Hello BArcelona,
The results of my research for “the ultimate luxury five star hotel”
in Barcelona, Spain are three:
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Arts Barcelona
La Gran Florida
The Ritz
Below you will find information for each one.
According to Spain for Visitors by John Ross, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel
Arts Barcelona is the most luxurious hotel in Barcelona.
“Perhaps the most luxurious hotel in Barcelona, it is a modern (read
"immensely tall") building overlooking the Port Olympic with what it
claims, probably without exaggerating, are "stunning views" over the
city or Mediterranean. The higher the floor your room or suite is on,
the more expensive it will be.”
“The Claris, the Arts and the Ritz are the three Gran Luxe hotels in
Barcelona. The Claris is actually a relatively new hotel in a former
palace, and aims at high art lovers, having a fabulous collection,
much of which is dotted around the hotel in the rooms and corridors.”

Boutique Hotels

The trend for boutique hotels is just beginning in Spain. In an
article in the Guardian dated January 25, 2003, La Gran Florida, is
said to be the best in Barcelona.
---------------
La Gran Florida
---------------
This Hotel is situated on top of Barcelona's Mount Tibidabo and opened
in April 2003.
This was one of the city's long-anticipated projects. Once a famous
grand hotel, it attracted guests such as Ernest Hemingway and James
Stewart. The Stein Group, which owns the Son Net on Majorca and
Blake's hotel in Amsterdam, renovated it for the past two years into a
74-room resort.

The Ritz
“Acknowledged by many as the finest, most prestigious, and most
architecturally distinguished hotel in Barcelona, the Art Deco Ritz
was built in 1919. Richly remodeled during the late 1980s (and
suffering a brief name change to HUSA Palace during the '90s), it has
welcomed more millionaires, famous people, and aristocrats--with their
official and unofficial consorts--than any other hotel in the region.
One of the finest features is the cream-and-gilt neoclassical lobby,
whose marble floors and potted palms are flooded with sunlight from an
overhead glass canopy, and where afternoon tea is served to the
strains of a string quartet. Guest rooms are as formal, with
high-ceilings, and richly outfitted as you'd expect, some with Regency
furniture; bathrooms are accented with mosaics and bathtubs inspired
by those in ancient Rome.”
