The 44 storey (483 room) Hotel Arts can be found at the end of the Marina board-walk  (map) with imposing views back over Barcelona, or uninterrupted views out to sea. It is one of a handful of iconic buildings standing out in the skyline. The latticework steel frame, gives the building a slightly high-tech industrial appearance, but inside it is all luxury, as you would expect from a Ritz-Carlton Group owned hotel.
It was built in 1992 to coincide with the Olympic Games, by architect Bruce Graham of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. In 2006 it underwent an extensive interior refit. And in 2012 they have just completed the redesign of their panoramic suits, designed by Josep Juanpere of GCA 
If you are wondering about the gigantic fish sculpture, it was designed by american Architect Frank O. Gehry. You can sit by the pool sipping a cocktail and admiring its beauty.
Hotel Arts positions itself as a luxury category  so you might not be surprised by the prices starting at 300 euros a night right up to 7,000 euros.
