Spain’s third city is a lively, youthful metropolis which trades on its standout food and beaches. For somewhere to stay while you enjoy them, these are the best hotels in Valencia, bookable on Culture Trip.

A big city with a big heart, Valencia is famous for its food – like the legendary paella – and festivals. The Roman architecture of the Old Town contrasts with Santiago Calatrava’s otherworldly modernism at the City of Arts and Sciences. This port city buzzes with trade, tourism and business – but its beaches are where everyone goes to relax at the weekend.

This hipster hangout is the kind of hotel Valencia’s cool crowd like to visit, so you know it’s going to be good. The throngs come to its Ramirez Bar to enjoy forward-facing tapas, like spinach and quinoa croquetas (Spain’s grandmas will be turning in their graves). So, if you like to congregate with the cognoscenti, this is the place. The effortlessly cool “flats” above include all mod cons, like bijou kitchens and sofas, making this a very enjoyable place to stay.
