The welcome to Barcelona is given by a wide and flirty bar, where the body asks to start the stay with one of its cocktails.

In the menu, it has them common to all its hotels, but it also offers unique creations in each destination.

The

Torino spritz

is the step prior to

checking in

at the newly opened hotel in

Poblenou

, a neighborhood in full swing that fits wonderfully with the philosophy of this chain where flexibility is the luxury that works best.

Here there is no rush to leave the room and no need to make time to get settled.

If notified in advance,

you can extend your stay for a few hours free of charge

(beyond the 12:00 noon that is traditional) and you can also enter before 3:00 p.m. without any problem.

At the Hoxton, which has chosen Barcelona as its first venue in Spain, they break with the status quo in many small details, which generally make the difference.

Breakfast is a letter

and there is also no gym.

They do plan to organize yoga sessions on the roof or meet up to go for a run, but everything according to the needs of the clients.

We return to the lobby, the space around which the life of the hotel (this one and all the others: London, Amsterdam, Chicago...) revolves.

They understand it as a place open to the city, where

everyone is welcome

.

In the morning, its spaces are filled with people with laptops who

come to telework,

while in the afternoon the atmosphere is painted between beers and lively conversations.

gastronomic temptations

At

Four Corners

, which also has a terrace, they offer delicious Detroit-style pizzas in whole portions or giant portions;

Hard to resist the

burrata and bologna.

There is also a pizza shop and a grocery store with shelves full of temptations, whether it be Espinaler chips,

Morro Fi

's personalized vermouth and Camprobon cookies.

Here too they break the trend;

prices for everything in the lobby are more than reasonable.

The rooms, all with lots of natural light, transport to the Mediterranean, with a palette of

soft colors and floral prints

.

They have five categories, with the

homie

being the perfect option for families or long stays.

In the minibar you will only find water and milk;

if you fancy anything else, you can go to the colmado.

From the pool, located on the

rooftop

, the views of the city are unbeatable.

At sunset, nothing like enjoying

some tacos and a margarita in Tope,

with the Sagrada Familia on the horizon.

The Hoxton wants to be part of the neighborhood in which it settles, it is its essence.

Their commitment to small

artisan and local brands

can be seen in their store in front of the reception, where they show off

Brava Fabrics shirts,

Etnia Barcelona sunglasses, Rowse organic cosmetics and LOT Roasters chocolates.

Life is still in the lobby.

VINTAGE FURNITURE AND COMMITTED BRANDS

Each Hoxton hotel is designed with the environment in mind in order to be a part of that reality.

In Barcelona they have chosen vintage furniture made by local manufacturers and works by emerging independent artists.

It also has two spaces, L'Apartment and La Cava, for events and meetings.

In the latter, it is worth seeing the mural by local artist Sandra Modrego.
