A Guide To Hotels In Spain
Spain encompasses the mainland with popular destinations like Barcelona, Malaga and Madrid, as well as the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean and the Canary Islands in the Atlantic. Booking a hotel in Spain, you'll want to make sure you're in the right area of the country and the right area of town and with so many hotels to choose from, ranging from budget 2-star to luxury 5-star hotels, where do you even start? Here's our guide to hotels in Spain.
Hotels In Barcelona
Barcelona is one of Spain's most popular holiday and city break destinations. Some may prefer to book their flight and hotel together as a package, while others may get the flights sorted and then figure out the hotel bit later on. Either way, Barcelona is a big city, so you'll want to make sure you book a hotel in the right area depending on how you want to enjoy the city.
City centre hotels in areas like Las Ramblas and the Gothic Quarter will come at a premium while accommodation on the outskirts of town may be better suited if you have a lower budget. Either way, Barcelona is very accessible by public transport and one of the best ways to explore the city is by foot.
With so much sunshine in Spain, hotels with rooftop pools are becoming more and more trendy and Barcelona is a popular example of this. Many hotels now offer guests the chance to relax and unwind with amazing views of the city after a hard day exploring the sights.
All Inclusive Hotels In Spain
Of course, if it's a beach holiday to Spain you want, a hotel with all-inclusive facilities is a popular option to consider. Allowing you and your family to enjoy all-day dining, buffet meals in the evening and a selection of drinks, all included in the price of your hotel, going all-inclusive in Spain means all you need to worry about is enjoying yourself.
Some of Spain's busier towns and resorts such as Benidorm, Marbella and Playa de las Americas in Tenerife, offer plenty of all-inclusive hotel options, both budget and luxury. It's also worth checking what else is included in your hotel rate as you may find there are also lots of sports activities and children's clubs for the family to take advantage of.
Hotels By The Beach
Spain is well known for its fantastic beaches. Whether you're staying in popular resorts like Torremolinos or Magaluf or heading to some of Spain's quieter beaches like Portinatx in Majorca or Corralejo Beach in Fuerteventura, sometimes having a hotel by the beach is the number one must have on holiday. Understandable really.
Ibiza, famous for its beach bars and clubs is also an ideal spot to check out. While the popular and spots of Playa d'en Bossa and San Antonio offer a livelier holiday vibe, there are still some great chilled beach bars to be enjoyed around the island like Chiringay on Es Cavallet beach.
Some of the best hotels near the beach include Ibiza's Hard Rock Hotel, TUI Magic Life in Fuerteventura and the Hotel Iberostar Coral Beach in Marbella. If distance to the beach is important at your next hotel, make sure you do your homework and find out how far the hotel is from the beach and what sort of beach it is. Not all beaches in Spain are soft and sandy.
