Perched on Barcelona's waterfront, the hotel has been reimagined with a softer, more residential atmosphere, where carefully curated interiors invite guests to experience the city through a renewed sense of comfort and sophistication.

As part of this transformation, nanimarquina has supplied almost 500 rugs, most of which are featured throughout the hotel's suites and guest rooms, where they enhance the warmth and character of each space. Alongside Tres, one of the brand's most iconic collections, two bespoke designs were created exclusively for Hotel Arts Barcelona: Waves and Micado.

Developed in close collaboration with the design team, Waves and Micado were conceived to reflect the identity of the project, translating the rhythm of the Mediterranean landscape and the architectural language envisioned by Meyer Davis into handcrafted textile surfaces. The bespoke rugs establish a subtle dialogue with the surrounding interiors while bringing texture, warmth and a distinctive sense of place.

The inclusion of Tres further enriches the spaces through its understated palette and tactile character. Inspired by the beauty of natural fibres, the collection complements the hotel's refined materiality, adding depth and softness throughout the interiors.

More than decorative elements, the rugs help define intimate environments within the hotel's contemporary architecture, reinforcing a vision where craftsmanship, thoughtful design and hospitality coexist naturally. The collaboration with Meyer Davis reflects a shared commitment to timeless design, exceptional materials and spaces that create a lasting emotional connection.
