Hoxton, Poblenou
Postmodern Mediterranean — sun-soaked Bofill-inspired palette, terracotta and concrete textures, curved arches, faded floral furnishings, handpainted murals. Think Barcelona-cool rather than Barcelona-traditional. Attracts a mix of design-literate locals and in-the-know international guests.

Why It Matters
The first Hoxton in Spain and the only one with a Homey room category (practically an apartment, with kitchenette and dining table). Designed as an explicit tribute to Ricardo Bofill, whose studio was nearby. The rooftop pool with unobstructed Sagrada Família views on one side and the sea on the other is genuinely hard to beat. Opened 2022.
The Hoxton's first Spanish outpost landed in Poblenou in 2022 and it does not blend in quietly. The entire 240-room hotel is a love letter to the late Catalan architect Ricardo Bofill — soaring arches, curved bar faces, terracotta floors, peach plaster walls and geometric tiles everywhere you look. It's the most visually distinct property in the Hoxton portfolio, and probably the most fun. The neighbourhood was once a textile and industrial hub; now it's galleries, concept stores and the kind of independent coffee shops that take their beans very seriously. The hotel sits right at home here.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Biggy
The Biggy earns its name at 30 sqm — there's a sofa bed alongside the super king for extra guests or just spreading out properly. Good for families or friend groups who want one room. Can be configured as twin beds plus sofa bed on request.
Super King (or 2 Twins + Sofa Bed) · 30 sqm
Homey
The Homey is exclusive to this property and is genuinely apartment-like at 46–49 sqm. A separate lounge area, kitchenette with dining table, and a standalone bathtub alongside the shower. Super king bed plus sofa bed. Good for longer stays when you want to cook occasionally and not eat every meal out.
Super King + Sofa Bed · 47 sqm
Homey • Up
The largest option at 55 sqm, with two double bedrooms off a shared living area — giving genuine privacy for families or travelling friends. Kitchenette, dining table, and the same warm Bofill-influenced aesthetic. Can be configured as two super kings or a super king plus two twins.
Super King x2 (or Super King + 2 Twins) · 55 sqmRoomy
The entry-level room and still genuinely comfortable. 22 sqm means there's enough space to move around, with a king bed, floor-to-ceiling windows flooding the room with natural light, a walk-in shower and statement headboard. Terracotta floors and faded floral textiles throughout.
King · 22 sqmRoomy • Tub
A touch more generous (23–28 sqm) than the standard Roomy, and the key upgrade is both a walk-in shower and a bathtub. Super king bed, floor-to-ceiling windows, the same terracotta and faded-floral aesthetic.
Super King · 25 sqmRoomy • View
Same footprint as the Roomy but with corner floor-to-ceiling windows delivering exclusive views of the Sagrada Família across the Barcelona rooftops. Super king bed. The view is the whole point here.
