A Review of The Hoxton, Poblenou in Barcelona, Spain
"Opened earlier this year as the brand’s first venture into Spain, this 4-star hotel sits in El Poblenou and offers a relaxed, unpretentious vibe that feels like crashing at a friend’s place. Guestrooms are bright with floor-to-ceiling windows, warm tapestries, and terracotta floors that nod to the Mediterranean, while Catalan and Barcelona-based artwork adds local flavor. Public spaces are designed for lounging—casual staff, an open lobby, and a lively rooftop with a pool and panoramic city views (including the Sagrada Familia). On-site dining includes a ground-floor pizzeria and a rooftop Mexican spot serving tacos; amenities include air conditioning, bikes, parking, pool, two restaurants, two bars, room service, a rooftop terrace, and wheelchair access. The property has 240 rooms, rooms start around $170/night, and it places you within easy walking distance of the neighborhood’s pedestrian rambla, parks, and the beach."
