understood that she was travelling alone with the children and said she wanted a few days’ holiday at the resort.She walked up to the hotel front desk at about 2pm on Tuesday and asked a receptionist to call an ambulance immediately.
Staff ran to the room and found the two bodies with no signs of life.
Paramedics rushed to the scene but were unable to revive the two children while local police called in the Catalan regional force the Mossos d’Esquadra to oversee the investigation.
The mother was arrested on site and was seen being handcuffed and led away to a waiting car dressed in a white long-sleeved sweatshirt shortly afterwards.
Police would give no details on her state of mind but said that they were liaising with British officials.
“We are not looking for anyone else at this stage because of what she has told us but we are keeping an open mind,” a spokeswoman for the Mossos d’Esquadra, in the Girona region said.
The hotel entrance was sealed off while the bodies of the children were taken away as investigations continued in the room.
Located on Lloret de Mar's main seafront promenade, the 54-room Miramar hotel, where rooms start from £50 a night, sits in the centre of an area of shops and restaurants popular with British tourists in high season.
Just under 50 miles from Barcelona, the former fishing village's transformation into a brash and sprawling tourist resort began in the early 1970s.
Its five main beaches, stretching over almost five miles, are a popular draw for families but the town’s nightlife has made it popular with the 18 to 30 crowd.
