Arts Hotel Barcelona
Managed by the Ritz-Carlton chain, this magnificent beachfront hotel occupies 33 floors in one of Barcelona’s tallest landmark skyscrapers, directly facing the sea and the Vila Olímpica, 2.5km northwest of Barcelona’s historic core. The decor is contemporary and the spacious, well-equipped guest rooms have built-in furnishings; generous desk space; and large, sumptuous beds. Clad in pink marble, the deluxe bathrooms have fluffy robes, Belgian towels, dual basins, and phones.
