Hotel Arai Barcelona

Four-star superior boutique aparthotel located in Barcelona's historic center in the heart of the Gothic Quarter inside the triangle formed by Las Ramblas, the Cathedral and Barcelona's Port. Purchased in 2012 by Derby Hotels Collection, this renovated former eighteenth-century palace completely preserves the character and beauty of its original architecture. The result is a luxurious hotel that showcases works of art from the private Clos Foundation collection as well as a seemingly endless range of objects and photographs uncovered during the building's renovation. The aparthotel boasts a meeting room, terrace, swimming pool, solarium, gym and sauna in addition to its 31 exclusive rooms that provide a sense of elegance and comfort through down to the smallest details.

The finest materials combined with seventeenth-century brick walls, nineteenth-century hydraulic tile headboards, tables made from the building's old wooden beams and wardrobes with doors saved from the palace's former balconies. Restored wooden shutters as decorative elements and recovered lintels and engraved stone are displayed as works of art. *Pets: only small dogs.
