SLS Hotels & Residences proudly announces the opening of SLS Barcelona, an indulgent wonderland that is set to make a bold splash in one of Europe’s most vibrant cities.
Lavish design, culinary artistry and extraordinary experiences await guests from the moment they arrive via the undulating pink-neon runway entrance, a glamorous gateway to an urban resort that transcends anything the city has seen before. With an enviable waterfront setting at Port Fòrum, the 471-room hotel offers an unparalleled blend of opulent rooms and suites, six thrilling restaurant and bar concepts, three spectacular pools, and state-of-the-art event spaces, all framed by the glittering Mediterranean Sea.
Designed by internationally renowned design firm Rockwell Group, the 471 rooms and suites seamlessly combine modern opulence and playful touches. The unique architecture of the hotel, conceived by b720 Fermín Vázquez Arquitectos, allows each guestroom to have a private balcony or terrace, creating pristine perches from which to soak up the mesmerising spirit of Barcelona.
Luxurious interiors are informed by rich hues, mirrored glass and warm timber accents, while elements such as golden hand curtain holdbacks, and anthropomorphic portraits add a touch of whimsy. The stylish bathrooms serve up additional glamour with white marbled accents, Venetian mirrors and Florio-scented bath amenities by Ortigia.
Culinary artistry is at the heart of every SLS hotel, and Barcelona is no exception. Six unique restaurants and bars create a dazzling dining destination that is set to captivate guests and locals alike.
Created in partnership with Studio Paskin, Lora journeys through the towns that dot the Mediterranean coastline. At the heart of the kitchen, a large wood oven and coal-fired grill serves up a generous, celebratory menu that pays homage to the art of beautiful, seasonal ingredients.
L’Anxova Divina is an informal tapas restaurant that spills out onto a sun-dappled, seafront terrace. The menu is a tangible celebration of Barcelona’s tapas culture, serving up delectable pinchos and small plates of briny anchovies, crispy croquetas, charred padrón peppers and tortillas.
A post-modern cocktail bar—infused with elements of perfumery and rooted in the classics—will introduce an innovative new concept to the city’s mixology scene. Developed in collaboration with award-winning mixologists, Kyara explores cocktails as aromatic compositions, crafted with precision and emotion.
SLS Barcelona’s crowning glory, Cosmico is an immersive playground of big-serve cocktails, floating sushi boats and electrifying poolside beats – all set against breathtaking views of the city, marina and sea. Spanning one of the city’s largest rooftops, the day-to-night bar and club features two pools dotted with cabanas offering the ultimate in VIP access and a curated music programme including weekend Sunset Sessions.
From morning to night, Deluxe transforms from a stylish café to a sleek lounge bar, serving craft beers, signature cocktails, and bold bites for chic post-work drinks and pre-dinner aperitivo.
Bringing the effortless, sun-kissed vibes of South Beach to Barcelona, Coral is an elevated pool bar serving up an exquisite menu of handcrafted cocktails and is reserved exclusively for SLS guests.
On the first floor, the infinity pool is surrounded by chic sun loungers and cabanas, and overlooks the marina, while two further pools are impeccably placed on the rooftop for guests to see and be seen.
A light-filled, state-of-the-art gym and spin studio is open 24/7 and outfitted with all the equipment needed to stay on track while travelling, while complimentary hotel bikes provide a healthy way to explore the Catalan capital. A partnership with Edan Studios, will grant guests and visitors access to bespoke classes and wellness sessions. For those more inclined to peace-filled pleasure over pulse-raising pursuits, an extensive subterranean spa will open late 2025.
Set across two floors and accessible via a private group entrance, SLS Barcelona’s extensive event spaces are as varied and flexible as they are fabulous, hosting everything from meetings to extravagant parties with an excellence, energy and artistry that defies the staid conventions of traditional event planning.
The resort is a waterfront wonderland, located just moments away from Parc del Fòrum, offering direct marina access. A neighbourhood beach known only to locals and insiders is a five-minute stroll away, while the cultural landmarks and sights of Barcelona can be reached in twenty minutes by car (or boat, naturally).
