Hotel Omm Barcelona is full of different styles of graffiti, every wall and every door - it’s inspiring, intriguing and adds to the city’s style.

Hotel Omm Our huge suite! Spacious and comfortable with carefully placed design features, a pleasure to stay in. And we loved the books, got stuck into an Alain de Botton sitting on the top shelf!

Hotel Omm A perfect room to relax in or to work in if staying for business. (Or lie on the bed and watch a movie on the projected TV, nice touch!)

Hotel Omm The awesome exterior of Hotel OMM, the ‘waves’ giving the impression of constant movement in the building. Some have balconies; ours did, giving stunning views of Passeig de Gracia.

Highs & Lows

  • The menu at Roca Bar, less formal than Roca Moo, was impressive – steak tartare and anchovy filo sticks were incredible.

  • It’s a busy ‘see and be seen’ hotel with a well designed and spacious lobby bar with a good vibe in the evening. And yet, it’s a relaxed and friendly hotel that you can really chill out in.

  • Breakfast was heaven! Tuck into a leg of jamon or choose from the selection of homemade regional cakes.

  • Spaciomm is the spa at OMM so of course I had to test it out (all in the name of research!). My massage was one of the best.

  • It’s a hotel that lives on the edge of being both a corporate hotel and a chic, stylish boutique hotel, and I actually think it succeeds at both.

  • Daytime music in Roca Bar and lobby needs rethinking.
