About Port Olympic Marina, Hotel Arts and Tore Mapfre
This port-marina was built in 1990 to host the sailing competitions of the Barcelona 1992 Olympic Games. It sits between the beaches of Barceloneta and the beaches of poble Nou.
Before the Covid Pandemic the Olympic port was a thriving nightclub zone with bars open all night, and a reputation for being a bit seedy. This all ended during the pandemic and the nightclubs are now gone with the port deciding to take a new direction for its use.
