From the time we arrived the staff was friendly, courteous, and 5 star quality. From offering recommendations on places to dine or drink, to offering umbrellas on a rainy day, and water after a long one, the staff was incredibly attentive. The double twin room was spacious and elegantly appointed without being over the top. Refined finishes like a rainfall shower, bathrobes, and courtesy slippers. The beds were comfortable and we heard no one in the hallways or rooms adjacent. Will highly consider a Sofitel for other travels and this one again if I’m ever back in Barcelona
