FYI, the hotel's website email for elites is currently not in compliance with the Marriott Bonvoy programme:
"· We can extend a one-category upgrade upon availability. The Barcelona EDITION is a modern luxury hotel located in the el Born district. We are in the heart of the city centre, right next to the Barcelona Cathedral and within short walking distance to the beach."
I've asked my Ambassador to resolve before my stay or move me to Cotton House. One should not have to bargain with Marriott's brand new flagship luxury properties in order to receive the programme terms.
