This launch aligns with the brand’s commitment to delivering playful and immersive experiences, making it an exciting addition to the Catalonia capital.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, Moxy Hotels is thrilled to announce the opening of Moxy Barcelona, a key part of its ambitious growth strategy in Europe. “Barcelona’s dynamic blend of cutting-edge architecture, rich culinary culture, and vibrant artistic heritage creates the perfect backdrop for Moxy,” stated Brian Jaymont, Global Brand Leader for Moxy Hotels. “We are eager to welcome guests to immerse themselves in the unique Moxy experience.”

Moxy Barcelona draws inspiration from the city’s festive ambiance, infusing its design with references to iconic figures like surrealist Salvador Dalí, painter Joan Miró, and architect Antoni Gaudí. The hotel’s aesthetic marries traditional Catalan trencadís mosaics with a modern industrial flair, crafting an inviting atmosphere that reflects the local culture. Upon arrival, guests are greeted at Bar Moxy, the hotel’s lively heart, where they can enjoy a complimentary ‘Fouxy Moxy’ mocktail while checking in.

The Welcome Zone and Moxy Lounge serve as communal spaces adorned with illuminated signage and local maps, fostering a vibrant social scene for both guests and locals. Digital nomads will find inspiration in the Library and Plug-in area, designed for collaborative work or relaxing with friends.

With 414 well-appointed guestrooms, Moxy Barcelona emphasizes comfort and practicality. Each room features keyless entry, luxurious bedding, walk-in showers, and 55-inch HD Smart TVs, along with adaptable furnishings and smart technology. Guests can admire murals by local artist Sira Lobo, representing different neighborhoods in Barcelona, enhancing their experience of the city’s vibrant essence.

Highlighting the hotel is the tenth-floor rooftop, boasting a stunning pool and relaxation area with breathtaking city views. A rooftop Restaurant and Bar, set to open in early 2025 and created by the esteemed Grup Confitería, promises to deliver unique culinary and cocktail experiences inspired by the New Memphis style. This space aims to be a vibrant gathering point for both locals and visitors, featuring small plates that celebrate local flavors. For quick bites, Moxy Pick-Ups provides 24/7 grab-and-go snacks and beverages on the third floor.
