Kimkim's Take

Authenticity
Because the hotel is so close to Passeig de Gràcia, ICON BCN tries its best to channel the city's famed Modernist decor. You'll find this in the large, trendy lobby lounge, the restaurant and breakfast buffet, and the hip outdoor terrace.Location
Just about one block from the heart of Passeig de Gràcia, you can easily walk to iconic sites, including Casa Batlló, Plaça de Catalunya, La Rambla, the Barcelona Cathedral, Arc de Triomf, and Ciutadella Park. Gran Via is right around the corner, though the hotel's street is slightly less busy, offering a bit of a city reprieve.Rooms & Bathrooms
The rooms are quite bright, spacious, and modern with nice touches, such as comfy lounge chairs and SMEG kettles. Family rooms offer either one double and one single bed or one double and a set of bunk beds. However, there's no seating area in the triple and quadruple rooms. Though the rooms feel modern, the bathrooms seem like they could use a refresh.Other Highlights
In your downtime, you can relax in the comfy and spacious lobby lounge, which has plenty of sofas, work tables, and corners for sipping drinks from the cocktail bar. Enjoy lunch or dinner at the Mezza Restaurant, which serves Mediterranean cuisine in its modern indoor dining room, outdoor patio, or poolside terrace. Other amenities include nearby parking and free bicycle use.Traveler Reviews

The Icon is a lovely boutique hotel in a perfect location. Its small size allows the staff to provide excellent service. The rooms and the entire property are VERY clean. Breakfast is extremely good. Nothing like the typical fare at a Hampton Inn in the USA. The hotel also has a nice little bar that serves food plus a charming outdoor space with a pool. Right across the street is a 5-star hotel--go ahead and enjoy the rooftop bar on that property but I doubt the experience of staying... Read more

Wonderful hotel! We enjoyed our stay here. The room was spacious and very clean. The hotel staff went above and beyond to make our Honeymoon special. The daily breakfast was fantastic. The location is central to anything you'll do in Barcelona and if needed, taxis are affordable and not any trouble to get. Read more
