All have flat screen televisions with satellite channels, CD players, high-speed Internet connections, and complimentary bottled water; bathrooms include showers, bathrobes, designer toiletries and hair dryers.
Guests can enjoy a relaxing massage treatment at the hotel's spa, or unwind in the Finnish sauna, Hamam or jetted tub. The spa has an outdoor swimming pool on the roof terrace, which has panoramic views of the city. In El Comedor del Axel guests can enjoy Mediterranean fusion cuisine in a restaurant with smart contemporary decor and furnishings. Breakfast includes artisan-baked goods and freshly squeezed juices. On Thursday nights guests can enjoy the Shimai show, a memorable drag queen show while they dine. The Sky Bar is beside the pool on the roof terrace and guests can enjoy light meals, salads and sandwiches and stunning views over Barcelona.
