Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: This tower of steel and glass rises amid century-old gardens. As guests step into the lobby, they inevitably look up the 15 floors of the elliptical atrium. Two open glass lifts operate at one end. Paintings by local artists hang in the area around the Aris bar and are for sale. Increasingly families are being lured to this otherwise predominantly business-oriented hotel for weekend stays.
Amenity highlights: The 'Royal Fitness' wellness and health center offers a gym, with exercise bicycles, other machines, and weights. In the same complex are two heated indoor pools and a 'wet zone' made up of jetted tubs, saunas, steam baths, aroma cabins, and hydro-massage showers. Staff are on hand to help with training programs and massages. Outside is a further heated pool, open year round (unlike the unheated outdoor pools elsewhere in the hotel grounds).
Insider tip: This modern tower hotel was raised on the site of what was once a sprawling farm. All that remains of it are the hotel gardens, which are a century old - dating to a time when Barcelona was a much smaller and distant city. The carefully manicured gardens are an oasis of peace in a hectic city and open exclusively to hotel guests.

Bright lighting and hardwood floors create a cheery atmosphere. Cuisine themes change daily, ranging from Catalan through Basque to seafood.
The Garden - Set in the exotic gardens, this restaurant offers modern Mediterranean dishes all year round.
Aris Bar - The hotel's nightlife takes place in this intimate bar with it Scottish styling. Low lighting, decor with red tinges and a hint of cocktail bars of old, with prints and other items on the walls. Cocktails and mixed drinks are the specialty of the house.
