Nobu Barcelona

The place

A modern glass building in the Eixample, its interiors shaped by New York's Rockwell Group — opulent, with Japanese influence running through every floor. The 259 rooms and suites hold a white and earthy palette, set off by intricate millwork and touches of travertine and leather.

The crown of the hotel is its rooftop: a plunge pool and sundeck with the Barcelona skyline sweeping past. A 24-hour fitness center keeps comprehensive equipment ready below. And on the 23rd floor, the iconic restaurant sets a contemporary Japanese menu with local touches.
