SLS Barcelona is set in the up-and-coming marina district of Sant Martí, where contemporary architecture meets Mediterranean sea air. It’s a smart choice if you want a calmer home base than the Gothic Quarter but still be well-connected to the heart of the city.

Hop on a bus (300m away) or stroll to the nearest metro (about 1.1km) and you can be sipping cava off Plaça de Catalunya, wandering the Gothic alleys or exploring Park Güell and Gaudí’s icons in no time. Barceloneta and other city beaches are a short ride, while the waterfront promenade is perfect for morning runs and sunset walks.

La Rambla de Poblenou: approx. 2.9km
La Sagrada Familia: approx. 5km

Approx. transfer time from airport: 25–35 minutes by taxi/private transfer, 45–60 minutes by public transport (traffic dependent).

Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain

Food and drink are a real focus at SLS Barcelona, with a collection of bars and restaurants that wouldn’t look out of place in a stand-alone city hotspot.

L’anxova Divina Restaurant is the hotel’s signature Spanish à la carte, showcasing local flavours and produce at lunch and dinner, with highchairs available for younger diners. Lora Restaurant serves à la carte breakfast and lunch, blending market-fresh ingredients with live show cooking at breakfast and dinner.

Evenings can start (or end) at the sleek Lobby Bar or Kyara cocktail bar, where mixologists shake up contemporary classics in a low-lit, design-led setting. Outside, the chic pool bars keep sunbathers refreshed, and there’s a dedicated rooftop pool bar (seasonal) for sky-high sundowners.

Smart dress is often expected in the evenings and the hotel asks that beachwear is not worn in certain venues. Menus, opening times and whether reservations or supplements apply can vary by season and board basis. Information is based on previous seasons and may change.

Pool days here feel more like a beach club than a standard city hotel.

There are two outdoor freshwater pools, each with a generous sunbathing area dotted with loungers and indulgent Balinese beds for all-day lounging. One is set at ground level, great for a quick pre-sightseeing dip, while the rooftop pool (usually open 01 Apr–30 Sep) adds a glamorous, elevated option with bar service and skyline views.

Pool facilities and opening dates/hours can vary by season and weather. The nearest beach is roughly 2.2km away – an easy taxi or bike ride, or a longer stroll if you’re in the mood.

Wellness fans are well catered for at SLS Barcelona. The air-conditioned gym features cardio kit, a free-weights area and fixed strength equipment, while cyclists can take advantage of bike hire and cycling facilities (extra charge).

The spa brings a thermal circuit vibe to the city, with a sauna, steam room, Turkish bath, whirlpool and a range of massage and beauty treatments (all with local charges). Typical opening hours run between 10:00 and 20:00, but this can shift seasonally.

Around the hotel you’ll also find thoughtful extras such as a concierge, currency exchange, luggage storage, equipment hire (including bottle warmers, fans, kettles and toasters), English newspapers, motorised scooter charging and a shuttle service – some services incur a local fee.
