I had my first stay at an Edition hotel last September for 1 night. Via Laietana was undergoing major construction work during my stay and the traffic was terrible, so I jumped out of the taxi and walked the last 1 km. My room was not ready when I arrived and I won’t repost the photos, since my room was of the same type as in ElevatorEnthusiast’s post who did a fantastic job of highlighting the room. There was something that spoke to me in that room, that sense of elegant understated luxury. The wood tones, the muted colors, the bronzed fixtures, the marble? bathroom. I will say it provides a stark contrast to the building’s odd exterior however. (but then again I loved the couch/day bed like sitting area by the window)

I did get a chance to stop by the rooftop bar and it was magnificent. The lively but not too lively atmosphere, the helpful and enthusiastic staff, the beautiful views of the city, and the food (snacks with an Asian twist) made it a great place to spend my last evening in Barcelona. I wish I had a chance to try the breakfast but I had to catch an early train the next day.

Now, this for me is still a splurge hotel (my rate was 469 EUR), but being able to use SNAs in the future should make it better. I look forward to trying another Edition hotel in the future. Welcome snack and bar food pics are below.
