Ennismore, Accor’s playful joint venture arm of luxury and lifestyle brands, is making a splash in the capital of Spain’s Catalonia region.

SLS Barcelona is set to launch this winter in the revitalized Port Forum district, a trendy waterfront area that has evolved from a hub of industrial grit to a cultural hot spot. The property — which will feature 471 guest rooms and suites — will be the first European hotel for SLS Hotels & Residences, which opened its first hotel in 2008 in Beverly Hills, California. Since then, the brand has expanded to cities such as Dubai, Miami and Cancun, Mexico.

SLS Barcelona will feature waterfront views of the Mediterranean Sea, as well as private balconies and terraces in most rooms and suites. The hotel will have three swimming pools along with six bars and restaurants. Dining options include a tapas bar and a day-to-night pool club that will be the largest waterfront rooftop bar in the city, the SLS Barcelona team said.

Guest rooms and suites combine “luxe design and modern opulence,” with oversized headboards and mirrored glass, wood accents, white marble, and sculptural mirrors. Posh meets playful, one might say.

The hotel will be more than an architectural gem of a backdrop for your next cocktail or fabulous meal. SLS Barcelona will also offer a large wellness center so guests can stay on top of their fitness regimen; The spa is scheduled to open at the SLS Barcelona later in the early winter season.
