Sir Victor, part of the Sircle Collection, stands at Carrer del Rosselló 265 in the Eixample, in an area the booking listing describes as the entertainment district and close to a metro station. Diagonal station is a one-minute walk, and the hotel is near Passeig de Gràcia, Avinguda Diagonal and Casa Milà, with Plaça de Catalunya and the Sagrada Família described as close by. It has 91 rooms and a facilities list that is long for its size: an outdoor pool with sun loungers and a poolside bar, a rooftop terrace, an on-site spa, a health club or gym and two restaurants. The property class is shown as five and above, so this guide does not assign a precise star rating, and the guest score is 9.0, described as wonderful, from 758 reviews. For visitors who want a stylish hotel with a pool and a roof terrace in a location that lets them walk to La Pedrera and the shops of the upper Passeig de Gràcia, it is a good option, and it tends to appeal to couples and travellers who like a lively bar and dining scene.
Who it suits
Couples, friends and business travellers who want a design hotel with energy and plenty of places to eat and drink without leaving the building. The pool and rooftop terrace make it a good choice in the warmer months, and the spa gives you something to do on a rainy day. It is less suited to travellers who want a silent hotel, since the entertainment district nearby can be busy in the evening. If quiet is a priority, ask for a room away from the street when you book.
Staying well
The pool and terrace are the main summer attractions, so check seasonal opening dates and book spa treatments ahead. The location is convenient: Diagonal metro is on the doorstep, and from there you can reach the Sagrada Família, Plaça de Catalunya and the Gothic Quarter without a taxi. On foot, you can reach La Pedrera and the quieter streets of the upper Eixample. Two restaurants on site mean you can eat well without a plan, but the neighbourhood has many other options, so mix the two for variety.
Value
The combination of a pool, rooftop, spa and two restaurants in a hotel of this size is not common, and rates are correspondingly in the upper range, rising with demand at peak times. Tourist tax is added per person per night. Compare it with the larger properties on Passeig de Gràcia and with the boutique hotels in this guide, and check the cancellation terms before you book.
As the booking page shows a class of five and above rather than a precise rating, judge the hotel on its facilities and guest scores rather than on a star count alone.
