Barcelona By Bike: Cycle to the City's Restaurants & Hotels

"Don't let the original sgraffito façade of the Arai Aparthotel Barcelona mislead you: while preserving the essence of the original building, this place utterly embraces the contemporary in its 31 elegant and modern apartment-suites. Each one comes with a fully equipped kitchenette, which is perfect for preparing breakfast or satisfying any hunger pangs during your stay. As well as being a true work of art in itself, this late 18th century building, which is listed as part of the city's architectural heritage, has a plethora of artworks scattered throughout the premises, providing a true feast for the eyes. The easiest way to travel through the Gothic Quarter's network of narrow streets, in which this hotel is ensconced, is by bike. And if it's hot, guests can cool down on arrival by taking a refreshing dip in the charming open-air swimming pool on the rooftop." - The MICHELIN Guide
