Jellyfish.
At the concierge, the W Signature paris budget hotels Whatever/Whenever service offers guests whatever paris budget hotels they want, whenever they want as long as it s legal and paid for, of course. Apparently they can provide you a pair of jogging shoes at 2AM, or do a helicopter delivery of wedding paris budget hotels cakes

Towels, fresh fruit, beverages, sun care necessities, paris budget hotels complimentary wifi, and personal VIP services are all provided the only thing you need to bring is yourself in a bathing suit, and a mind to relax.
And wow indeed, as this is the WOW Suite, the second largest suite type at W Barcelona. The outdoor terrace alone is enough to win my heart, with its sun beds, outdoor jacuzzi, and magnificent views of the Mediterranean Ocean and city of Barcelona.
For those not looking for suites, the Wonderful , Mega , and Fabulous rooms are great chioces. The Fabulous Room that I stayed in comes with views of the beach, the city, and the ocean, so beautiful I almost wanted to scratch out my itinerary for the day and just chill by the window chaise paris budget hotels lounge.
What to love: ultra plush bed with goose down bedding, 350-thread-count cotton sheets, W bathrobes, Bliss Spa amenities, iPod dock, 32" flat screen TV. Apparently there s also a mood lighting function which I forgot to explore.

W Barcelona also has one of the biggest paris budget hotels gym I ve seen in a hotel. This 300 sqm space (open 24 hours) is fully equipped with Technogym treadmills, elliptical machines, stationary bikes mounted with personal LCD TVs, etc. The best part?  Floor-to-ceiling windows allow you to work out to an amazing sea view.
There are several F B venues at W Barcelona, including Bravo by Michelin Star-winning Chef Charles Abellán. Though I didn t get to try it on this visit, his modern Barcelonan cuisine at Bravo sounds like a good idea.
For more amplified beats, head upstairs to the 26th floor to Eclipse. It was a full house on the night of my visit, and apparently this is often the case as the lounge is popular among locals and hotel guests alike.
Breakfast is served at WAVE restaurant on the ground floor, right inside paris budget hotels the terrace (read: sea view). A spread paris budget hotels of pastries, fruits, yogurts, cereals, cheeses, and charcuterie, plus a choice of hot dish like the breakfast wrap with chicken, peppers, and guacamole, or the Spanish egg tortilla with potatoes, chorizos, and onions.
The only potential problem paris budget hotels of staying at W Barcelona is that the closest metro station paris budget hotels is a 10~15 minute walk, so public transportation is not the most convenient way to get around. There is, however, a bus stop right outside the hotel connecting to the metro station, and taxi is always an option. And maybe, just maybe, that after making yourself paris budget hotels comfortable on one of the day beds by the pool, you won t ever want to leave the hotel again anyway. Step inside and see for yourself.
