Best for beach-lovers
£££ HOTEL ARTS
One of Barcelona’s greatest assets is its
beach, and there’s nowhere better to enjoy it
than the city’s original ‘design’ hotel, which
opened in 1994 just a pebble’s throw from the
sand. Inside this landmark 44 -storey tower
is contemporary glamour wherever you look,
from the oversized chandeliers and marble
floors in the lobby to the rooms with their
quietly sophisticated taupe and ivory decor,
Asprey bathroom products and breathtaking
views of the Med. Tuck into two-Michelin-
starred fare at the restaurant or unwind in
the superb rooftop spa. Bored of the beach?
No problem — choose from the hotel’s two
outdoor pools instead.
ROOMS: From €3 30 (£2 74 ).
