Luxury at its best... The minute you enter the hotel you feel comfortable and welcomed due to the warm greetings of the wonderful staff, our room needed 45 minutes to be ready, they led us to a beautiful lounge to wait there and offered refreshments and pastries, this gesture meant something to us.
The staff and the concierge were very helpful and attentive to our needs, we needed to wrap a breakable item on our check out, the scissors, tape, carton packaging and bubble nylon were sent to our room in few minutes, that was very sweet and fast. The Blanc restaurant's food was amazing, the staff were welcoming and warm, the place is calm and comfortable, you don't want to leave, we used to go there every night, every item on the menu is made with love even the club sandwich and the burger were gourmet.
The breakfast was perfect and delicious, the variety of juices, cheeses and meats were outstanding. The last day of our stay. the waiter offered us a bottle of local oil which was very touching.
Small gestures that make a big difference, for example, with the coffee pods in the room they offer honey pots along with sugar, that small gesture is very thoughtful, Very clean rooms, well maintained, you are asked everyday if you need someone to come up and clean the room in the afternoon, in addition, they send the housekeeping every day at 5:00 pm to check if you need extra towels, toiletries, water or coffee. I would live there:)
The location of this hotel is just the perfect spot, there are enough staff on the gate of the hotel for 24 hours to make you feel safe and help you with everything you may need without asking.
Thank you for making our stay memorable in all aspects.

This was my fifth visit to the hotel over the last decade, and like a good Spanish wine it gets better with age! The building is as grand and beautifully designed as ever, the address no doubt the most prestigious in the city and the facilities second to none, but what is even better now is the service. Perhaps it is the presence of a charming new GM or the re-awakening after Covid but either way we have never experienced service as professional, efficient and charming as this, in all my travels. A request for ice in the room arrives so quickly we imagined they must have been primed for a sprint, bucket in hand! A call to housekeeping to service our room while we left for lunch was answered before we'd had a chance to grab our sunglasses and leave the room - all so impressive, and all done with genuine enthusiasm and friendliness. Likewise at the chic rooftop dipping pool and bar, complimentary filtered water was offered and replaced often and the smiles of the staff as real as those given to the guests spending hundreds on champagne. The breakfast buffet is back in full force and left us replete for nearly the whole day, so make sure to make time for a long leisurely start to the day. We adored our room with its spacious terrace at the back of the hotel so a splurge to the Mandarin Room category is highly recommended. We can't wait to go back to this hotel that feels like a resort in the heart of Barcelona.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveler reviews.
There was 5 Star service from the minute we walked in the lobby to check in, until the moment we checked out. Upon arrival from the airport, they had us sit in the lobby couch, brought us drinks, and sent someone over to us to check us into the hotel.
The hotel is located right in the middle of Barcelona's shopping district, so it is convenient to restaurants and stores. It is a short walk to La Rambla, and a short cab ride to the beach.
The rooms are very clean and nicely appointed and the turndown service often included little gifts and deserts, waiting for us when we got back to the room.
The concierge service was excellent. They made reservations for us for dinner for ever night, prior to our trip, and every restaurant was excellent. When our Tapas tour that we set up on our own with another company got cancelled, they quickly set us up with a replacement. And we mentioned that we would like to take a day trip to a nice beach outside of Barcelona, along the Spanish coast. The next morning, they had a driver pull up in a Mercedes S Class to drive us up to a really charming beach and village in Costa Brava for the day.
The rooftop pool/bar was very nice, with amazing views of the city. We would have drinks up there after coming back from dinner. One morning, I went up there just to sit and get some work done at 9:15 AM and look out at the view of the city. I knew they did not open until 10:00, and I did not expect any service while I was up there, but the waiter was up there, and when he saw me, he set up a table and asked me if I would like anything, as if they were already open. So to my surprise, I had coffee and biscotti while I did my work on my laptop.
If we ever return to Barcelona, we will be staying in this hotel again.

This is a world class hotel with exceptional service and best of the best accommodations and service. The staff cannot do not enough for its guests with no detail overlooked, and the location on Passeig De Garcia with luxury shopping and dining just outside the front door makes this a top pick when in Barcelona. Not inexpensive (so skip the Manderin Oriental if on a budget). But worth the price for those who want and cannot afford luxury. Highly recommend.

This should be your luxury hotel of choice when in Barcelona. It’s location is just perfect to navigate around town, well positioned in mid town so it is a breeze to go and discover old town, the musea of the Montjuïc area or do some shopping. Where for instance the Arts hotel is further away and comes with some sort of a commute. Here you walk to lunch and dining venues within a reasonable and leisurely stroll. The concierge just had the perfect recommendations in terms of restaurants and felt immediately what kind of vibe we sought after.
Check-in: a warm welcome, professionalism, kindness + efficiency = Mandarin Oriental. Kudos the the entire front office staff. Thanks for making our stay so memorable.
The design of the hotel is interesting, maybe one of the earlier hotel projects of Patricia Urquiola, still standing strong in style, with a redefinition of luxurious elegance.
Staff, genuinely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable with eye for detail. Of course this is what a Mandarin stands for and makes this hotel stand out.
Housekeeping: a breeze, little touches, like a wind of love that had passed through the room every time.

This is the first time we stayed in a Mandarin outside of Asia and it didn't disappoint even though you have to pay triple the rates you pay in Mandarins in Asia. Concierge was great as every place they recommended was excellent. The restaurants have very good food but expensive. Housekeeping was also amazing as hotel and room were spotless and I also asked for Aqua di Parma toiletries even though their basic toiletries were also very good and we were fully satisfied with our request. This is a point I always bring up as most 5 star hotels have this policy of having two classes of toiletries depending on the rate/room you get which is quite annoying when you are staying for a week and the basic rate of the hotel you are staying at is like 300 - 400 usd a night. Overall very happy and would definitely recommend this hotel.

okay, so i'm not usually one for fancy hotels, but this place? totally won me over! it's got this perfect mix of luxury and homey vibes. the room was super comfy, like sleeping on a cloud, but what really made it special was all the little touches. fresh flowers every day, a personalized welcome note, even remembered how i like my coffee at breakfast. the staff went above and beyond to make me feel like a VIP, but in a totally down-to-earth way. if you want to feel pampered without the stuffy atmosphere, this is your spot. seriously considering making this my new home away from home!

We stayed 3 nights in MO Barcelona to enjoy the last days of summer. It was a good choice.
The hotel is perfectly located, right on a fancy shopping street and close to all sights.
The hotel, all the staff, the service, the room, the breakfast, simply everything was impeccable. I would like to praise the concierge team who were extremely helpful and gave us very good recommendations for restaurants, beach spots etc.
We had a room towards the Passeig de Gracia. The windows were sound proof so we heard no noise which we very much appreciated.
We were happy with a choice of the hotel and wold recommend it.

Thank you so much for such an amazing experience at the MO Barcelona. I truly enjoyed the 4 night stay. The breakfast in the mornings were superb, and I'd like to especially highlight that Ms JoAn was extremely helpful, attentive, intuitive with her service. The dining venue is beautiful, and the quality and selection of foods + beverages available are fantastic. I personally was a fan of the vegetable quiche. I think one minor suggestion would be for a warm cup of soup (perhaps a cream of vegetable?) which may balance out the cold cuts.
The indoor pool and steam room were also great. The one thing that was a bit challenging was that the shower in the steam room was hard to figure out (it may have been broken?) and I ended up not using it. Cans of water and towels available throughout the experience was perfect.
In room dining was also smooth and delivery of the food was quick. I was continuously impressed with the professional yet friendly mannerisms of the team.
Concierge and team who helped with luggage was also friendly and very helpful. I was on the way to the Sants-train station, and the taxi there was ready immediately.
Needless to say, the location of the hotel is right in the middle of the city so it's easy to get around on foot.
I was staying during the Lunar New Year so the red lanterns and decor of the hotel also gave me a sense of connection to the Asian heritage of the brand, which I appreciated.
Overall, an excellent stay and I will definitely be back again in the future.

We stayed in Barcelona with friends and were looking for somewhere to eat on Passeig De Gracia. I am a long time fan of MO so we stopped for a lunch at Blanco.
The restaurant is in the atrium basement and is well lit, bright and Catalonian crip and stylish. Tables are well spaced and as you would expect for a hotel sporting multiple etoiles, service and food quality were exceptional.
But here is the surprise - it is also reasonably priced. We ate in a group of 3 adults and 3 children, the latter all having an well presented, well thought through children' menu. The entire meal with a bottle of wine was less than we paid the prior night at a run of the mill tapas bar.
Food is cooked to perfection (this is the MO - expect nothing less) and the flavors coupled with the presentation made the entire meal a wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable experience.
Now to the service. Of course the MO is legendary for its spectacularly attentive and intelligently delivered service. We had the delight of being looked after by Rui. He was a genius, not only automatically providing the kids with everything they needed, before asking and before they knew they wanted or needed it, but he also treated the entire party with a gracious hospitality that I have not seen in many establishments. I could go on, but the point is the MO service in Barcelona is testament to their standards and principles and as a customer this makes for a superb experience.
Shall return.....soon I hope. Great experience. Thank you
