Hotel Arts Barcelona in Spain was the first foray into Europe for leading American hotel company Ritz-Carlton. When the hotel was first launched Thomas Manss & Company designed all the materials that are commonly taken by guests as a little memento of their stay at this epitome of five star luxury including note pads, soap bars, shampoo bottles, match boxes and even the towels and bathrobes.
Following its huge initial success the hotel embarked on a renovation programme ten years later. As part of a major upgrade of the hotel facilities, Thomas Manss & Company was commissioned to rejuvenate the identity programme building on the goodwill that had been invested in the Hotel Arts Barcelona brand.
