The Hotel Meliá Barcelona Sky is a hotel skyscraper at Carrer de Pere IV, 272, in Barcelona. It stands at the junction of Avinguda Diagonal and Carrer de Pere IV, in the Poblenou district. The architect Dominique Perrault designed it.
Construction began in 2004 and was completed in 2008. The tower is 116 meters (381 feet) tall, has 31 floors and contains 258 rooms. It is the fourth-tallest building in Barcelona.
The building is still a hotel. Its tall, plain façade has also made it a target for climbers. Alain Robert climbed the exterior in about twenty minutes on June 13, 2017, and Marcin Banot repeated the climb on August 2, 2018, in 59 minutes.
