About the Hotel

Open your eyes to verdant tree-lined streets, a vibrant atmosphere embracing the arts, and the beautiful sunshine and weather of the Mediterranean, as you arrive at the Hotel Sofia. Located in the heart of Barcelona's bustling shopping and business center, and just minutes from the sea, you will experience this city in style. Plush rooms are bright and inviting, crafted with soft pastel tones and dark, rich wood furniture and accents. Sunlight streams through large picture windows, while city views and the Mediterranean in the distance will take your breath away. Luxurious bathrooms offer complete serenity, while all the modern amenities and services leave you feeling like royalty. Relax and enjoy all that Barcelona has to offer from the lap of luxury at the Hotel Princess Sofia.

Wake to a beautiful day on your first morning, and enjoy a fabulous breakfast at Contraste Restaurant or at iQ smart fresh food, with a menu carefully designed by a nutritionist. Venture out for the day to discover this amazing city, and start with a stroll down the famed La Rambla. Enjoy fantastic and eclectic shopping, vibrant street performances, and delightful cafés where you can sit, relax and people watch. Make your way to La Sagrada Familia, a magnificent temple designed by Anton Gaudi and begun in 1881, where you can marvel at its massive structure, which is still being constructed today. Continue on to Gaudi's psychedelic Park Guell, on a hill overlooking the city, and enjoy a pleasantly strange afternoon amongst serpentine benches, brilliant tile mosaics, giant decorative lizards, and gingerbread-styled houses. In the afternoon stop in at a lovely café for a true taste of Barcelona and enjoy fabulous fresh seafood and pintxos, the delightful tapas-styled local snacks. Take the rest of the afternoon to relax with a sail along the Mediterranean coast, or be moved by an astounding performance at the Gran Teatre del Liceu or L'Auditori. That night, return to the hotel for a well-deserved massage at AQUA Diagonal Spa, then enjoy a fun-filled dinner in the hotel's very own German Biergarten. At Hotel Sofia, every day is truly this magical.

Reviews for Hotel Sofia

Good stay

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 days ago

We had a truly memorable stay celebrating our anniversary, thanks to the exceptional service from the front desk — especially Iana Ursu and Valeria. From checking in, she made us feel incredibly welcomed. The surprise wishes card to us for our special occasion was such a thoughtful touch and truly elevated our experience ! Thank you for making our anniversary so special — we’ll definitely be back!

Excellent stay

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 days ago

This was a wonderful solo trip. Special appreciation for the housekeeping team. Room was immaculate, not one day was there not attention to detail missed. Great location with easy transportation to the city. As a solo traveler I never felt alone or unsafe moving around the city. Will be back. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Friendly hotel close to Barcelona FC

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 6 days ago

Great location if you are Barcelona FC fans, generally the hotel is nice and staff are friendly. Assuming the price would be much higher when the stadium renovation is done though. Anyway it was a nice experience for my family and we did enjoy our stay

Everything was perfect. The location of the hotel is excellent, it's easy to reach the public transport from there. A taxí station is near, but the friendly and helpful staff even calls a car to the entrance. The rooms are with total comfort.

I challenge you to find a better place to stay in Barcelona

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Excellent experience Serviceable, helpful and attentive staff. No request is too much for them. And the service is always delivered with a smile. Embarrassingly, I do not speak Spanish but all of them could speak English so we did not have any difficulty communicating with them. The food is delicious and of large variety. It is a real treat seeing the chefs at work during breakfast. Iana Ursu (receptionist) is a real gem- she was most welcoming and very helpful.. We absolutely love the rooms and amenities. We would be back to enjoy all these creature comfort and conveniences.
