Sunset Hospitality Group has officially unveiled METT Barcelona, a bold reinvention of one of the city’s most storied heritage properties.

The hotel features 70 luxury accommodations, including:
- 35 Deluxe Rooms
- 14 Junior Suites
- 21 Suites
Every room reflects a Mediterranean-inspired design, blending fine natural materials, abundant light, and breathtaking views of the Barcelona skyline and the sea. Six panoramic terraces create versatile spaces for relaxation, socializing, and unforgettable sunsets.
