SLS Barcelona occupies the Port Forum waterfront at the eastern edge of the city, where the Mediterranean meets Barcelona's more recently developed shoreline. The hotel holds 471 rooms and suites, a large share with private terraces, set within a design language built on marble surfaces, sculptural mirrors and theatrical detailing typical of the SLS brand. Multiple pools and a spa sit alongside dramatic event spaces and a varied line-up of restaurants and bars, giving the property a scale closer to an urban resort than a conventional city hotel. Sea facing terraces run along much of the upper floors.
