A brief introduction to the best hotels in Barcelona with Spa facilities

In the last years, a lot of hotels have decided to include in their facilities a Spa area that both guests and the general public can have access to. Having or not having a swimming pool or a gym was, some years ago, a good reason to choose or reject a hotel. Today, however, finding spa facilities among the services offered by a hotel is even more decisive when it comes to looking for high standard accommodation. The thing is to offer the guest a moment of relaxation that is translated, most of the cases, into massages based either on the most ancient Oriental techniques or the most innovative ones. For those who are not staying in any hotel of such characteristics, these spa centres are also really attractive: the fact that they are part of the services offered by a hotel implies –as opposed to other centres in the city- that the opening times are more accessible (including even Sundays and holidays).

One of the most impressive Spas in Barcelona is the one in Hotel Arts (+info). Located on the 42th floor of the imposing building, it boasts spectacular views we will enjoy while being pampered with any of the treatments offered in the Six Senses Spa, that includes hydromassage pools and ice waterfalls in its facilities, and offers, among others, stone massages or chromotherapy.

On one of the main entries to Barcelona, in the surroundings of Avenida Diagonal, we find Hotel Rey Juan Carlos I Business & City Resort , one of the most emblematic hotels in the city that boasts an impressive swimming pool. Its Royal Fitness and Spa offers different treatments and facilities include a 25.000 square meter garden.

Hotel Omm has also joined the trend with Spaciomm, that includes a massage area, hydrotherapy and beauty centre. Those who come to this exclusive hotel looking for some peace will find it in the shape of ayurvedic and underwater massages, gravitation or oxygen therapy.

Far from the city, perched on the Tibidabo mountain, is Zen Zone Spa, that belongs to the exclusive Gran Hotel La Florida. Here we can choose any kind of massage, from the most typical and popular to more specific like sport or foot massage.

Also perched high on a mountain, in this case on Montjuïc, is Hotel Miramar Barcelona. All sort of treatments –including beauty- are offered in the cabins. There is also sauna, Turkish baths and heated pool.

The last one of our hotels is the gay friendly Hotel Axel, whose spa is managed by the InShape group. The offer includes therapeutical, relaxing and geothermal massages, shiatsu…We can even ask for a private relaxing session that combines musictherapy, relaxing massage, aromatherapy, stone treatments and tea tasting.
