About us
Leave the urban excitement of Barcelona behind. Sofitel Barcelona Skipper is a welcoming verdant oasis that exudes elegance at the gateway to the city’s Gothic Quarter. Once you’re through the doors, the bustle of this vibrant city disappears and La Vida Chic takes over. Each room and suite at Sofitel Barcelona Skipper is an ode to French elegance and local luxury; a private Parisian apartment by the sea in Barcelona. Views feature green gardens, cityscapes or the swimming pool leading down to the beach and the scintillating horizon beyond. Tapas take an innovative turn at TENDIEZ restaurant & bar. Inspired by local artists and created from fresh, locally sourced ingredients by talented chefs, these attractive snacks are meant to be shared in the cheerful dining room or outdoors on the poolside patio. ElCielo rooftop bar is the place to be at sundown for romantic drinks with magnificent views over the Mediterranean. The following morning, Syrah restaurant lets you wake up gently in its garden with your breakfast of choice. Not one, but two idyllic swimming pools to choose from. One features lofty views of the Mediterranean and Barcelona from the rooftop. The other is a short sandy skip from the beach at ground level in the peaceful courtyard.

BARCELONA BEACH
Recreation
1 min
One of the (many) reasons we are utterly obsessed with Barcelona is the fact that this city does both. Here, you get all the perks of inner city life, from fabulous bars to world-leading restaurants, with a healthy dose of holiday beach time too.
Barcelona has beautiful beaches in abundance, with everything from sunbathing spots to surfing, basketball courts and ping pong. After all, this city gets more than 300 days of sun every year, so there’s no better place to soak up some rays.
GOTHIC QUARTER
Historical landmark
2 kms
With its iconic, old-Europe streets and alleys, this picturesque neighborhood is the very heart of Barcelona. It blends historic artifacts from its days under Roman dominion up through the Spanish Civil War with a vibrant modern-day culture of artisan shops and authentic culinary experiences. Avid explorers will be thrilled to discover quaint terraces and plazas brought to life by the many small bars and local musicians lasting late into the night. Fashionistas will be drawn to Portal de L’Angel, which is lined with well-known brand names and smaller boutique stands.
MONTJUIC
Recreation
7 kms
Montjuic is a prominent hill overlooking the Barcelona harbour. For ages, it played a strategic part in the defense of the city and it's one of the city's natural elevations. Nowadays, the area is a touristic magnet and one of the top places to visit in Barcelona.
There are so many things to do in Montjuic you just can't miss on your trip to Barcelona!
Ride in the Montjuic Cable Car to get to Montjuic Castle and witness the best views of Barcelona or visit the Olympic Park featuring the main facilities of the 1992 Olympic Games.

FUTBOL CLUB BARCELONA STADION
Recreation
10 kms
Camp Nou was FC Barcelona's home since officially opening on 24 September 1957. Barça's Camp Nou stadium replaced the former FC Barcelona of Les Corts which had a capacity of just 48,000 and became too small for fans of the team led at the time by legendary Hungarian star Ladislao Kubala. The Camp Nou stadium was built from 1955 to 1957. Originally the official name was ‘Estadi del FC Barcelona’, but it soon got the nickname 'Camp Nou' (the ‘new ground’). This name was not made official until the 2000/2001 season after a postal vote made by club members and since then ‘Camp Nou’ has been the official name of the stadium.
Capacity:
The current capacity is 99,354 making it the biggest stadium in Europe. When it was first opened in 1957 the capacity was 93,053 spectators. This was later increased to 120,000 in 1982 for the FIFA World Cup. New regulations outlawing standing areas reduced the stadium’s in the late 1990s to just under 99,000. The work to transform and build the new Camp Nou is under wa
