The entry is quiet, mediating the boundary between the hotel and the street with a garden of tall bamboo trees behind a rammed earth-inspired wall. Shinto gates are abstracted around the entry vestibule in the form of bright orange, woven screen, which continues inside to create porosity between outside and in. The double-height lobby features textured limestone and wood. A large piece of art behind the check-in desk features a dramatic brushstroke—a touchstone of Nobu. A small lounge exists between the lobby and bar, and the bar and main lobby lounge flank the lobby as two minimal gridded wood pavilions. 

A grand stair connects all the public areas (ballroom, meeting rooms, lobby) and is accentuated by a large art piece that is suspended in the stairwell. The monumental, rough stone lobby bar is lined in pale, gridded wood with simple joinery. Cracked stone with gold infill covers the faces of the central columns. The lobby lounge has a similar gridded wood framing to the bar, but stained indigo blue.

Elevators are clad in three dimensional walnut and gold tiles. There are rammed earth-inspired panels in the elevator lobbies and the restaurant core.

Some meeting rooms feature views down into the hotel lobby, for a casual, connected feel. Wood cabinetry and lacquer panel accent walls combine with sliding wood panels for connecting or separating rooms. A brushstroke pattern carpet climbs up onto the walls and ballroom doors, creating an immersive experience.

Guest corridors have a vibrant, saturated gradient of green to blue wallcovering. A large, continuous brushstroke on the carpet guides guests to their rooms. In the guestrooms, a millwork wall with geometric bronze framing has a closet, TV, bar, and desk. Bronze detailing also defines the bed area, which has a wood and leather headboard and footer. A custom plaster art piece hangs above the headboard in a signature Nobu “swoosh” pattern. Bathrooms have luxurious slabs of stone and travertine with bronze inlay details and frameless glass panel showers. Suites (2 bays or 4 bays) have sofas that sit on plinths and millwork in saturated lacquer colors, with an overall moodier feel than the guestrooms. 

The Presidential suite has a central, sculptural Japanese tea hearth made of rough carved stone. Bathrooms feature slab stone and cedar wood, and include a traditional Japanese soaking tub separated from the shower area by ceramic tile screens.

Nobu Restaurant sits atop the building with 360-degree views of the Catalan Capital. A kintsugi-inspired ceiling has suspended live-edge walnut panels with gold “cracks” in between. A cracked blue ceramic ceiling over the backlit onyx bar complements columns clad in highly sculptural blue and white ceramic kintsugi-inspired sculptures. The sushi bar has river rock feature wall.
