Hotel Arts is one of the most recognisable skyscrapers on Barcelona’s seafront. At 154 metres high and designed by architect Bruce Graham, it combines steel and glass in a façade that reflects the Mediterranean light. Inside, there are over 500 works of contemporary art, along with gardens, a swimming pool and dining spaces. The building is part of the waterfront redevelopment that reshaped the city for the 1992 Olympic Games. Since then, it has become one of the skyline’s defining features.
This is good to know
On the 43rd floor is one of the city’s best-known rooftop bars, serving inventive cocktails alongside panoramic views.
