Frommer's Review

Managed by the Ritz-Carlton chain, this beachfront hotel occupies 33 floors in one of Barcelona's landmark skyscrapers, directly facing the sea and the Olympic Village 2.5km (1 1/2 miles) northwest of Barcelona's historic core. The decor is contemporary and the spacious, well-equipped guest rooms have built-in furnishings; generous desk space; and large, sumptuous beds. (Four units are equipped for guests with disabilities.) Clad in pink marble, the deluxe bathrooms have fluffy robes, Belgian towels, dual basins, and phones. The hotel possesses the city's only beachside pool -- overlooking Frank Gehry's bronze Peix (fish) sculpture -- and its new in-house bars and restaurants, such as Arola, are jump-starting nightlife into the neglected Olympic Marina. The young staff are polite and hardworking, the product of Ritz-Carlton training.

Facilities:
4 restaurants; cafe; 2 bars; outdoor pool; fitness center; spa; business center; hairdresser; room service; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
