Best Barcelona Spa hotels by number of stars
Barcelona is a wonderful city. Beautiful architecture, delicious food, enticing nightlife, cool shopping, first-class museums, unique shopping opportunities… But while exploring all this is exhilarating, it also comes with its downsides: Lots of walking around, standing in line, a mind dizzy from absorbing as much as you can about the sites you are visiting, struggling to make yourself understood in a foreign language…
If you come to Barcelona, make sure to plan some time-off during your trip to get a real break and take care of yourself after a long day sightseeing. Choose a spa hotel and submerge in healing waters, have your muscles rubbed and massaged, regal your skin with deliciously scented creams and oils.
That’s a real rest! Do you want to know where to find that in town? The best way is to stay at one of our many hotels with spa services: we help you choosing the best one for you!

Palace Hotel
The Mayan Luxury Spa of the Palace Hotel won the World Luxury Spa Award in 2019. They don’t have a water circuit, but they do have a Temazcal sauna and their treatments are super-creative treatments! Silk & Shells? Cacao? Aztek gold? Tahitian black sand?
They even have special kids packages for your little princesses and superheroes (that is, your children of course!). But for its originality, we choose their special temazcal Mayan rebirth ritual of the 4 elements. Maybe the best spa in Barcelona. Book a room here.

Claris Hotel & Spa
The setting is important when talking about spas. The decoration needs to inspire you, to relax you, to elevate you. And this certainly happens at the spa of Hotel Claris, the only one featuring ancient pre-Columbian archaeological pieces. As soon as you step in, you feel transported back to the Mayan times… in style. Not for nothing it won the World Award to the Best Historical Spa in both 2018 and 2019. Plus the best Emergent Spa in 2017. That means something!

There’s only a couple of them in Barcelona, and it’s the only inside a hotel, as far as I know.
