Is W Barcelona worth it solo?

DependsSolo

Solo, it depends on the day.

An unmissable architectural icon jutting into the sea, where the rooftop bar, pool scene and DJ energy are as much the draw as the rooms. A blast for friends and lively couples; too loud and scene-y for quiet seekers or multigen calm.
