Hotel Arts Barcelona

Our family of four—two adults and two young children (ages seven and three)—spent an unforgettable New Year at Hotel Arts Barcelona, and we couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment we booked, the communication was exceptional. The hotel reached out well in advance to coordinate our airport pickup and ensure that any needs we had would be met upon arrival. This level of attentiveness gave us a great first impression before we even stepped through the doors. Originally, we had booked a club-level stay, but due to renovations, the club lounge was closed. Instead, we were upgraded to a penthouse, and what an upgrade it was! The penthouse was a true sanctuary—spacious, luxurious, and offering breathtaking views of the city and the Mediterranean. As a family that enjoys five-star hotels but sometimes finds them less child-friendly, we were thrilled that Hotel Arts Barcelona welcomed children with open arms. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, ensuring that both our kids felt special throughout the stay. While not in the very heart of the city, the hotel’s location at Port Olímpic was perfect for us. It offered a peaceful retreat away from the city’s hustle and bustle, yet was still well-connected. The beach was right there—lively even in December—and there were plenty of nearby amenities, including a mini-market and an ice cream shop. Taxis were always available, and the hop-on-hop-off bus stop right outside made sightseeing easy. Walking into the city was doable but a bit long with young kids (about 30 minutes). From check-in to check-out, the service was flawless. Staff members went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, and no request was too much trouble. Little thoughtful gestures—like treats left in our room, personalized notes, and even a sweet surprise from the ‘Tooth Fairy’ when our son lost a tooth—set this hotel apart from even the best five-star experiences we’ve had, including in Dubai. The two-floor penthouse was a dream. With two spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an elegant living and dining area, we had plenty of room to relax. After a busy day exploring, it was the perfect place to unwind. Room service was excellent—especially on New Year’s Eve, when we enjoyed a quiet family dinner with a bottle of wine from our in-room collection. One of the highlights of our stay was The Pantry, a hidden gem within the hotel. The food was exceptional, the menu carefully curated, and the pricing very reasonable for the quality of both the cuisine and service. My husband and son enjoyed it so much that they ate there six nights out of seven! The only night we didn’t was New Year’s Eve, when we opted for room service. The breakfast selection was one of the best we’ve had. From freshly squeezed vegetable juices to an extensive variety of options catering to all tastes, it was inclusive and beautifully presented. Most importantly, the staff made our children feel truly welcome, always engaging with them and making the experience even more enjoyable. Hotel Arts Barcelona exceeded our expectations in every way. The service, location, food, and attention to detail made it one of the best hotel experiences we’ve ever had. We truly felt at home, and the way the staff cared for our children made all the difference. We will absolutely be returning, and we can’t thank the hotel team enough for making our Christmas and New Year so special.

Hotel Arts Barcelona, from the moment you enter this mesmerising hotel you truly enter a world of luxury met with an outstanding welcome. The staff were exceptionally warming upon arrival, we were welcomed with a lovely glass of cava and children with a freshly infused drink. The lobby is so mesmerising with perfection to detail in the plants, chandeliers and inviting seating area. The rooms are astonishing with a real luxurious feeling, modern bathrooms and contemporary decor. Very impressed with the sea view room which had amazing speakers and ample space. We were so kindly offered an upgrade and the penthouse did not disappoint although a little dated compared to the newer rooms. Room service was so prompt and rooms exceedingly cleaned daily and towels replenished as needed. The chocolates on the pillows in the evening were a very cute touch. The breakfast was particularly enjoyable with a menu to order from and a beautiful spread buffet hosting sweet treats, cheeses, and local bread. Coffee was superb and it was lovely to finish up with some mimosas too. The Bar in the lobby was really inviting and the drinks super creative and infused with interesting flavours. Would definitely recommend a visit. The Spa at 43 was incredible, the staff so welcoming and private access to the water room with an incredible view was amazing. The massage was one of the best I have ever experienced. The location of the hotel offers an ample of local restaurants, access to the beach and taxis always available for a trip to the inner city. Perfect location. On a personal level I would sincerely like to thank the hotel for making my son’s 18th Birthday truly a memorable one, you exceeded our expectations and as an avid traveller Hotel Arts is one of the best hotels I have ever visited. My sincere thank you to Mr Bernat, your humble service will always be remembered. Ms Enzhe, thank you for all the recommendations and your exceptional service. Mr Francisco, thank you for the most warmest welcome and super attentive service we have ever experienced. Paula, Clare, and the amazing lady at breakfast welcome who always welcome the family. The staff across the hotel from Breakfast to Concierge are amazing and simply can’t do enough to make your stay perfect in every way, we will definitely be back next year (if not sooner) :)

This hotel is stunning! We enjoyed a gorgeous view of The Mediterranean! The sunsets are incredible. The Ritz never disappoints. Wonderful front desk staff and the servers in the restaurants are warm and welcoming. We could not have asked for a lovelier experience! Thank you!
