Our Inspector's Highlights

Among the hotel’s many calling cards is the expansive ElCielo Rooftop, which features a swimming pool, cozy seating areas and a cocktail and tapas bar. The epic views of the beach and Mediterranean Sea make it the perfect spot for sunset cocktails.
Situated beside a stunning glass pyramid, the Blue Pool is loved by families for its shallow depth and peaceful gardens. You’ll also find lots of cleverly arranged seating areas for groups of all sizes.
The hotel’s gorgeous décor embodies Parisian sophistication and Catalan charm, with soft Mediterranean hues, plush furnishings and elements reflecting Barcelona’s artistic heritage. For example, the framed blue hexagons mounted above the beds pay homage to Antoni Gaudí’s panot tiles, which blanket the sidewalks along Passeig de Gràcia, one of Barcelona's iconic avenues.
A stylish dining experience led by heralded chef David Andrés, Tendiez Tapas Bar & Restaurant offers Mediterranean and Catalan dishes prepared with seasonal local ingredients. Dine indoors or enjoy a romantic outdoor setting under a canopy of vine leaves. A few highlights include Palamós shrimp tartar and roasted lamb from nearby Vic, served with chanterelle mushrooms.
The luxury hotel has a privileged location right by the beach — a rare treat in Barcelona. Enjoy waking up to sea views and a morning stroll on the sand before heading off for a day of sightseeing.

The hotel’s stunning green façade is a living wall stretching roughly 3,230 square feet. Its smart irrigation system ensures each section of the wall receives the exact amount of water it needs to reduce excess water consumption.
