A Day at InterContinental Barcelona

Morning
Soft light filters through floor-to-ceiling windows. Enjoy a breakfast of Catalan pastries, fresh fruit, and espresso while the city stirs below. Step outside to explore Montjuïc’s gardens or the nearby art museums before the crowds arrive.

Afternoon
Return for a dip in the rooftop pool, the skyline stretching toward the sea. Lunch brings seafood paella and crisp cava on the terrace, the air filled with the sound of fountains and distant laughter from the plaza.

Evening
As twilight falls, the rooftop bar glows. The chef’s tasting menu unfolds like a story—octopus, saffron rice, figs with honeyed cream—each bite paired with the hum of the city below.

Night
Slip into the spa’s hydrotherapy pool or unwind with herbal tea in your suite. From your window, Barcelona’s lights shimmer across the horizon—restful, radiant, alive.

• Use apps for taxis rather than relying on street cabs.
• Check spa costs and book in advance if planning to use it.
• Bring US/European adapters for electronics.
