Fodor's Review:
This luxurious Ritz-Carlton-owned monolith overlooks Barcelona from the Olympic Port, providing unique views of the Mediterranean, the city, and the mountains behind. The hotel's main drawback is that it's somewhat in a world of its own, a short taxi ride from the center of the city. That said, its world is an exciting one. True to its name, fine art -- from Chillida drawings to Susana Solano sculptures -- hangs everywhere. Sergi Arola's restaurant is a chic, postmodern culinary playground. Pros: excellent views over Barcelona; first-rate, original art all over the halls and rooms; fine restaurants; general comfort and technology. Cons: a 30-minute hike from the nearest point of Barcelona, hotel feels like a colony of (mostly American) tourists apart from local life.
