Eleven Bcn cocktail bar design was a challenge on many levels. The new Eleven Bcn cocktail bar is located on the pool terrace of the NH Collection Gran Hotel Calderón, boasting panoramic views of the city of Barcelona. The iconic building, constructed in the 1970s, was part of the cultural movement known as La Gauche Divine in Barcelona during that decade.

Eleven Bcn cocktail bar design draws inspiration from the aesthetics, social context, and contemporary spaces of the era, incorporating works by artists such as Leopoldo Pomés and Xavier Miserachs. The bar, positioned as the central nucleus of the space, connects with the exterior through large windows.

The cocktail bar is designed to adapt to both daytime and nighttime atmospheres. A green-blue color scheme is employed throughout the ambiance to achieve a fresh and elegant look. The dark oak laminate parquet flooring, detailed ceiling work, and nighttime spot lighting contribute to the duality of the space.

The furniture, mostly custom-designed, aims to break the linearity of the space and create different corners. It is characterized by straight lines, rational forms, noble materials with glossy nuances, and low height to reinforce the lounge concept. The bathroom stands out for its visual impact, using mirrors as the main cladding material and circular windows that connect with the outdoor perspective.

Outside, the impressive views of Barcelona are maximized. The interior design uses neutral colors, highlights vegetation, and features comfortable and versatile furniture. During the day, the area is equipped with sun loungers that are rearranged at sunset to create cozy corners where guests can enjoy a cocktail while admiring the city lights.
