W Barcelona—often referred to as the Hotel Vela (Sail Hotel)—is an iconic landmark on the Barceloneta coastline, designed by architect Ricardo Bofill. With its sail-like silhouette rising from the edge of the Mediterranean, the hotel has become emblematic of contemporary luxury in Barcelona. Operated by W Hotels, the property blends bold design with panoramic sea views, offering a vibrant experience that fuses hospitality, gastronomy, and nightlife. Its interiors reflect W’s signature cosmopolitan flair, while the building’s architecture stands as a striking contrast to the surrounding urban fabric.
