Loved by guests
"Relaxing in the rooftop pool with a view of the city is exactly what you need after a whole day of walking and sightseeing."

"The location is perfect (near the Arc d'Triomf, and close to multiple metro stops)."
Nh Collection Barcelona Podium - Refined Elegance in the Heart of Catalonia
The Nh Collection Barcelona Podium presents itself as a sophisticated urban retreat, deeply rooted in the architectural heritage of Barcelona while offering contemporary comforts. It's a member of a distinguished Spanish hotel chain known for its quality and meticulous attention to detail, positioning itself as a solid choice for discerning travelers seeking both style and convenience.
Location
Situated in a quiet yet exceptionally well-connected area of Barcelona, the Podium is mere moments from the Eixample district, placing it within easy reach of Plaza Catalunya and the city's cultural heart. A short nine-minute walk leads to the expansive Parc de la Ciutadella, Barcelona's premier green lung, and a 10-minute stroll brings you to the energetic El Born district, alive with its trendy bars and boutiques. Iconic landmarks such as the National Theatre, Auditorium, and the historic Born Market are also within a brief walk, as are the Picasso Museum and the colourful Santa Caterina Market. While close to the city's pulse, the hotel manages to offer a sense of calm, away from the immediate tourist throngs.
Style and Character
The hotel wears its history with pride, its restored façade showcasing modernist architectural elements from the late 19th century. Inside, the atmosphere shifts to a refined contemporary elegance, a space designed to be both comfortable and chic. The general feel is one of understated sophistication, a quiet confidence that doesn't shout but rather invites you to settle in. It's a hotel that respects its setting while providing a modern, polished experience.
Service and Facilities
The Nh Collection Barcelona Podium offers a comprehensive suite of services designed to enhance any stay. A team of experts is dedicated to orchestrating events, with meeting rooms capable of accommodating over 220 people, supported by flexible setups for various needs. For personal well-being, a small gym equipped with cardio and weights machines ensures you can maintain your fitness routine. The property's Guest Relations team is on hand to ensure you make the most of your Barcelona experience. A particular highlight is the attractive rooftop terrace, complete with a swimming pool and cocktail bar, offering a splendid perch from which to enjoy inspiring city views.
Rooms
The accommodation at the Nh Collection Barcelona Podium ranges from comfortable guest rooms to spacious Junior Suites, all designed with a modern aesthetic. Entry-level rooms are appointed with essential amenities including air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a kettle, and a flat-screen TV. Premium rooms and Junior Suites are further enhanced with tea and coffee facilities, bathrobes, and slippers, creating a more luxurious feel. Junior Suites distinguish themselves with a separate seating area, often featuring a sofa bed, and additional amenities like Nespresso machines and minibars, providing a more expansive and comfortable base for exploration or relaxation. Bathrooms are well-equipped, featuring showers or baths and complimentary toiletries.
Food and Drink
The hotel's restaurant serves an appealing menu that marries traditional Spanish fare with international classics. Expect dishes such as pulpo on creamy mashed potato and grilled hake, alongside familiar favorites like pastas and burgers. The cuisine is characterized by its market-fresh ingredients and a delightful Mediterranean flair, with seasonal specialties taking pride of place. Skilled chefs artfully combine exotic ingredients with classic preparations to create surprising and memorable dishes. The breakfast buffet is a substantial affair, featuring a wide array of fresh juices, pastries, cold cuts, cheeses, fruits, yogurts, and an excellent selection of breads. For those who prefer, eggs can be prepared to order. Complementing the dining options, a superb wine list invites guests to explore the diverse viniculture of Spain, and the rooftop bar offers light bites and drinks, perfect for unwinding.
Value for Money
The Nh Collection Barcelona Podium provides a strong proposition for its price point, offering a well-rounded experience in a prime Barcelona location. The inclusion of essential amenities, a good breakfast spread, and access to facilities like the rooftop pool and bar contribute to its perceived value. It's particularly well-suited for travelers who appreciate a stylish base with convenient access to major attractions and the city's vibrant districts, without compromising on comfort or service.
Accessibility
Information regarding specific accessibility features for guests with mobility concerns was not detailed, but the hotel's general layout and service standards suggest an accommodating environment. Travelers requiring specialized access should contact the hotel directly to confirm available facilities and room configurations.
Family-Friendly
While not explicitly detailed as a family resort, the hotel's offerings, particularly its range of room sizes and central location near Parc de la Ciutadella, make it a practical choice for families. The availability of options that can accommodate multiple guests, coupled with the general standard of service, suggests a welcoming atmosphere for travelers of all ages. The rooftop pool also provides a pleasant diversion.
“The hotel's location, near Arc de Triomf and a major metro station, provides a solid base for exploring Barcelona; the rooftop pool is a definite highlight. However, reports of inconsistent service and extra charges for in-room coffee are concerning, and could overshadow the otherwise positive aspects.”
