Immerse yourself into the world of art and witness more than five hundred original art objects without leaving the hotel by staying at the Hotel Arts Barcelona, located on the Mediterranean coast not far from La Barceloneta. The hotel is impossible to miss due to Frank Henry's sculpture, a 52m-long goldfish located right at the hotel entrance. The sculpture is perhaps the most impressive piece of art at the Hotel Arts Barcelona. This giant goldfish, located just at the foot of the hotel and seemingly ready to jump into the blue waters of the Mediterranean, is a truly stunning sight. The sculpture is made from the same steel exoskeleton as Hotel Arts and complements and strengthens the tower and its presence while creating a public space that fits beautifully with the hotel's functions. Frank Gehry's fish is magnificent during the day as sunlight is reflected off the scales of the sculpture and, combined with a dazzling waterfront view, it creates a truly unforgettable scene.

A hotel like that could only appear in the city of Joan Miro and Antonio Gaudi, as the city is saturated with their vision, inspiring the creation of new
masterpieces.

Hotel Arts Barcelona is a unique resort combining genuine luxury with personalized service and true sophistication, delivering unforgettable culinary, wellness and art experiences. The hotel itself is a timeless icon and a prominent feature of Barcelona's skyline.

Here the ultra-stylish design collides with the luxury of a Mediterranean lifestyle. The hotel is designed by Bruce Graham, the famous architect
known for his involvement in many aspects of developing the city of Chicago, from city planning to bringing great public art to the city. Hotel Arts features 44 floors of exposed glass encased by a steel exoskeleton, being the tallest structure in Barcelona and boasting stunning panoramic views from its unique location on the waterfront.

Art is the core of Hotel Arts Barcelona. The resort aims to immerse its guests in the city culture as it features over 500 pieces of original art by contemporary Catalan and Spanish artists throughout the property. The hotel art collection includes works by Manolo Valdes, Luis Feito, Jose Manuel Broto, Perico Pastor and many other distinguished artists of the region.

Guests can find original pieces of art in every area of the hotel. For instance, P41 Bar, named for Parallel 41, the latitude where the city of Barcelona is
located, features striking art installations, including one by the multidisciplinary artist Inocuo rendered in ceramic. Inocuo's artwork represents a liquid mapping of parallel 41, reinforcing the core concept with a flight-map layer of copper fibres that radiate from crucial points of Parallel 41 like a global metadata network, capturing the true essence of the venue.

The interiors of the Hotel Arts Barcelona penthouses deserve special attention. They were created by Jaime Tresserra, the well-known Catalan designer, who played with shape in his designs through the employment of the revered arts of hand-craftsmanship and artisan, and through the utilization of only the highest quality materials. Designer's signature material is Spanish white walnut, a richly textured wood that Tresserra manipulates with a variety of
hand-applied natural varnishes. Painstaking details and an elegant aesthetic make staying in Hotel Arts penthouse an exceptional experience.

Hotel Arts is named like that for a reason. Art is the hotel's common thread and leitmotif. With such a strong focus on art and design, Hotel Arts
Barcelona aims to immerse guests in the culture of the city of Barcelona and transforms their stay into something remarkable. However, the art approach is not limited to the interior and exterior of the hotel. Art can be found everywhere here. Whether it's haute cuisine from gastronomic artist Paco Perez at the Enoteca restaurant or the signature spa treatments at the 43 the Spa, the hotel's exceptional service is also a particular form of art that deserves attention.
