We stayed at the Hotel Arts in Barcelona 15 years ago and just stayed there again this month and loved it as much as we did the first time. It’s a beautiful hotel in an excellent location (both times our room looked out over the Gehry sculpture and the water). The staff is top notch- very professional but friendly too. The rooms are spacious and well designed.

We have very limited experience at Ritz Hotels but we’ve never been particularly impressed. Except for this one.
