food & drink

Barcelona’s grandest hotel bars are opening their doors for the second edition of Barcelona Hotel Bar Week, a citywide celebration of cocktails, bartenders and beautifully designed hotel lobbies. This year, more than 30 hotels are taking part, each creating a signature drink especially for the occasion.

The programme goes well beyond cocktails, with guest bartenders, food pairings, masterclasses, tastings, art, wellness sessions and cultural events popping up across the city. Some of this year’s participating spots include the Cotton House, Mandarin Oriental, Nobu, The Hoxton, W Barcelona and the Punch Room at The Barcelona EDITION. So you can consider this your opportunity to finally try out some of the best hotel bars in Barcelona - there’s no excuse.

The event offers a ‘passport’ for you to collect stamps as you go, turning the whole thing into your very own stylish bar crawl. To top it off, there’s a garden party and rooftop closing celebration for you to attend.
