AC Hotel Irla is a compact AC Hotels by Marriott property at C/ Calvet 40–42 in Barcelona’s Sant Gervasi–Galvany area. With 36 rooms on 4 floors, it is a small, modern, business-oriented hotel in one of the city’s more affluent residential and commercial districts. The location is a key part of the appeal: this is not a Gothic Quarter or beachfront hotel, but it places guests near Avenida Diagonal, Paseo de Gracia, neighborhood restaurants, boutique shopping, and strong transit links. Muntaner FGC station is nearby, the Francesc Macià tram stop is about a 5-minute walk away, and Rambla de Catalunya is roughly 15 minutes on foot. Amenities are focused and practical. Guests can use a 24-hour fitness center, business center, meeting room, Wi-Fi, 24-hour front desk, laundry services, luggage storage, and on-site garage/self-parking for a fee. Dining centers on the AC Lounge and breakfast service, making the hotel convenient for short business or city stays rather than travelers seeking a resort-style facilities list. Rooms are described as modern and equipped for business or leisure travelers, with free in-room Wi-Fi, air conditioning, an in-room safe, and 24-hour room service. Public sources do not highlight extensive suites, named view categories, or large room layouts, so the hotel is best understood as a streamlined city property with functional, contemporary accommodations.
The core room product at AC Hotel Irla is a modern, compact city guest room intended for business and leisure travelers. Public sources emphasize a relatively uniform 36-room inventory rather than a broad suite lineup.
Some rooms may face the surrounding Sant Gervasi–Galvany streets, giving a more urban Barcelona feel. Public sources do not publish this as a formal guaranteed view category, so it is best treated as a request rather than a confirmed room type.
Given the hotel’s modest urban footprint, some accommodations may face inward rather than directly toward the street. This is useful to request if you prefer a less street-facing room, though public sources do not list official courtyard-view categories.
For work-focused stays, standard rooms provide the hotel’s modern AC Hotels setting with connectivity and practical in-room basics. The property’s business orientation is supported by Wi-Fi, a business center, and a meeting room on site.
The AC Lounge is the hotel’s main social and dining space, described by Marriott as offering a varied gastronomic selection. It functions as a relaxed bar and casual venue rather than a destination restaurant.
Breakfast is offered on property, with sources referencing continental and buffet options for an added charge when not included in the rate. The setup is best suited to a straightforward morning meal before work or sightseeing.
Shoulder-season months offer mild, relatively dry weather around 14–21°C, fewer crowds, manageable prices, and good conditions for festivals and sightseeing without peak-summer heat.
Hot, humid conditions coincide with peak tourist season, larger crowds, higher accommodation prices, stronger award demand, and some August closures.

Sant Gervasi–Galvany is an affluent residential and commercial area with tree-lined streets, boutique shops, restaurants, and strong transport connections.
