About W Barcelona
W Barcelona, designed by Ricardo Bofill, rises at the far end of the Barceloneta boardwalk, and its 473 rooms and suites look over the Mediterranean and the city. COYA is on the mezzanine and NOXE, the bar, on the 26th floor. Until late spring 2027 the ground-floor public spaces and floors 1 to 6 are being renovated; COYA and NOXE stay open throughout.
