The 30th floor of Barcelona’s Hotel Arts is home to a new suite offering the most dramatic views of the Mediterranean Sea, as well as the city. Local architect Josep Juanpere of GCA designed the 150-square meter one-bedroom suite featuring a lounge area with a fireplace, dining room, kitchen and an open bar. The bathroom comes with dressing room and bathtub overlooking the sea. The décor is kept minimalist using cream, brown and stone colours, with furniture picked from B&B Italia. Highlights include the delicious breakfast, well-stocked minibar, butler service, use of the Hotel Arts Electric Smart Cars, as well as the multi-lingual staff that speak a total of ten languages.
