Hospes Palau de la Mar

Old Town Valencia is just a 10-minute walk from Hospes Palau de la Mar, but chances are you’ll get distracted along the way. The hotel occupies prime real estate amid the boutiques of Sorní and Cirilo Amarós Streets, and the City of Arts and Sciences lies on the other side of Valencia’s favorite public garden. Inside, Palau de la Mar cultivates a Zen-like atmosphere with dark wood plank floors and stark white bathrooms (some have a freestanding tub under a skylight). The lush central courtyard houses a bar that specializes in wines from the area’s renowned vineyards.
