They start your stay with a complimentary champagne. The rooftop bar/restaurant with the infinity pool over looking downtown Barcelona was worth a visit. They also gave us a complimentary bottle of Cava wine to enjoy with our dinner along with the room upgrade. One of the best breakfast buffet in all of Europe hotels I have stayed in. The staff we're all awesome. Loved the turn down service specially the little treats they leave for the guests.

Everything was great, but there is construction on the road in front of the hotel making access with a car a bit difficult. You then need to circle back around to get to the parking garage. My recommendation and what I would do in the future would be take a cab from the airport, enjoy my time in Barcelona, then return and pick up the car before exploring the rest of Spain.
