Alenti Sitges Hotel & Restaurant

THE VIBE

Carlos Ferrater's restrained white volume on Sitges's central nightlife street: 23 rooms, minimal geometry, a rooftop pool that faces the evening sky.

THE BACKSTORY

In 2009 the Office of Architecture in Barcelona — OAB, led by Carlos Ferrater and his daughter Lucía Ferrater — was commissioned to build a contemporary corner building on Carrer Primer de Maig, a street whose name commemorates 1 May 1838. The three-storey structure combines Mediterranean vernacular with Barcelona's modernist lineage in compact, light-filled rooms; the project was published in El País in January 2010.

WHY NOW

As of 2026, the rooftop terrace and PECAT by Alenti restaurant are open seasonally, with the October Sitges Film Festival providing a natural anchor for a town-centre stay.

THE ROOM

The Deluxe Penthouse room has a private terrace with an outdoor whirlpool and chromotherapy lighting — worth the step up from Superior if the rooftop outlook matters more to you than floor area.

THE TABLE

Arrós a la sitgetana — La Nansa. La Nansa at Carrer Carreta 24 — 450 m from the hotel — is a well-regarded address for maritime cooking in Sitges: the arrós a la sitgetana is the town's canonical rice dish, and the restaurant is open as of 2026 (TripAdvisor 4.2 / 456 reviews). PECAT by Alenti (c.3.9) does not clear the threshold for an in-house recommendation.

THE SERVICE

The front desk operates round the clock and can arrange connections to the R2 Sud train to Barcelona Sants (c.40 minutes); the rooftop honesty bar runs without staff intervention.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Passeig Marítim and La Ribera beach: 400 m, approx. 5 minutes on foot. Museu Cau Ferrat (Santiago Rusiñol): 700 m, approx. 9 minutes. Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla church on the seafront promontory: 650 m, approx. 8 minutes. Sitges railway station (R2 Sud to Barcelona Sants, c.40 min): 1 km, approx. 13 minutes on foot.

HONEST CAVEAT

Carrer Primer de Maig is Sitges's busiest nightlife street — despite the hotel's stated sound insulation, rooms on lower floors are susceptible to noise on late weekend nights.

THE VERDICT

Ferrater's precisely cut volume ranks among the most architecturally considered addresses in central Sitges; 23 rooms hold a disciplined comfort without spa inflation. One weakness: PECAT by Alenti (c.3.9 on TripAdvisor) underperforms relative to the hotel's design ambitions. Best suited to travellers who want Sitges's old-town core without the full beachfront noise premium.

THE FULL PICTURE

The Office of Architecture in Barcelona — OAB, led by Carlos Ferrater and Lucía Ferrater — designed this corner boutique building in 2009 at Carrer Primer de Maig 19, Sitges's main pedestrian thoroughfare. The façade marries Mediterranean vernacular with a stripped geometry that stands apart from the late-nineteenth-century bourgeois architecture dominating central Sitges. El País published the project in January 2010, singling it out as one of the season's most considered new Spanish hotels.

The hotel's 23 rooms divide across Classic (15 m²), Superior (17 m²), and two terrace categories — Deluxe Penthouse and Deluxe Patio — each equipped with an outdoor whirlpool and chromotherapy. All rooms include complimentary Wi-Fi and air conditioning. The fourth-floor rooftop pool and honesty bar form the hotel's social centre in season; from here, Sitges's roofscape and evening light are at their best angle. The in-house restaurant PECAT by Alenti serves breakfast, tapas, and cocktails on a seasonal basis (as of 2026).

The location works on two scales: Passeig Marítim and La Ribera beach are 400 m away (approx. 5 minutes on foot), while Sitges railway station — R2 Sud to Barcelona Sants, c.40 minutes — sits 1 km to the east. Museu Cau Ferrat, Santiago Rusiñol's bequest of Modernista art and craft, is 700 m on foot. This compressed centrality is Alenti's principal argument: Sitges's 17 beaches, October film festival, and February Carnival are all accessible without transport logistics.
