For a tasty Father’s Day experience, you can consider packing up the whole family to go to the Catalan capital of Spain, for a stay at Hotel Arts Barcelona.
The property is introducing an experiential, tasty and flat-out fun getaway. In this forward-thinking 21st century, what could be better than a trip where dad and kids bond over cooking while mom lounges at 43 The Spa, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea?
Children will learn pastry skills, while dad gets a mixology class with Diego Baud, head bartender (just awarded most creative in Spain) of Arola restaurant. Arola is one of multiple, locally-inspired, onsite restaurants at the hotel. To top it off, kids will serve dad a meal at the end of the fun bonding experience.
For moms who want to get in on all the foodie fun, a romantic dinner for two, complete with grown-up conversation, could be set at Michelin-starred Enoteca, also on site. Extra perk? To those for whom money is no object, a stay in the apartments means there’s a butler available to look after the kids.
As far as locale, in addition to being located footsteps from the Barceloneta beach, the hotel features an outdoor pool and jacuzzi overlooking a massive, golden fish sculpture. Even tween travelers won’t be able to resist posing for selfies in front of it (although sour pouts might be in place, as they’re likely to consider themselves too cool for a family vacation in the first place).
The father and child cooking and cocktail portion of the overall experience will be offered on Father’s Day only.
