Valencia

A trip to Valencia is to go to the encounter of centuries-old traditions, flavors that have transcended the borders of this city and surprising contrasts that show that modernity and tradition are perfectly compatible. Traits that are extensible to the diverse range of hotels in Valencia, with accommodations that meet the needs of any type of traveler, who find in the destination culture, entertainment, gastronomy and much more thanks to the fact that the city has thirty museums, a spectacular urban beach, a natural park, a popular and festive atmosphere that extends beyond its famous Fallas, are some of the hallmarks of Valencia.

The capital of the Turia, a river that articulates a promenade around a vast area of gardens, is a city very well equipped for both walking and cycling. In fact, it is quite common for hotels in Valencia to provide rental services, offering their guests the opportunity to experience the city from a new perspective.

Whichever option you choose, a visit to the Carmen neighbourhood is a must on a tour of Valencia, where there are still traces of the Arab walls and the two Gothic gates that once gave access to the city: the Serranos Towers and the Quart Towers. In this central district are located other emblematic buildings of the capital such as the Lonja de la Seda (in the Plaza del Mercado), the Plaza Redonda or the Central Market.

The historical tour continues through the Plaza de la Virgen, the historical centre of the city. Here, where the Roman forum once stood, now stands the cathedral of Valencia and its popular Miguelete bell tower. Nowadays this square is also the nerve centre of the city's most important festivities, the Fallas, and it is here that the spectacular floral offering to the Virgin takes place on the 17th and 18th of March every year. It is worth finishing the visit by going to the coast to taste the most characteristic dishes of Valencian gastronomy. The beach bars on the Malvarrosa beach are the meeting point for locals and visitors, especially on Sundays. A perfect day to enjoy a good paella by the sea.

Valencia can boast of being one of the Spanish cities that has invested the most in modernity. Proof of this investment in culture and innovation is the colossal City of Arts and Sciences. This complex is not only a focus of knowledge and art, the perfect setting for taking some of the most representative photographs of the city or the film set for important international film productions, given its architectural uniqueness. Its buildings and the leisure and cultural options they offer are a reflection of the perfect process of integration that the city has been undergoing over the last few decades.

A balance between development and tradition that can also be seen in any hotel next to the City of Arts and Sciences. In addition to their strategic location and good connections with the rest of the capital, these hotels in Valencia offer the most exclusive services in the city. Soundproofed rooms, free WiFi, spectacular views of the most modern part of Valencia on a privileged terrace with swimming pool, gym, body and facial treatment rooms, spa circuits... All this in an area perfectly located for both leisure travellers and those visiting Valencia for work.
