Cohete — Grupo Tragaluz
Grupo Tragaluz's food-music-nightlife destination across two levels — garden restaurant, oriental Dim Sound Bar, the Cohete Club dance floor, hidden techno club G Spot, and a confirmed secret space for private events.
| Private Events | Confirmed — dedicated hidden events space for exclusive private formats, plus zonable club floors |
| Spaces | La Terraza garden restaurant · Cohete Club (Wed–Sat until 5am) + Dim Sound Bar · G Spot hidden techno club · billiard hall |
| F&B | In-house — international garden menu + authentic Shandong-rooted oriental kitchen (Marcelino Jiménez, 27 years with Tragaluz) |
Why CH3 Location Scouts Love The Space
- Dinner → disco bar → hidden club under one roof — the full evening arc without moving guests, rare in Barcelona outside hotel ballrooms.
- Tragaluz group behind it — professional operations, proper invoicing, and multi-venue leverage when negotiating.
- The 'secret space' angle is a genuine draw for token-holder and VIP formats where discretion sells the invite.
- Club floors run Wed–Sat — Sun–Tue buyouts of the club level will price attractively.
InterContinental Barcelona — Renewed Event Floors
Not a new address but Barcelona's newest large-format event product: a full rebuild of 3,000 m² of conference space crowned by the Verdi Ballroom — now the largest in central Barcelona.
| Max Capacity | 800 theatre · 500 banquet · 22 soundproofed meeting rooms across 3,000 m² |
| Flagship Room | Verdi Ballroom — ~800 m² open-plan with a 12-metre-wide screen; Rossini & Vivaldi breakouts flow to a garden terrace |
| In-House | 5G connectivity · digital signage · hybrid-ready AV · hotel banqueting · Cvent Top Meeting Hotels listed |
Why CH3 Location Scouts Love The Space
- The 12-metre screen in Verdi means launch-grade visuals without LED rental — the single biggest production line-item, gone.
- Breakouts flow to a garden terrace — outdoor networking without leaving the venue, unusual for a city-centre conference hotel.
- Fresh product, established operator: new rooms without new-venue teething risks — the safe choice for a flagship corporate programme.
- Near Fira Montjuïc/Plaça Espanya — the natural HQ for congress-week side events.
Kyara — at SLS Barcelona
The first Spanish project from Monica Berg and Alex Kratena of London's Tayēr + Elementary (No.4, World's 50 Best Bars) — a fragrance-inspired, post-modern cocktail bar inside the newly opened 471-room SLS Barcelona.
| Concept | Cocktails built like perfume accords · open Compounding Room studio · signature 'Martini Diagnosis' — a guided, personalised multi-sensory experience |
| Setting | Inside SLS Barcelona: new 471-room waterfront hotel with rooftop lounge and multiple dining concepts — hotel banqueting behind the bar |
| Hours | Wed–Sun, 18:00–02:00 · closed Mon–Tue |
| Format Fit | VIP welcome receptions, sponsor-branded cocktail experiences, high-end client hospitality |
Why CH3 Location Scouts Love The Space
- Berg + Kratena's name alone fills a guest list — for a drinks-industry, luxury or design-adjacent crowd, the invite writes itself.
- The Martini Diagnosis is a ready-made activation: a personalised, guided experience that works as event programming without any build.
- Closed Mon–Tue — the obvious window to negotiate a full private takeover of a World's-50-Best-pedigree room.
- Port Fòrum location — next to the Primavera Sound site; the natural VIP annex during festival and waterfront event weeks. Plan transport from the city centre.
Eleven BCN — NH Collection Gran Hotel Calderón
A 360° rooftop cocktail bar and pool terrace at 75 metres over the Rambla de Catalunya — Spain's first certified 'World Class Bar', with indoor and outdoor zones that shift from daytime lounge to evening cocktail floor.
| Space | Indoor bar connected by full-height glazing to an outdoor pool terrace · loungers reconfigure into evening cocktail corners |
| Setting | NH Collection Gran Hotel Calderón — hotel banqueting, group invoicing and Tablafina gastrobar (Santceloni alumni) downstairs |
| Format Fit | Welcome drinks, sundowner receptions and exec after-hours in the city centre · open to non-guests |
| Location | Eixample — steps from Plaça Catalunya and Passeig de Gràcia; guests walk from every central hotel |
Why CH3 Location Scouts Love The Space
- The most central 360° rooftop in the city — no transport planning at all; delegates walk over from Passeig de Gràcia offices and hotels.
- Indoor + outdoor at altitude — the glazed bar is a real weather plan, rare among Barcelona rooftops.
- NH Collection behind it: corporate-friendly contracting and the option to bundle rooms, dinner at Tablafina and the rooftop into one agreement.
- Pool terrace at golden hour is the photo that markets the event afterwards.
