The Hoxton, Poblenou is a perfectly located basecamp for exploring Barcelona’s cool, coastal neighbourhood, but this city stay makes a strong case for staying in, too. Home comforts include an Italian American restaurant, a sunny wine terrace, and a rooftop pool where you can sightsee without stepping out — gaze at La Sagrada Família rising from the sea of terracotta roofs till sundown, when DJs set a laidback soundtrack as the city twinkles below.

Our favourite rooms

In the Roomy View, you’ll wake up to commanding vistas of the Sagrada Família. Homey and Homey Up rooms have plenty of space for families.

Poolside

The rooftop pool channels Catalunya via Cancun, with its retro parasols, lemon-striped cabanas and neighbouring bar and taqueria, but the panoramic city views should reorient you. Snag yourself a sunlounger peeping the Sagrada Família view during the day; later, head up for a sunset dip before an evening of laidback beats at the bar. The pool is open from sunrise till sundown.

Spa

There’s no spa, but the hotel has a partnership with a nearby gym. Staff can also set you up with a gym bag on request.

Packing tips

Slip a few rolls of film stock in next to the factor 50 — the retro rooftop bar and spire-spiked views deserve to be snapped on 35mm.

Also

The hand-woven tapestries that hang over the headboards were inspired by Barcelona's abstract architecture, so if your dreams take on a Modernisme bent, you’ll know why.

Pet‐friendly

Dogs are welcome in all room types at The Hoxton, Poblenou, but we think you’ll be more comfortable if you book a Biggy or Homey with your pup in tow. They’re allowed on the rooftop terrace at Tope, but not in the pool area. See more pet-friendly hotels in Barcelona.

Children

All ages are welcome. Biggy and Homey rooms have sofa-beds, the Homey Up has two bedrooms, and a baby cot can be added to all rooms for free. Kids’ menus, various baby kit and family neighbourhood guides are available on request.

Sustainability efforts

The Hoxton, Poblenou avoids single-use plastic, using canned water and refillable bath products; a minibar-free policy looks to reduce in-room waste. The restaurants work primarily with local suppliers, display the carbon footprint of all menu items, and have invested in tech to measure and track food waste. The hotel also supports local charities advocating for disability rights and working to end homelessness in the city.

Food and Drink

Top Table

At Tope, there’s no topping a sofa angled out towards La Sagrada Família. On balmy afternoons, sit out on Four Corners’ terrace.

Dress Code

Throw a flowy dress or a matching linen set over your swimwear at Tope. For Four Corners, palazzo pants might be the ultimate move — effortlessly cool, with plenty of room for pasta.

Hotel restaurant

Put a pin in any other weekend plans — the panoramic views at Tope, the hotel’s rooftop taqueria, elevate a night in to something extraordinary. At this local-favourite hangout, the cityscape backdrops free-flowing margaritas, a Mexican menu full of local produce and, from 6pm, laidback DJ sets.

Inspired by Italian American cuisine, Four Corners pairs warm hug-like dishes with an impressive natural wine list. Sit out on the sun-dappled terrace, tucking into lobster vodka pasta, lamb Milanese or chicken parmigiana Caesar salad, followed by tiramisu made with local craft coffee.

The hotel also has a pizza shop, where you can pick up a Detroit-style deep dish slice to snaffle on the go or back in your room.

Hotel bar

Tope is your spot for a birds-eye sundowner. Choose from margaritas, spritzes and perfectly cold cerveza, all best paired with copious guacamole and tortilla chips. The airy Lobby Bar has tapas and cocktails to tempt you, plus the pizza shop in tantalisingly close range. There are laidback DJ sets on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at the Lobby Bar, and from 6pm, Friday to Sunday, at Tope.

Worth getting out of bed for

The Design Museum of Barcelona charts the history of Catalan design through its collection of fashion, interiors and everyday objects. At Can Framis Museum, housed in a striking converted factory, you’ll find modern art by Catalan artists. If you’re on the hunt for art you can take home, El Poblenou is a trove of galleries and concept stores. The Rambla Del Poblenou is a pedestrianised street running through the heart of the neighbourhood; take a tree-shaded stroll down it, stopping at whichever pavement café calls to you. Sea and sand are never far away from your base at The Hoxton, Poblenou — Nova Icaria and Bogatell beaches are two quieter, family-friendly options, around a 30-minute walk away. And if you hadn’t spotted it from the hotel’s rooftop, La Sagrada Família is within easy walking distance, too — be sure to book well in advance.

Local restaurants

Barriteca is locally loved for its homely atmosphere and authentic Catalan tapas. Head to Little Fern for a wholesome brunch of kimchi pancakes, corn fritters or a shakshuka-topped Danish pastry, all with a focus on sustainability. At vegan restaurant Vrutal, plant-based doesn’t mean plain or predictable — between the moreish tapas menu and decadent burgers, not even the most committed omnivore could feel short-changed.

Local cafés

El Poblenou has a serious coffee scene. Nomad Frutas Selectas and Three Marks Coffee are two coolly minimalist café–roasteries, highly respected by the city’s bean buffs — and handily, each a 15-minute stroll from the hotel.

Local bars

With a legion of loyal regulars, natural wine bar Masa Vins is as feelgood as they come. The deliberately unstuffy atmosphere is down to the friendly staff, who set vintage records playing as they scrawl the day’s small plates on the chalkboard, plus a commitment to spotlighting sustainable, often women-owned wineries. Night club Razzmatazz sprawls across a converted factory; on a Friday night, you might find techno, Afrobeats, rap and garage repped across its five rooms.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this landmark-gazing hotel in Barcelona and unpacked their art prints and handmade pottery, a full account of their sea-swept city break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside The Hoxton, Poblenou…

The Hoxton, Poblenou has the power to transport. The hotel's in a lively Barcelona neighbourhood, but terracotta-floored rooms conjure a peaceful Mediterranean casa. Over pasta alla vodka at Four Corners, you’ll channel your inner Manhattanite. Ensconced in a lemon-striped cabana at the seasonal rooftop pool and taqueria, you could easily be in Mexico — if you ignore the Sagrada Família soaring above the city behind you.  

But why would you want to? The Hoxton’s reference points are international, but its main muse is the arty quarter it calls home. There’s a bodega stocked with the kind of goodies you’d find in a traditional Barcelona deli, and with bikes to borrow, it’s a breeze to explore El Poblenou’s galleries or freewheel down to the beach. So, even as you sip a margarita high above the city, you’ll feel thoroughly grounded in this cool Barcelona neighbourhood.
