Just a two-minute walk from the Mediterranean, this new Sofitel – the first in Spain – opened last fall: three years of careful renovation have transformed the old building into a flagship of the Accor group's upscale brand .
It is now here that a bit of the local “vida chic” plays out… In this contemporary district, at the gates of the marina and the Olympic village, the Sofitel Barcelona Skipper has the largest vertical garden in the city on its façade.
Inside, it is both a haven of peace and the epicenter of a very Catalan animation.
