Popularly known as the Hotel Vela, W Barcelona is one of the most luxurious and stylish hotels in one of the most dynamic and exciting cities in Europe. Its 24 floors, reflective glass façades and distinctive shape make it an avant-garde icon of stunning architecture, designed by world-renowned architect Ricardo Bofill.

Located on the beachfront along the famous Barceloneta boardwalk, the five-star hotel rises high above the Mediterranean Sea offering a unique contemporary experience to its guests. It comprises 473 rooms, 67 suites, a spa and fitness centre, indoor and outdoor pools, terraces, beaches, bars, restaurants, dance rooms, and unveils spectacular panoramic views over the Mediterranean and the city of Barcelona.

Nice contributed to the realisation of this outstanding project with its Neostar MA tubular motors, which were installed in the hotel rooms for the automation of interior blinds: the best way to filter strong sunshine while ensuring an ideal use of natural daylight in the rooms.
