Never been there and never will as with all your travels, but thru your eyes I already have. As I have said before, you take myself on journeys that I will never experience but thru your eyes I am ever appreciative of this, as I do experience them. You open the world to we that cannot go where you have been. Those like myself travel and see life thru you. What is happening in this world you give an outlet that I at least see an escape. Thank you for taking me with you again. Scotty, Canberra, Australia.
Barcelona certainly has the most interesting variety of architecture. This hotel was a little austere for my taste, but everybody in the comment section who has stayed here loved it. And the views were spectacular. My favorite thing was that majestic fish sculpture. I'll bet you experienced some new Michelin 2-star taste sensations--can't wait to read your review.! Wishing you the best Christmas and a very happy New Year. Many thanks for making it so much easier for me and your other devoted viewers to get through 2020 and 2021!
Beautiful hotel and your cinematography is as impeccable as always. I have never visited but it is now on my list as a probable stay - although I’d surely end up at the local Five Guys after that dinner… as astoundingly beautiful as the presentation is.
THIS RITZ CARLTON LOBBY & LOUGE LOOKED LIKE A BEAUTIFUL HOME! I LOVED ❤ THE BARTENDERS PROTABLE STATION GREAT HOSPITALITY!! THE SEPERATE SOCIAL POOL & PRIVATE PEACEFUL POOL ❤ THE SPA & THE VIEWS FROM THE SPA ALLURING!! DINNER LOOKED LIKE CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS 🎄
Yes! Have stayed here for several nights in lovely Barcelona! My favorite hotel in this area. It's within walking distance to the trains, downtown area and right on the beach. And I agree, the view of the sea from the bed is magnificent!!
Barcelona is one of my favourite cities…for the history and the architecture especially Gaudi. I have been there twice and really preferred where I stayed which was right in the Gothic District. I liked being immersed in that wonderful culture. I agree with the other comment which observed that that hotel has no soul. Too austere for me. Looking forward to watching your video on Sagrada Familia which is one of the most amazing buildings in the world. The genius of Gaudi!
Feeling sad , should be experiencing this in 3 weeks for 5 nights, will be our first time to visit Barcelona ( 3 overworked underpaid doctors here in US) because of the recent covid surge we have to cancel our Europe trip ,I have been to different Ritz Carlton in other countries but I love RC in Kapalua and Macau . Stay Safe!
Ive stayed there multiple times....love it. Your video did a great job describing it & showing it just as i recall. Excited to return with my kids soon :)
I absolutely loved the look of the food on the tasting menu! They’re works of art. I’d love to try a tasting menu sometime. Loved that writing desk in the room. I could imagine sitting there at night, looking out at the setting sun before the dimly lit night comes along…
I stayed @ Hotel Arts a few years ago and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I took hundreds of pictures on their grounds. During my visit they had a hip Jazz Station playing on the hotel channel which I listened to the entire time of my visit! However, I didn't really enjoy Barcelona and will never visit it again, nor recommend any of my Associates to visit. I didn't find their citizens to be that friendly, but Hotel Arts, 👍🏽👍🏽!
Some of those places you were at in the past weeks look like there was never any comfortable place to sit lol - for young people who don't care or aren't settled lol. Now we're back to comfort, nice finishes, and beauty.
A Manhattan doctor and wife went there. They live in the low 80's, east side, and the wife called and said she wanted to move in and stay there for the rest of her life. I thought WOW.
This hotel video review was an excellent use of my time. I've visited Barcelona 2x: once in '10 and again in '11. Both times were for embarking aboard cruise ships for Western Med sailings. The first time I stayed in Barcelona was at the Hotel Majestic for one night. The second time I stayed in the city was at Hotel Conde de Barcelona, which is located on the Passeig de Gracia in the Eixample district. During my second stay in Barcelona, I took several tours of the city and the surrounding area, and I agree with the reviewer: this is a very beautiful city to stay in and visit its sights, especially the buildings designed by favorite son Antonin Gaudi. Although I haven't stayed at Hotel Arts, it remains on my bucket list as a contender for a hotel stay. Question: does the hotel's description give any hint about the meaning of the X-shaped struts on the building's facade? Regarding the breakfast buffet, I noticed that many of the foods are serve yourself while other tourist places such as cruise ships are switching to servers-serving the food to the guests. Any indication about whether that will happen? Last thing: do you have any thoughts about other hotels in the city, e.g., the W hotel that looks like a giant sail at the entrance to the port? Thanks again for a great review of this incredible hotel.
I haven’t been to many Ritz Carlton locations, but I love Ritz Carlton Herzliya! You should definitely try it as well as Six Senses Shaharut in the spring-early summer season. :) Thank you once again for an excellent video!
Your videos are always excellent, often inspiring. Thank you for taking me to places I'll never get to see in real life! But, I have been to the Sheraton Four Points by the airport in Mesa, Arizona; Are you sure that's not where you filmed this? Shoot, I've been in Quality Inn rooms that were more comfortable than that room! That was an upgrade? I never imagined I'd watch a video about a Ritz-Carlton and think, "nope!" I'm sad you had to endure that on our behalf.
1. Great video as always! 2. Having stayed at the W on the other end of the beach there, I have a hard time seeing the appeal of the Ritz here. Don't get me wrong, it's well appointed and I'm sure the service is excellent - as it should be for a Ritz! But if you showed someone some of the footage and didn't tell them what hotel it was, they'd likely confuse this for one of many other brands first. Just seems too 'corporate' to me.
Stayed here about 15-18 years ago prior to a Radisson Diamond cruise. Did not have suite but rooms had amazing view of city. Don’t think that other tower was there so better views. Was so jet lagged did not explore grounds much.
Your videos are like a gift every time, you never know what to expect and they are fun to watch. And I liked the music you had in the beginning of the video. The hotel had lovely colors and lovely modern style. The dinner... Oh my gosh!! Must have been a pleasure to taste everything.❤️😍😘
I had this exact same suite when I stayed at this hotel 15 years ago. When I went into the bar the woman I saw were out of this world beautiful and the men very striking as well. Like something out of a movie this place. Madrid is nothing compared to Barcelona. I can just imagine the lifestyle famous footballers on Barcelona team have!
Wonderful!!! I love Barcelona, it is my favorite town in Europe. I also love the design of the hotel like all the design hotels in Barcelona. It is the mix of modern design and vintage. The food is crazy and what i also like is the breakfast style, very minimalist.
Love your films--stayed here for 5 nights in July. Pros-- Lovely Pool area and restaurant--staff here are second to none-seamless. Good location. Stunning breakfast room and very high quality breakfast--staff again excellent. Nice big gym which is always empty. Price point is excellent in comparison with MO and the dreadful W. Cons; Rooms are very dated with filthy windows-they wash them monthly alledgedly. There is nowhere to have dinner within the hotel except the Michelin Star restaurant which was only open on weekends. Room service simply not fit for purpose. After dinner cocktail bar was a little bit of a waste of space?! All in all considering the low prices good for a few days away--nothing more.
Acknowledging that people that have actually stayed here said they loved it, I kinda feel it would be like staying in an office block - cold and corporate. I’ve stayed in the luxury end of Marriott - St Regis and the Luxury Collection - and even at this level there is something missing, they lack soul. I think the luxury hotel traveller is looking for something more authentic, exciting, special, warm and unique - not just a corporate hospitality management model rolled out internationally.
Very nice ! At the Racecourse, a very extensive pair of trousers and shoes, shoes for your Beautiful Women Friend ! A quickie at the Hotel bar ! Say hi to the local officer/Consiergeo/Top Waiter Mr Anderson Cadman !
Great video. Amazing view from that suite. Decor seems a little cold IMO. Could do with a little bit of colour in soft furnishings perhaps. Still very nice nonetheless.
Like #142. No matter if it's the roof top pool or taking the video of shampoo in the bathroom. All of your captures get the same video capture respect.
you really stay in certain hotels of course but on the other you only visit the hotel and a room? how much does a partnership? bring you an advertisement is it a sum of money or simply the free stay?
May I ask how much did the dinner set cost you? Do you have a choice to order less food as I don't think I can even finish the 2nd desert let alone the 4th!!
Never been there and never will as with all your travels, but thru your eyes I already have.

Stunning but somewhere the ordinary person can only dream of
It's great to take this short trip before starting a new week

I stayed 2 months. Best and great hotel.

Feeling valued. When you’re confident, you know your strengths and how you can contribute to those around you. You have a sense of value and purpose.)
Stayed at this hotel back in 2004, it was the best hotel experience I've ever had
Yes I’ve been there and in my opinion it’s the most luxurious modern hotel

Those high rises in Barcelona look really nice, the bar/lounge area is my favourite..pour me a drink please 🍹.
🍾🥂
@@luxurytravelexpert This round of drinks is on me 💵💳
I stayed in this hotel few years ago
I have great memories and I loved the amenities especially the double mattresses in the bed
Lovely

I have stayed there twice…..it is beautiful, but the two towers connecting elevators took forever!!!! Our suite was fantastic!!!!
Wonderful. I wish I could stay there.
Excellent clip as usual and OMG, the Michelin dining experience..looks amazing. Thank you!
Love P41. My fav hotel bar.
I absolutely loved the look of the food on the tasting menu! They’re works of art. I’d love to try a tasting menu sometime.

Hemos estado dos veces en el Artz, un lugar verdaderamente elegante, y de muy buen gusto!! Saludos y gracias por compartir!!

Brilliant 5 Star Hotel rated no. 10.

impressive desserts

Just remember folks, he endures going to places like this so that we don't have to.

The music to your "lobby" footage reminds me of a between Vangelis and Hans Zimmer
Роскошное видео!!! Великолепный отель!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💞💞👍👍👍💯
Stayed here about 15-18 years ago prior to a Radisson Diamond cruise. Did not have suite but rooms had amazing view of city. Don’t think that other tower was there so better views. Was so jet lagged did not explore grounds much.
stayed in RC HK at 115th level and should admit that windows beneath the skies were cleaned better than in Hotel Arts in BCN))))

Beaıtiful place 🌴👍
Where are you.
Nice video
Thanks
You should go to Hotel Villa D'Este.
Tank you
Super

Hello Traveler, YAY Sagrada Familia !! How exciting for Christmas !! Hotel is beautiful. Wish Mr Henrik and Miss Olivia Merry Christmas !!
Wonderful!!! I love Barcelona, it is my favorite town in Europe. I also love the design of the hotel like all the design hotels in Barcelona. It is the mix of modern design and vintage. The food is crazy and what i also like is the breakfast style, very minimalist.
I totally agree!
I saw sea cucumber on the dinner menu and was very curious to see how it was prepared, though you didn't show it.
This hotel is stunning! I visited Barcelona a few years ago and knew I wanted to return.
Love your films--stayed here for 5 nights in July.
Pros--
Lovely Pool area and restaurant--staff here are second to none-seamless.
Good location.
Stunning breakfast room and very high quality breakfast--staff again excellent.
Nice big gym which is always empty.
Price point is excellent in comparison with MO and the dreadful W.
Cons;
Rooms are very dated with filthy windows-they wash them monthly alledgedly.
There is nowhere to have dinner within the hotel except the Michelin Star restaurant which was only open on weekends.
Room service simply not fit for purpose.
After dinner cocktail bar was a little bit of a waste of space?!
All in all considering the low prices good for a few days away--nothing more.
I completely agree with your pros and cons 👍
Are those pre made grilled cheese sandwiches for breakfast at 29:37? They look delicious.
0:27 what kind of architecture is that?
I stayed here for a week with Adele and she never shut up.
Acknowledging that people that have actually stayed here said they loved it, I kinda feel it would be like staying in an office block - cold and corporate. I’ve stayed in the luxury end of Marriott - St Regis and the Luxury Collection - and even at this level there is something missing, they lack soul. I think the luxury hotel traveller is looking for something more authentic, exciting, special, warm and unique - not just a corporate hospitality management model rolled out internationally.
Yes, architecture similar to the Sears (now Willis) Tower in Chicago.
ah my usual Saturday morning holiday : )
Hope you enjoyed it!
Very nice ! At the Racecourse, a very extensive pair of trousers and shoes, shoes for your Beautiful Women Friend ! A quickie at the Hotel bar ! Say hi to the local officer/Consiergeo/Top Waiter Mr Anderson Cadman !
Thank you for give us every week a wonderful video...
It's my pleasure
18.12.2021.Really first class and best.I am awaiting more hotels worldwide from you.Thanks and God bless you with good healh.
What is the building at 11:38? Another tower in the hotel complex, or a separate different building?
Different building
@@luxurytravelexpert Thank you.
Thank you for sharing another great video. I always like it your videos.👍👍👍💜💜💜
The stuff of fantasy... Thank you so much! Now I'm off to work ugh 🤣🤣Cheers & Please keep it up! 👍
Great video. Amazing view from that suite. Decor seems a little cold IMO. Could do with a little bit of colour in soft furnishings perhaps. Still very nice nonetheless.
Wow great.
Very nice video sharing 👍 my friend 🤠
This property lacks for nothing 😉
In which month was the trip?
September
Like #142. No matter if it's the roof top pool or taking the video of shampoo in the bathroom. All of your captures get the same video capture respect.
you really stay in certain hotels of course but on the other you only visit the hotel and a room? how much does a partnership? bring you an advertisement is it a sum of money or simply the free stay?
Beautiful keep going on
My favorite Ritz Carlton Hotel is Laguna Niguel
Great property indeed!
@@luxurytravelexpert Thanks for responding. Yes, it sure is . Location, style, views just wonderful
68th Like from my side, Superb Hotel and Great Video, Thank you!
spa music is
why are you allowed to film in this Hotel?
My kind of place.
Awesome
💚Thank You!!!👍🏽
May I ask how much did the dinner set cost you? Do you have a choice to order less food as I don't think I can even finish the 2nd desert let alone the 4th!!
It's a set menu (setting menu). And I got a 85 euros discount thanks to my booking via Virtuoso ;-)
@@luxurytravelexpert So it was like 500 Euro or something before the discount?!
Wait a moment. He took a public cab to the hotel? The hotel doesn't offer airport transfers?
I have the same content enter and watch
All the tongs people handled were lying on top of the food at the breakfast bar 🤢
I keep forgetting how little serving sizes are in Europe… kinda blows my mind
it's because that's a 10+ cousre meal in a michelin star restaurant. In normal restaurants sizes are much bigger for 2 course meals
Nothing spectacular
Would you please let me be your PA ? Oui oui
