Best Party Hotels in Valencia, Valencia Province

An upscale hotel in a quiet beachfront neighborhood, Hotel Las Arenas Balneario Resort has both luxurious amenities and substantial business facilities. Its sprawling, sometimes impersonal atmosphere has earned it a reputation as being more suited to convention-goers than individual travelers. Nevertheless, with its enviable setting, the hotel attracts all types and often hosts weddings. Along with the ocean, the spa and pools offer plenty of opportunities for relaxation. Spacious rooms are decorated with pastels and light wood furnishings; bathrooms, too, are large, with plush robes and slippers. While the hotel has all the amenities one would expect from a first-class resort, service is sometimes inconsistent for the average tourist, largely due to the heavy emphasis on meetings and conventions.

The Westin Valenica is a large, high-end property that's also a good base for discovering the city. The hotel combines classic style with modern technology, drawing many business travelers and large groups with its several ultramodern function rooms and banquet hall. Housed in a majestic white building, easily one of the most impressive structures in the city, the hotel is within walking distance of the center of Valencia. There are three on-site restaurants to choose from -- including those offering Mediterranean and Japanese fare -- plus a cocktail bar/club with terrace. The Caroli Health Club is a great place to replenish, with thermal and water treatments, and guest rooms are large. However, some can be loud and there are fees for Wi-Fi, parking, and use of the heated pool.

With its neoclassical facade, the upper-middle-range Melia Plaza exudes Old World style. One of the most centrally located hotels in Valencia, it's next to the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, within walking distance of the cathedral. The lobby filled with polished marble and playful murals, has several seating areas. The 101 guest rooms have detailed molding, black leather chairs, and heavy early-20-century-style furniture. They include minibars, safes, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi -- and some have great city views. On-site features include a fitness center with the standard array of cardio and weight machines and a sauna, plus a rooftop terrace with a hot tub. Travelers should also check out the nearby Ayre Hotel Astoria Palace, which has more contemporary decor but slightly higher rates.

The four-pearl Hotel Neptuno is a beachfront property situated on Valencia's east coast, about a 20-minute drive from the Old Town and other tourist sites. Stylish interiors combine clean lines and modern furnishings with Pop Art paintings and colorful accents. The hotel's 50 rooms feature a minimalist Scandinavian style and amenities like minibars, plasma TVs, and free Wi-Fi, while suites add upscale perks like large furnished terraces with hot tubs and attractive bathrooms with both jetted tubs and hydromassage rainfall showers. There is a restaurant on-site, as well as health facilities that include a steam room, hot tub, fitness room, and spa treatments. For something more centrally located, travelers might want to consider the Vincci Lys, though it doesn't offer as many features
