We stayed at the Arts for an extended weekend trip recently with out children. The location is fantastic, the view from the higher floors is great, and the children loved the pool and the jacuzzi. The place is also clean and most things worked fine. What I found utterly missing at this place, though, is some (any!) sort of soul.... More

My husband and I just returned from two nights at Hotel Arts in Barcelona. We wanted a luxury hotel which also included a pool, so that we didn't have to run around the city and could just relax when we wanted. The hotel was perfect for this. We were really impressed with the staff—all very nice, personable and accommodating. Staff... More

I did not stay in the hotel. I just stayed a while by the pool, took some sun and got 2 milkshakes and a coca for 38 Euros.. Pool suprisignly small for such a big hotel and guests could rarely find a free sun chair.

Ok, so it's supposed to be 5 star but I suppose that's down to personal experience/interpretation. Lots of attentive and polite staff, with no hanging around for tips, so top marks for that. Room was clean and tidy with super comfy bed and quiet, so a good nights sleeep (7th floor). Bathroom was one of the best I've had. Did... More

I knew from the previous reviews that the hotel was going to be great, and I wasn't at all disappointed. The property is just beautiful. and although I was a little concerned about the location, we ended up loving it. Lots of restuarants and cafes on the Med right there. So it certainly wasn't isolated. We took cabs into the... More

This was our second stay at the Hotel Arts. We stayed for 3 nights before a Crystal cruise. We were debating whether to stay in Town or back at the Hotel Arts which is on the water. We made the right decision. The hotel is absolutely lovely. The view of the water is breathtaking. The hotel is located one block... More

We stayed here at the Arts, A Ritz Carlon Hotel in early October 2011 for 2 nights on a romantic weekend break from Dublin. This was our second visit to Barcelona, but our first stay at the Arts Hotel by the beach. Having been met by the hotels driver with a Mercedes S Class [ ordered BMW 7 series ]... More

I was here for the World LNG Series event organised by CWC. The venue is very plush and prestige and quite flawless to be frank. Stunning location next to the Marina and easy transport links. The rooms are clean, tidy, top end and not to be faulted. The food is exquisite and on point. Customer service is superior and the... More

We stayed here for 3 days (8 - 11 May, 2012). Liked: - First impressions (nice hotel foyer, beautiful flowers). - Nice and fairly big rooms, but it seems rooms need updating. - Friendly staff. Baffled: - No free drinks in the room, no welcoming flowers, no fruits and nothing free extras. - Non-quality bath accessories from China. - Strange... More
