Hotel Las Arenas: A Beachfront Balneario on Valencia's Malvarrosa

Hotel Las Arenas occupies a grand position on the seafront of Valencia's Malvarrosa beach, on the site of the city's historic 19th-century seaside balneario. A Leading Hotels of the World Sustainability Leader, its neoclassical colonnades, gardens and large pools open directly onto the Mediterranean, a rare resort-style luxury within a major city.

The dining looks out to sea. Sorolla, named for the Valencian painter of light, serves Mediterranean cuisine of the freshest products by chef Jose Mª Baldo with sea views; the Lobby Bar pours cocktails by Spanish Mixology Champion Iván Martínez; and the pool and snack bars handle paella, tapas and sunset drinks.

For a beachfront city stay in Valencia, Las Arenas is a standout.
