Hotel Arts Barcelona, the landmark five-star hotel overlooking Port Olímpic, has entered a partnership with one of football’s most revered clubs. The collaboration introduces a match-day experience that places guests at the very edge of the game, quite literally, with access to the Players’ Zone at Spotify Camp Nou during FC Barcelona home fixtures.

Rather than traditional VIP seating, guests are positioned just metres from the team benches, with clear views of the Players’ Tunnel and post-match interview area. It is access usually reserved for those closest to the squad, offering a perspective that feels less like spectating and more like being inside the rhythm of match day itself.

The partnership coincides with the first phase of Hotel Arts Barcelona’s extensive renovation programme, ensuring the standard of accommodation mirrors the rarity of the experience being offered beyond the hotel walls.

Pitch-side Positioning at Camp Nou

Access to the seating area is paired with entry to a dedicated hospitality lounge within the stadium. Open before kick-off, during half-time and after the final whistle, the space offers a relaxed counterpoint to the intensity outside.

From this vantage point, guests witness not only the flow of the match but the moments that surround it, with players emerging from the tunnel, warm-up rituals, substitutions unfolding at arm’s length and the immediate reactions once the final whistle blows.

Access to the Players’ Zone is complemented by entry to a dedicated hospitality lounge within the stadium. Open before kick-off, during half-time and after the match, the space offers a relaxed setting away from the crowds.

Gourmet finger foods are served alongside wines, beers and cava, creating a natural place to gather before the game and reflect afterwards. Guests may also choose to add a visit to the FC Barcelona Museum, home to the club’s trophy collection and interactive exhibits tracing its history since 1899.

Stay, Transfers and Personal Touches

Back at Hotel Arts Barcelona, the experience continues with a guaranteed upgrade to a Panorama Sea View Room. Set within the hotel’s iconic 44-storey glass and steel tower, designed by architect Bruce Graham, the newly redesigned interiors balance contemporary finishes with carefully curated works by Catalan and Spanish artists. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow guests to enjoy sweeping views of the Mediterranean, the city skyline, and Port Olímpic’s marina.

Daily breakfast is included, alongside private round-trip transfers to and from Camp Nou on match day. Thoughtful touches from official FC Barcelona merchandise to a concierge team attuned to personal preferences ensure the stay feels seamless from arrival to departure. Guests can also request personalised match-day itineraries, including city tours, private shopping experiences, or spa treatments to complement the excitement of the game.

The hotel’s waterfront setting places guests moments from the Port Olímpic and within easy reach of the city centre, whether the day calls for galleries, shopping, beachside relaxation, or simply strolling along the marina promenade.

Dining, Wellness, and Leisure

Hotel Arts Barcelona is home to Enoteca, the two-Michelin-starred restaurant led by chef Paco Pérez, whose wider portfolio holds five Michelin stars. For a more relaxed pace, Marina Coastal Food & Pools offers Mediterranean-inspired dishes beside the pool, while the spa provides restorative treatments and wellness experiences between match-day moments.

The hotel also maintains its reputation as one of Spain’s leading business destinations, with 24,000 square feet of event space discreetly integrated across the lower ground and second floors, ideal for private celebrations, corporate meetings, or intimate gatherings in the city.

Booking Your Experience

The FC Barcelona Match Experience is priced from €1,950 per night for two guests. The package includes a Panorama Sea View Room upgrade, daily breakfast, two Players’ Zone tickets, hospitality lounge access, private stadium transfers and welcome amenities.

Given the limited capacity of the Players’ Zone and strong demand around home fixtures, advance booking is essential. Availability is aligned with FC Barcelona’s match calendar and ongoing stadium works at Camp Nou, with dates confirmed through the hotel’s concierge team.
