Staying at the Hotel Arts Barcelona, which has just undergone a considerable refurbishment, is one of those experiences. It may seem minor, but the staff at the Hotel Arts Barcelona and their openness to sharing a small slice of their story, made us feel more at home than any level of pomp or false prestige ever could. What makes this offering particularly special however, is this hospitality unfolds in the context of a beautifully redesigned hotel. Perched on the shores of the Balearic Sea, the Hotel Arts boasts some jaw-dropping panoramic views. These can best be seen from many points across the hotel, but most notably in the Club Lounge and the newly renovated, sea-facing rooms.
