With Barcelona’s balmy April temperatures beckoning, Hotel Arts Barcelona is ready to open the doors to spring and sunshine with fun-filled family stays on the Mediterranean over the Easter break.

Located only a stone’s throw from the beach, the upscale urban retreat is the ideal base for families who want to keep their kids’ joy levels high and explore the city between scrumptious alfresco meals, Easter egg hunts and afternoons lazing by the pool. Groups of friends, in the meantime, will find a vibrant nightlife, independent shops and top-rated cultural sites all within walking distance, with soothing spa treatments awaiting weary heritage hunters at 43 the Spa floating high above the city.

Springtime dining at the hotel’s two terrace restaurants, Marina Restaurant and Lokal, comes with invigorating smells of the sea brought in by the breeze and comforting pool and garden views. Matching the alfresco experience are crisp Mediterranean flavours based around salads and light mains. Those who like their seafood will never run out of options either with everything from seafood paella, mussels in white wine and bacallà cooked to perfection with exquisite mastery.

The lavish Easter Brunch on April 17 at Lokal will span the large, family-friendly indoor space and the restaurant’s terrace, offering special welcome drinks and a bottomless buffet of classic local flavours and Easter specialties. For adults and kids alike, a mega-buffet overflowing with sweet treats from chef pâtissier Sylvain Guyez promises to be the pièce de résistance, while the Easter Bunny’s surprise hop-in will undoubtedly put an extra big smile on the faces of the little ones.

Throughout the Easter break, Hotel Arts Barcelona will be upping its already extensive Arts Kids programme with fun Easter-themed activities. Kids can have their fill of face painting and bunny mask-making workshops, Easter egg decoration and hunts, as well as enjoying surprise welcome amenities.

Families can choose from two Easter packages, each including family accommodation with stunning views of the shoreline and delicious daily breakfast with local specialties and organic products at Lokal restaurant. Balancing quality time together with moments of peace and quiet thanks to the supervised kids’ activities, the packages hit multiple sweet spots.
