Location

Where W Barcelona is

W Barcelona sits directly on the beachfront, on Plaça Rosa dels Vents at the end of Passeig de Joan de Borbó, the boardwalk that runs through Barceloneta. It's the glass-sail tower designed by architect Ricardo Bofill, so the building itself is a landmark on this stretch of shoreline. Staying here means direct beach access and Mediterranean views rather than a base in the old city, though the boardwalk walks straight into Barceloneta's grid of streets.
