Valencia, on Spain’s Mediterranean coast, is having a moment. Its rich history, vibrant cultural scene, gastronomic highlights, mild climate, and beautiful natural surroundings are just some of the many reasons why this city has climbed to the top of many must-visit lists.
From the Cathedral with its famous Miguelete bell tower to the City of Arts and Sciences—and other sights, like the lively Carmen and Ruzafa neighborhoods, the Lonja de la Seda (the 15th-century silk exchange, a UNESCO World Heritage site), the Turia Gardens, and L’Albufera (a nearby nature preserve)—Valencia manages to charm both visitors and residents every day.
The city’s hotel scene also has a little something for everyone: elegant buildings from the early 20th century, luxurious seafront retreats, boutique hotels in the heart of the historic center, and a few new additions that we’re eager to share with you. Here’s Condé Nast Traveler’s list of the best hotels in Valencia.
