Majestic Hotel & Spa Barcelona is well known in art circles as The Hotel of the Arts. This is mostly due to the interest that the owners of the establishment have always shown for all art forms, but especially for the prestigious New Art Show, held in the hotel in 1996 and 1997. In 1997 over eleven thousand people visited the exhibition of the latest art trends selected by 50 galleries, both Spanish and international. The main objective of the exhibition was to show to the public at large, and not just to people in art circles, the work of young artists. The result according to published reviews was very positive.
