What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Inside, it is maximalist in the best way: bold lines, glossy textures, and a flirtatious energy that runs through it all.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Moored at Port Fòrum beside Parc del Fòrum, the hotel sits steps from quiet local sands and a quick tram ride into central Barcelona.
The rooms
Every room opens onto a private balcony overlooking the water, framed by oversized headboards, mirrored cocktail bars, and bright marble bathrooms.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A subterranean pool sits beside a cascading water curtain. Upstairs, the main infinity pool looks over Port Fòrum marina.
The spa
Treatment rooms feature soaking tubs and marble vanities for clinical skincare rituals developed with Barcelona-based SEPAI.
Thermal suite and gym
A Starpool thermal suite centers on a circular stone plinth, and the 24-hour gym provides Matrix strength equipment.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Kyara shakes fragrance-inspired cocktails under an amber canopy, and Lora serves coastal Mediterranean plates from a wood-fired oven.
How it began
Opened in 2025 as the brand's European debut, the property makes a bold statement behind an undulating, wave-inspired Mediterranean facade.
