The Restaurant at Hotel Arts Barcelona

"The jaw-dropping Six Senses spa occupies the top two floors, while dining options range from the open-air terrace restaurant to Michelin-starred chef Sergi Arola’s contemporary tapas place, Arola (closed Mon & Tues)"

"Located at water's edge, a 20-minute walk from the Ramblas, this hotel under the Ritz-Carlton umbrella has a lot to thank for its reputation: the best service in town, world-class restaurants, a Six Senses rooftop spa that's a shrine to pleasure with 43rd-floor views"

"But there’s much more to the hotel than paintings and sculptures—such as the peaceful terraced gardens, an outdoor swimming pool that overlooks a large Frank Gehry fish sculpture, a luxury spa offering panoramic views, and several excellent restaurants"

"Sergi Arola's tapas restaurant is a chic, postmodern culinary playground; Paco Pérez's starred Enoteca is the hotel's excellent flagship dining room"

"Chef Sergi Arola's 21st-century tapas have earned the restaurant many awards"

"The luxurious Hotel Arts Barcelona is a massive 483-room property with a huge range amenities like six in-house restaurants and bars, including two Michelin-starred restaurants, a 43rd floor spa, a modern gym, an outdoor pool and whirlpool, a hair salon, luxury shops, and business amenities, plus 24-hour room and concierge service"

"This light and airy restaurant, bedecked in white and wood, is far from pretentious"

"Services range from enticing spa facilities to six restaurants including fine dining in celebrated Enoteca, which has two Michelin stars"

"Closer by is the up-and-coming Barceloneta district, full of colorful bars and cafés and one of the city’s finest fish tapas restaurants, Cal Pep, where they menu changes daily to reflect the fresh catch"
