Hotel Arts Barcelona
If you’re walking north along the Barcelona beachfront from Barceloneta it’s hard to miss Frank Gehry's glistening Paix (Fish) statue sitting right at the foot of Hotel Arts. As a part of the Ritz-Carlton family it’s no surprise that it’s large and luxurious, with all the five-star staples: spacious and well-appointed rooms and suites, a pool, gym, spa with a view and fine dining.
They go the extra mile with their family program, starting with little touches such as gifts on arrival for kids as a part of their “Ritz Kids” program and extending to Luxury Family Packages that do change but usually include special rates on their two- and three-bedroom suites, airport transfers and butler service. This hotel also has a focus on accessibility, with larger, 32-inch-wide door openings and easily navigated routes to the hotel’s restaurants and registration desk.
Location
Just north of Barceloneta, this purpose-built sliver of a district is bound by beaches on either side with boats docked out front in its square-shaped marina. It’s within easy walking distance of sprawling Ciutadella Park and accessible via the Ciutadella/Vila Olimpica Metro station.
Carrer de la Marina, 19-21, Barcelona
