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.

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.
