Backstory
New York studio Rockwell Group transformed a 1970s office tower into a destination hotel through the lens of kintsugi.
Wellness
A black granite rooftop pool offers panoramic vistas as the highest outdoor swimming spot in the city.
Eat & drink
The 23rd-floor restaurant features a live-edge walnut ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the entire Barcelona skyline.
The neighborhood
Set beside Sants Station, the hotel serves as a serene urban retreat within walking distance of Montjuïc’s cultural parks.
“The Nobu brand, today, is synonymous with more than sushi — with the advent of the eponymous hotels, the name now calls to mind a collection of chic, luxurious modern hotels, in addition to chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s trademark Peruvian-Japanese cuisine.”
“Nobu caused a stir when it opened next to Barcelona’s unfashionable Sants railway station in 2019. Since then both the hotel and the area have had a glow-up.”
