Expert reviews
“This luxurious Ritz-Carlton-owned, 44-story skyscraper overlooks Barcelona from the Port Olímpic, providing stunning views of the Mediterranean, the city, the Sagrada Família, and the mountains beyond.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Barcelona.
“This landmark hotel from the waterfront makeover for the Olympics occupies the lower 33 floors of a 44-story skyscraper and is known for its contemporary art collection.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Barcelona.
“Originally built for the 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympics, this 44-story steel-and-blue-glass exposed-beam skyscraper designed by Bruce Graham on the Mediterranean has become an icon of the city. The views are stunning, either out to the sea, toward the city or in some cases, both.”
“A thoroughly modern-looking five-star hotel positioned right on the beach, the Arts is one of Barcelona’s original luxury hotels. Its traditional attitude makes for excellent service, and its eating and drinking choices are second to none. Public areas are enlivened with original artwork and huge floral displays.”

Excellent and will definitely return again
I like the hotel close to the beach and have a nice good view. Staffs are helpful and assist to sort out my reservation. House keeping did an excellent job to keep the room clean. They are also attentive to small details.
The shower cubicle drain is clogged and water cannot drain properly. It flooded to the other bathroom area. I believe the drainage should maintain better form time to time.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Hotel ARTS ! The room was spacious and comfortable, the breakfast was delicious, and the view was simply breathtaking. The staff went above and beyond — they were so helpful and even spoiled me with thoughtful surprises throughout my stay. I truly felt cared for in every way. I’m already dreaming about coming back to this beautiful hotel!

Amazing hotel. Great location Gorgeous Pools perfect view woukd highly recommend
The property was gorgeous, clean, bright. Location was perfect. Our room was stunning with a great view. Staff was so genuinely helpful and friendly. Best hotel we’ve ever stayed at.
Food was pricey. Pool menu was not extensive. No kids meal. So if kids are happy and swimming there wasn’t much to buy them to eat.

Great location Great hotel Very helpful and friendly staff you only had to ask and they would help Breakfast was very good but we were in a rush to catch our flight so could not enjoy the experience

Staff were incredible, construction a big disappointment.
The staff were incredible, Marie (from Holland) and Maya (from Saudi) delivered exceptional service. They were both interns yet were absolutely fantastic and are both a credit to their respective hospitality schools.
The level of construction taking place - I wasn’t aware the hotel is under refurbishment and had a giant yellow crane and scaffold / lift shaft directly outside of our window. No mention of this at check in nor the intermittent building works and associated noises.

The views were amazing, the room décor was a little tired but spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We really enjoyed the breakfast - there was a lot of choice and the staff were very helpful and attentive.
It would have been nice it the pool was heated. A few children braved it but there were no adults. The jacuzzi was heated so we headed there but there was no shade nearby so a little tricky to stay with the children. Another small quibble was that bread was brought with our lunch, we didn't order it, didn't want it but then got charged for it! When I raised it I was told it was just 'part of the service' and if I was unhappy I should raise it with the manager.

Staff was amazing, upgraded our hotel room. In general everyone was very nice. Best service I received at a hotel stay. I left my jacket and when I came back for it they were able to get it for me extremely fast!
Prices was expensive for similar stays I had. Due to location there should have been connections with clubs nearby.

The hotel is very clean and the staff are very attentive and professional. A big shout out to Michele from the front office who went out of her way to make our stay extraordinary. The housekeeping and in room dining staff were also great, not forgetting the staff at the ground floor who welcome visitors with smiles every time of the day. The room we had was great and had a panoramic view of the city and the sea. I highly recommend this hotel to anybody who wants the best of everything.

Location is excellent. A few metro stops or a pleasant walk to many sights. Very secure. Friendly staff,
We were charged for an additional half of our stay after checking in and paying in full. The amount was refunded when we brought it up but a request to speak to a managerial staff after it happened went unanswered. We had to call housekeeping one day to remind them to come clean the room
