For a more relaxed yet equally polished setting, Bites serves international fusion cuisine throughout the day.

A restorative escape between nature and the Mediterranean
The hotel offers an outstanding collection of outdoor facilities so you can make the most of Barcelona’s sunny climate.

For a touch of greenery, water jets and lush planting create a soothing backdrop that’s a reminder that even in the city centre, tranquillity is within easy reach.
One of the hotel’s great advantages is its immediate proximity to the sea. With direct access to the beach, guests can relax on generous stretches of golden sand or try a range of watersports, from paddleboarding and jet-skiing to snorkelling, all organised by the hotel for an easy, enjoyable experience. As the day draws to a close, there’s nothing quite like a stroll along the water’s edge or a stop at one of the nearby seaside spots for a glass of Catalan cava. Between sea and greenery, your senses are fully engaged.
