Arai Aparthotel Barcelona
The hotel’s 31 guest rooms are simpatico with the public spaces, in that the original building materials come through in a natural way, without overpowering the modern flourishes. Exposed beams make the big rooms seem positively cavernous, and the high ceilings allow for some fairly stunning floor-to-ceiling windows. The spare furniture complements the more off-kilter choices, such as the columns that flank the king beds, to produce a sort of half-rustic, half-urban grandeur. This aesthetic mind-meld is best expressed in the bathrooms, where steel and glass meet stone walls in shades of charcoal.
To make up for the lack of on-site dining, each room is equipped with a kitchenette. For the full luxury-apartment trappings, three top-floor suites feature private terraces and hydromassage baths. The outdoor pool isn’t exactly Olympic-sized, but it’s as neat and charming as the rest of the hotel. If you get restless, Las Ramblas is a few minutes away, along with all the dining and drinking that the heart of Barcelona has to offer.
Please note: Arai Hotel does not have a restaurant, and does not offer food service of any kind (breakfast, lunch or dinner).

Aria Aparthotel became our home for three days while in Barcelona. Incredibly helpful staff assisted us when we landed there, checking in to ask if we like our room. Room was reasonable sized with a small kitchenette. Comfortable bed and great shower, located in the Gothic Quarter with easy access to the historic center and sites, and the subway to other parts of the city. Our 3rd floor room overlooked a busy square which was quite noisy through the night. However our phone’s white noise app mostly blocked out the noise. We were also so tired each night from epic walking and touring around that we fell asleep quite quickly despite any street noise.
The vibe and design
The reception staff were wonderful.
