It features <strong>4 stars</strong>, has <em>99 rooms</em>, was built in 1917 and restored in 2002. As this is not a hotel guide I am not going to analize its services but just suggest you admire the beautiful marquee in blue with stained glass, excellent representative of Catalan Art Nouveau or <em>modernisme</em>."<br /><br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_NBURjQnk7ss/RopS-Envy6I/AAAAAAAAANA/YTfv7Ql79g0/s1600-h/Hotel+regina.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_NBURjQnk7ss/RopS-Envy6I/AAAAAAAAANA/YTfv7Ql79g0/s400/Hotel+regina.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5082966355786845090" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5152137301714487819-1920233132127923294?l=bestbarcelonahotels.blogspot.com'/></div>Carlos Lorenzocarloslor@gmail.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5152137301714487819.post-20186100617527613862007-07-01T15:23:00.000+02:002007-07-03T15:34:18.063+02:00<A HREF='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6967/794/1024/PICT0121.jpg'><IMG SRC='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6967/794/400/PICT0121.jpg' border=0 alt='Hotel Arts: Accommodation in Barcelona' style='cursor:hand'></A><br /><br />This first post has been taken from my main site Barcelona Photoblog with the sole intention of creating a useful guide to best Barcelona hotels including better pictures (better than the average tourist guide image), aerial maps and directions among other things. It will start as a sort of experiment that I will try to nourish in between my daily publishing at my personal photoblog homepage.<br /><br />"Today I show you <strong>Hotel Arts</strong>. Built for the Olympics, it is a predominant building in the skyline of Barcelona and the beach area. A combination of luxury, modern design and functionality, gives this <strong>five star</strong> hotel a high rank in toplists all over the world. Recently you could see Harrison Ford or Mourinyo staying there. It was the place where Ronaldinho lodged when he first came to Barcelona. The <strong>Ritz-Carlton Hotel Arts Barcelona</strong> was designed by the notable architecture firm Skidmore Owings and Merrill and it has <em>44 floors</em>. <br /> <br />See <a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6967/794/1600/hotel%20arts.jpg"><strong>Hotel Arts</strong></a> Picture on a Google Earth Map"<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5152137301714487819-2018610061752761386?l=bestbarcelonahotels.blogspot.com'/></div>Carlos Lorenzocarloslor@gmail.com0
