Hotel Arts Barcelona, Barcelona, Catalonia
Overlooking the beach in Barcelona, close to the Parc de la Ciutadella and city zoo, the Hotel Arts, a Ritz-Carlton property, is a luxurious contemporary option for family holidays and breaks in Spain's second city - you'll spot the distinctive building with its iconic golden fish sculpture as you fly along the coast towards the airport.
A stone's throw from the historic centre and all its family-friendly attractions, the Arts is ideal for a family city break by the sea. As well as hotel rooms, there are some stunning duplex self-catering apartments. The lovely garden terraces house a gorgeous pool and a hot tub the size of a mini swimming pool, and there's a blissful spa on the 43rd floor, with fabulous views.
