Melia Barcelona Sky towers above the creative, techy neighbourhood of Poblenou, a former industrial zone turned cool hub of co-working spaces, galleries and craft coffee spots.

You’re moments from Diagonal Avenue for easy connections across the city, with a bus stop about 120m away and a metro station roughly 720m from the door. Head east and you’ll hit Mar Bella’s sandy shoreline and beach chiringuitos; go south-west for the iconic Eixample grid, La Sagrada Familia and Passeig de Gràcia’s designer boutiques.

It’s a great compromise if you want beach access without sacrificing skyline views and a quieter, more local-feeling base than the busy Gothic Quarter.
