W. No questions. Better spot right on water. Great restaurant and bars. One of the coolest hotels in the world imo

like

W is pretty great, awesome gratis brunch if you have status and right on the beach. Bit of a walk to off property restaurants but again, right on the beach. Pool wasn't heated which was very strange...

But I got the site upgrade lol

Ive been wondering myself, W looks kind of trashy. I’d go with ritz for the service or the W if you want to party by the Pool.

Top floors at the Arts have the best views of Barcelona by far, but I don’t know if / how these are accessible. For the rest of items, I believe the W performs better.

Yeah definitely different vibes at the hotels. If you want more standard upscale- go ritz. If you want high end with great views and more party ish, then W. Also the W from the outside is awesome looking, sailboat type.

If you want more in-city then go cotton house

Cotton House.

W looks cool but the location isn’t ideal since it’s a bit out of the way. I actually stayed at the Le Meridian. The room was kinda small but location was fantastic and the breakfast was solid

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
