Hotel Arts Barcelona renovation continues through June 2027

Hotel Arts Barcelona has renovated bedrooms, but work in its shared spaces continues through June 2027. Before booking a pool or spa break, ask what will be available during your stay: a finished room does not give you the whole hotel.

The bedroom is ready. Plan the rest around your dates

The previous programme put September 2026 at the end of a phase affecting indoor and outdoor shared areas. The final works now run into June 2027. If your trip falls between those dates, the earlier deadline is no longer a useful booking assumption.21

The hotel continues to welcome guests as the work moves between areas. Bedrooms and suites, meeting rooms and parts of the public spaces have been transformed; selected areas remain subject to temporary or partial closures.1

The older programme named Marina Infinity Pool, the garden and 43 The Spa & Gym among the affected spaces. That is not a date-specific list for your visit. Send the hotel the facilities you want to use and ask for an answer against each one.2

What I would ask before booking

Ask before booking · 1Which pools, outdoor spaces and wellness facilities will operate during my stay?
Ask before booking · 2Will work take place near my room category, and at what times?
Ask before booking · 3Can the available facilities be listed with my reservation confirmation?

Other hotels to consider

If you want to change hotels, I would start with these.

The W Barcelona sail at blue hour, the port lights and the city behind

W Barcelona

For Sant Sebastià beach outside and NOXE high in the sail-shaped tower.

The trade-off

The W is also undergoing refurbishment: I would not choose it to avoid all work.

Why choose it

SALT Beach Club is closed until summer 2027: ask which pools will operate during your stay.
