Hotel Arts Barcelona beachfront luxury hotel
Elegant rooms, spa facilities and stunning sea views
Why we love it
The setting
Hotel Arts Barcelona stands right on the seafront at Port Olimpic, with Somorrostro Beach about 160 metres from the door. The Frank Gehry fish sculpture sits on the grounds, and the marina and its waterfront restaurants are a short walk away. You are out of the dense centre yet still close to it, with wide promenades for early walks along the Mediterranean.
What to expect
The hotel occupies one of the city's tallest towers, so rooms sit high above the coast and many face the sea. Interiors are calm and contemporary, with pale tones and plenty of natural light. There is an outdoor pool beside the beach, a spa, several restaurants and a bar. Rooms come without meals as standard, so you can add breakfast at booking if you want it.
Things to do nearby
Somorrostro Beach and the Golden Fish sculpture are on the doorstep, both within about 160 metres. Port Olimpic and its marina are around 300 metres away for seafood dinners and evening drinks. Nova Icaria Beach is a little further along the coast. For the famous sights, Sagrada Familia is 2.6 km inland, reachable by a short metro ride or taxi.
Best for
Couples after a beach base with city access. The seafront position, sea-view rooms and pool suit a relaxed four-night break, with the metro on hand for the main sights.
