W Barcelona, Modern luxury hotel in La Barceloneta, Spain
The 98-meter-tall sail-shaped hotel structure rises from the Mediterranean coastline, featuring glass facades that reflect the sea and sky throughout the day.
Architect Ricardo Bofill designed this landmark building as part of Barcelona's waterfront renovation project, with construction beginning in 2001 and opening in 2009.
The hotel holds status as a Cultural Asset of Catalonia, integrating contemporary design with Mediterranean influences through its architecture and interior spaces.
Located directly on Barcelona's beachfront, the hotel provides 473 rooms, multiple restaurants, spa facilities, and meeting spaces with sea and city views.
The distinct sail-shaped silhouette creates different visual perspectives from various angles, making it a recognizable element of Barcelona's coastal skyline.

A particularly impressive hotel for its exterior architecture and its location right on the sea. The hotel bar on the top floors is very sought after for its stunning view. The rooms are so modern that one can sometimes feel lost (where are the light switches?!).
