The Bar/Lounge at Sofitel Barcelona Skipper

"While renting towels for the beach can be a bit of a nuisance, this hotel is near the metro for easy access to Barcelona's sights, and 24-hour room service is on offer"

"De sign ed for business travellers, weekend bargains are often available"

"The rooftop pool has an outdoor bar (June to September), an adjacent Jacuzzi, and tables and chairs to better enjoy the views, but guests can also enjoy the larger (unheated) pool on the ground floor, where another in-house bar and restaurant await"

"The Blend lounge and bar offers a lip-smacking tapas menu of Barcelona specialties as well as main courses with Asian influences, and the in-house mixologist has created an inventive cocktail menu to go with it"

"A varied lounge area, guestrooms offering modern creature comforts, a spa, plus an attractive rooftop terrace with a swimming pool"
