Hotels Own Introduction
where city energy meets coastal calm
Rising above the Mediterranean and shimmering in steel and glass, Hotel Arts Barcelona is a modern icon that redefines the boundaries between city and sea. Perfectly poised on the beachfront yet steps from the urban pulse, it is both a cosmopolitan retreat and a coastal sanctuary — a rare balance of culture, creativity, and calm.
an artistic urban resort
As Europe’s only artistic urban resort, Hotel Arts celebrates the dialogue between art and life. Contemporary design, curated collections, and a spirit of creativity infuse every space, inviting guests to experience Barcelona through the lens of imagination and elegance.
light, space, and sweeping views
Each guestroom and suite is designed to frame the beauty of its surroundings — the glimmering sea, the modernist skyline, or both. Bathed in natural light, interiors combine contemporary sophistication with a soothing palette that reflects the Mediterranean spirit.
gastronomy in every shade
Dining at Hotel Arts is a journey through taste and tradition. From two-Michelin-starred excellence to timeless Catalan classics, the hotel’s restaurants and bars express the richness of Barcelona’s culinary identity. Rooftop cocktails, beachfront lunches, or chef-led tasting menus all offer a distinct sense of place.
gardens, pools, and mediterranean wellbeing
Amid lush landscaped gardens, two serene pools — one infinity, one family-friendly — create moments of unhurried relaxation. At Arts Wellness, rejuvenation unfolds through Mediterranean-inspired rituals, blending movement, balance, and the soothing rhythm of the sea.
a landmark of luxury and lifestyle
Hotel Arts Barcelona stands as one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks — a place where guests can escape the city without leaving it. Whether exploring Gaudí’s masterpieces, discovering local markets, or unwinding beside the water, every experience here is framed by art, elegance, and the unmatched warmth of Barcelona’s Mediterranean soul.
