Hotels Ariana Grande Has Stayed At

Art takes several forms at Hotel Arts Barcelona, from views of Frank Gehry’s golden El Peix sculpture beside the gardens to handcrafted headboards by Lorena Canals in the renovated rooms. The steel-and-glass tower stands on the Mediterranean waterfront near Port Olímpic, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the sea or city skyline. Rooms start at approximately 485 square feet, giving their curved furnishings, geometric lines, and Mediterranean colors room to register. Landscaped gardens and two outdoor pools extend the hotel toward the water, while Enoteca Paco Pérez gives dinner a distinct sense of place: its two-Michelin-starred cooking draws on ingredients from the Mediterranean, gardens, and mountains.

Three petal-like forms twist skyward at Crown Sydney, giving Wilkinson Eyre’s Barangaroo tower a sculptural presence on the harbor. That unusual shape carries through to the accommodation, where room layouts vary and interiors by New York studio Meyer Davis pair natural and aqua tones with a residential feel. Views of Sydney’s skyline anchor the experience, whether from the rooms or the heated harbor-facing pool with its private cabanas. Restaurants including Nobu, a’Mare, and Woodcut give guests reasons to linger over dinner, while Barangaroo’s parklands, public art, and laneway bars provide a neighborhood to explore beyond the tower.
