The Barcelona EDITION, Marriott's acclaimed luxury-lifestyle property, has firmly established itself as a benchmark for sophisticated hospitality since opening in 2017.
In partnership with visionary hotelier Ian Schrager and developer KKH Property Investors, Marriott introduced its signature EDITION brand—blending bespoke service with refined, contemporary design—to the bustling heart of Barcelona. This collaboration has resulted in a property that embodies the intimate, curated, and highly personalized experience for which Schrager is renowned.
The 100-room Barcelona EDITION boasts an enviable location in the vibrant Ciutat Vella district, steps from the iconic Santa Caterina Market and within easy reach of Barcelona's celebrated beaches. Guests enjoy seamless access to the city's historic attractions, cultural landmarks, and thriving culinary scene.
“Launching our third EDITION hotel in Europe in such a dynamic and cosmopolitan city has been a defining moment for our brand. Following the celebrated launches in London, Miami Beach, and New York, Barcelona was a natural progression, reflecting the brand's continued momentum across Europe,” shared Dan Flannery, Global Managing Director of EDITION Hotels.
The transformation of a former office building into this modern luxury destination was realized through the creative collaboration between Ian Schrager and renowned Spanish designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán, resulting in a space that exudes both local character and global sophistication.
The property features three distinct destination restaurants, a vibrant lobby lounge, a stylish club, and an acclaimed rooftop bar offering panoramic views of Barcelona’s skyline. Each venue has become a magnet for both international travelers and local tastemakers, further cementing the hotel’s reputation in the city’s social scene.
Ian Schrager remarked, “Expanding the EDITION footprint to Barcelona was a deeply personal project. The city’s energy, artistry, and cultural gravitas make it the perfect setting for our next chapter of luxury hospitality.”
With Barcelona joining the EDITION portfolio, the brand now boasts a presence in global hubs such as New York, London, Miami, and Istanbul, with continued expansion across Asia, the Middle East, and beyond. The Barcelona EDITION stands as a testament to Marriott’s commitment to redefining contemporary luxury for today’s discerning traveler.
