Aparthotel Arai 4* Superior - Historic 18th-century palace with outdoor pool and luxury apartments in Gothic Quarter

Set in the ancient House of Four Rivers, this 4-star Barcelona hotel occupies a restored 18th-century palace in the Gothic Quarter. The heritage-listed building features stunning frescos, a black and white marble floor, and a restored wrought iron arch by craftsman Angel Rull at the main entrance. Aparthotel Arai 4* Superior houses 31 apartments, each equipped with a kitchenette containing a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker. The property includes a rooftop terrace with city views, an outdoor swimming pool, and a gym with sauna. The Palosanto neotavern serves traditional tapas and innovative dishes, with outdoor seating at George Orwell Square. A private meeting room, decorated with a 5th-century Roman mosaic, accommodates up to 15 participants. The Arai stands within 1640.4 ft of Las Ramblas, La Boqueria Market, and Barcelona Cathedral.

Pros

Pet-friendly accommodations with luxury dog amenities from Trixie brand

Historical architectural elements including preserved frescos and coffered ceiling

Black slate bathrooms with silver pyrite from India

Personalized Guest Relations & Concierge service

Cons

Limited parking options in the narrow surrounding alleys

1.5 miles distance from Sagrada Familia

“What strikes me is the blend of historic architecture and modern comfort, especially within the family rooms featuring fully equipped kitchenettes; also, the rooftop pool provides a serene escape. I appreciate its prime location near Las Ramblas and the Picasso Museum, but, more than that, the hotel's artful decor enhances the building's character. It is a solid choice for experiencing Barcelona.”
