibrant, making it perfect for exploring on foot. The room itself was spacious with a stunning view—true to Edition’s signature style.

High-quality coffee maker and sound system were included, plus daily complimentary pastries added a lovely touch. Breakfast was served à la carte with excellent quality and presentation—fresh, well-prepared, and satisfying. The staff went above and beyond; when I mentioned confusion about the room type, they promptly upgraded me to a suite with a bathtub without hesitation. A small downside: the gym is quite compact, windowless, and not available 24/7—could be improved. Despite that, the overall experience was exceptional.
