We stayed here one night before and two nights after our 12 night Med cruise which sailed out of Barcelona. The hotel is top notch in every way and is located in a nice residential-type sea-side area, and is a short walk to the convention center. The beach and boardwalk are just down the street, and there is a modern shopping mall across the street from the hotel. (This came in handy as my luggage was damaged on the flight over.)

As a Diamond member we were upgraded to a high floor with concierge lounge privileges. The concierge lounge was very nice and offered spectacular views of the water and city from the wrap around balcony. Sitting outside in the evening having a drink and snack was wonderful! The concierge (and all of the hotel staff) were very friendly and helpful with my questions and sightseeing requests. (First was luggage, and second and third were restaurants, port arrangements etc.)

As we were tired the first night from the flight, the Concierge suggested the mall across the street, which was a perfect choice for us (and several others we saw there as well from the hotel). There are several restaurants there, including a couple casual outdoor tapas bars we went to which really hit the spot. We liked it so much we went again on our return visit after the cruise. The room itself was very comfortable, and well furnished.

The lounge has complimentary beer, wine, spirits, and soft drinks, along with some nice appetizers. We also had breakfast here as well. It was nice socializing with the other guests in the evening as well. On a weekend night we were there in May, a band was playing outside, beach-side down from the hotel. We could hear the music lightly up on the balcony and watch the crowds gather for the concert; quite enjoyable and relaxing after a day touring around.

The Hop on Hop off bus (actually there are two different companies) stops near the hotel, and we used that to sightsee all over town, although the subway and trams are close by as well.

The walk along the beachside is most pleasant, and as the hotel is so tall, you don't have to worry about getting loss. Although we didn't use it because were busy sightseeing, we did walk down to the pool area one evening, and found it to be very attractive and inviting.

I would highly recommend this hotel for either business, or as we did for a pre/post cruise stay.

This my first trip to Spain/Barcelona and indeed its' value for money holidays.Pulbic transportantion is excellent so even its bit far from city center it's easily reach by underground or tram.A beautiful view of the beach and city.Breakfast is just superb choice just its not being refill fast enough so we need to wait bit longer.Room are spacious and so does the bathroom .I love much the lazy chair to lay back after a long day on tour in the City.
Barcelona have everything to offer from history,seaside,hills,sports,shopping and incredible food.This hotel is just in front of Diagonal Mar Mall and its everything you need.There a stop for Hop on Hop Off bus just 5 mins walk away and i bought a two days ticket.Come back in afternoon for a rest and hop on again for the next round with easy.
I did went for a jogging at the beach front till Olympic City and such a modern and excellent jogging track at the water front.Lots of waterfront restaurants and huge marina there.
I really glad i choose Hilton Diagonal Mar and this is the retreat i have been been looking for a long time in Europe without paying through the nose.

My husband and I just stayed for 4 nights at the Hilton Diagonal Mar Barcelona. We had a very enjoyable stay there. We booked an executive room and were given a lovely corner room and could not have been happier. The location was very convenient to the Metro and there is a big shopping area across the street with some nice restaurants.
The executive lounge was very nice and being Hilton Diamond I can tell you it was one of the better ones. The people were very informative and helpful.
One thing I would like to mention. If you book the AAA rate, be sure to bring your card! I only had my card on an iPhone app and it did not show my name........They did accept it though.
When we left the hotel it was 6:45 am and there was no bellman on duty and no place to get coffee or breakfast (there is some sort of coffee in the room). Everything opens at 7am. The desk clerk got our taxi and helped us depart.
I would definitely stay at this property again..............great views and service

I went there during a cancer conference from business side it is perfect as it is 5 min walk to the convention center , plesure side it is a happy hotel were you feel so happy from the ambience and the hospitality and the great service from the team there
It is highly recommended.... If you can find a place as it was completely booked during this period as I had to book 6 month before the event , I would defenetly invite my guests again their
