Hotel
Hotel Arts Barcelona
A Ritz-Carlton tower hotel on the Port Olímpic seafront, with two outdoor pools, a fourth-floor spa and the two-Michelin-star Enoteca Paco Pérez.
A four-star design hotel from the Mallorcan shoe brand Camper, set in El Raval close to MACBA and La Rambla, aiming to feel more like home than hotel.
Good to know
Casa Camper is the hotel arm of Camper, the Mallorcan footwear brand, and it brings the brand's simple, playful design to a building in El Raval. Its stated aim is to blur the line between home and hotel, with an emphasis on uncluttered design and a relaxed Mediterranean feel.
The location is excellent for exploring on foot: the MACBA contemporary art museum, the Boqueria and La Rambla are all within a few minutes' walk, as are the independent shops and bars of El Raval. It suits design-minded travellers who value character and location over extensive facilities. Contact the hotel directly with questions before booking.
