Hyatt Regency Barcelona Tower
Editor's Pick

Rogers does elegance without apology: a glass-and-steel tower crowned with a dome that reads like a landed UFO.

Skyscraper hotel in Bellvitge, L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona.

Featured in Richard Rogers's definitive monograph, Richard Rogers: Complete Works.

Visitor Guide

Visitor Tip

Skip the daytime corporate vibe—come in the evening and go up to the Skyfall venue if it’s open; it turns the building from object into experience.

Best Photo Spot

From Plaça d’Europa with the tower isolated against the sky; shoot at dusk so the dome crown glows and the cylindrical shaft reads cleanly.

Access & Hours

Hotel public areas are accessible; guest-room floors are for guests. Skyfall (at the top) operates as a public venue on many nights (hours vary by day; expect evening opening).

Insider Note

That crown isn’t just a silhouette flex—it’s a structural/MEP resolution point where the building ‘finishes’ its vertical systems with a single, legible cap.

Time Needed

30-75 minutes

Design & Structure

GeodesicTessellation
Computational Process

High-rise hotel planning with a strong infrastructural logic: services disciplined into a repeatable vertical system, while the top becomes a programmatic and skyline marker.

Materiality

Glass curtain wall + metal structure; the dome/crown is the key architectural material moment because it declares the building’s ending in a city full of unfinished-looking towers.

Structural Innovation

A stable vertical core-and-frame tower capped by a lightweight dome-like crown; engineering here is about making the skyline gesture buildable and maintainable.
