The Catalan metropolis of Barcelona boasts a rich culture and language proudly different from the rest of mainland Spain. A coastal Mediterranean city located just southeast of the Pyrenees, Barcelona has a world-class cultural scene, a well-preserved medieval quarter, and probably one of the best football teams in the world.

From strolling the vibrant Las Ramblas to relaxing beachside at Barceloneta-enjoying the Surrealist architecture ofAntoni Gaudi along the way-Barcelona also offers visitors some of the best shopping, luxury accommodations, cuisine, and things to do in Spain.

For those who enjoy a little pampering during their travels, here are 11 of the top luxury spa hotels in Barcelona.

The Top Luxury Spa Hotels  in Barcelona

Senator Barcelona Spa Hotel

One of the best luxury spa hotels in Barcelona, the 5-star Senator Barcelona Spa Hotel enjoys a central Barca location at Les Corts, within easy reach of Camp Nou, Avinguda Diagonal and Plaça d’Espanya.

After a hard day of sightseeing, we recommend a few laps in the hotel’s rooftop pool before a relaxing spa treatment at the Senator’s Senzia Barcelona Spa & Wellness Centre. Unwind in the jacuzzi, Turkish bath, or cold plunge pool, or try the thermal hot and cold water circuit.  

Guest rooms are air conditioned and sound-proofed-essential in Barcelona-and are perfect for a luxury hotel Barcelona city break. For a spacious stay, book the triple room with king-size bed with additional sofa bed. The Senator’s buffet restaurant and piano bar serves a selection of Spanish and international cuisine.
