The Hotel Estela Barcelona in Sitges’ Port d’Aiguadolç Marina, popularly known as the Art Hotel, is an atypical, unique and singular 4-star hotel.
With its unsurpassable location opposite the Aiguadolç Marina Beach, this hotel is committed to culture, and especially to art, as an element that sets it apart from all other hotels.
Within its facilities it houses permanent exhibitions of artists as prominent as Josep Maria Subirachs or Josep Puigmartí, who established his atelier and residence in the hotel and who was received in patronage for more than 25 years.
The Hotel Estela is a medium-sized hotel with 63 rooms, but one of its most remarkable particularities is that 15 of its rooms have been painted by artists. These are known as “Artist Rooms“. Artists including Josep Ma. Subirachs, Ramon Moscardó, Josep Grau Garriga, Antonio de Felipe, Ricardo Moraga, Antoni Xaus and Josep Puigmartí have left their mark on the walls and ceilings of these rooms.
This has been the case since 1992, shortly after the hotel opened its doors, when Antoni Xaus painted room 105 in an act of protest, without asking permission to perform his actions.
