Must-Stay: Mandarin Oriental Barcelona 🏦 – The Real-Life Spanish 'Money Heist' Bank!
🏨 Located on Barcelona's famous Passeig de Gràcia, this hotel is right next to Gaudí's stunning Casa Batlló with its magnificent facade. Housed in an elegant mid-20th-century building, it was re-imagined by Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola, boasting a thoroughly modern interior that still retains the distinctive Mandarin Oriental charm.
.🏦 Formerly a bank, it incorporates many elements from its past. For instance, a wall in the Banker's Bar was once part of the bank, serving as a safe deposit box area. Even more unique, their menus are presented in metal boxes like banknotes, giving it a real 'Money Heist' vibe, Barcelona style!
It also doubles as a lounge for early arrivals, where you can even enjoy breakfast if it's already open.
Because it was once a bank, all rooms offer a sense of security, privacy, and tranquility. Even facing the street, it becomes incredibly quiet after dark.
The restaurant, lounge, and bar are all contemporary spaces, reflecting the city's artistic spirit and attitude.
An absolutely superb check-in experience and service quality.

Guest UserThis hotel offered a very comfortable stay overall, and I was satisfied with every aspect. The location is excellent, with convenient transportation and superb amenities nearby. Downstairs, there are plenty of restaurants and shops, including a casual bar, and directly across the street is a large Carrefour supermarket, making daily shopping, dining, and strolling incredibly convenient.
The hotel's interior space is spacious and grand, and the rooms are neat and clean, with excellent hygiene management. The staff were friendly and enthusiastic, providing thoughtful and attentive service. The accommodation area felt very safe and secure.
They also offer a convenient free bicycle rental service, which makes short trips and sightseeing exceptionally hassle-free. It’s suitable for both tourism and extended stays, offers good value for money, and provides an excellent overall experience. Highly recommended.

I stayed for two days this time, because there was no hot water in the bath last time, the hotel changed my room, I was very happy, but the problem still exists:
On the night of the stay, there was no water. My husband shouted halfway through the bath. There was no water and the water was stopped. Later, he had to put the shower head in a very low position to barely come out of a small water. The water pressure is extremely unstable. I called the front desk, the phone was not connected, there was no way to go downstairs to find the front desk, there was no one at the front desk, I shouted for two minutes in the whole building, anyone? Very loud voice, I was very scared at the time, I felt that a hotel, how can the service be so poor, 8,000 nights are not cheap, but how can there not even a waiter? 2 minutes later, when I gave up going upstairs, I walked out the waiter that night.
I questioned Trip.com this hotel is the first luxury hotel. I think it is not even a hotel, at best it is a homestay.
Two other minor problems, the dining table in the room I lived in had a large crack, and the door in the other room could not be opened and closed.

Guest UserReception staff is awesome friendly and helpful. Walls in the room had stains; how much effort would be required to do the paint touching? Negligible.

Great location, downside is limited rooftop beds so arrive early if you plan to take advantage of the sun! The hotel porter was really helpful and advised that a local taxi would be quicker and cheaper than an UBER however it ended up being double the price, so I would recommend double checking before departure.
