Best Hotels in Alicante — What to Expect
For many visitors, the true heart of Alicante is its sweeping, palm-lined Explanada de España promenade, a mosaic-tiled walkway that curves along the yacht-filled marina. The city is dominated by the Castillo de Santa Bárbara, a 9th-century fortress offering panoramic views from Mount Benacantil. Down in the historic Barrio de la Santa Cruz, you'll find a maze of whitewashed houses and small tapas bars, a perfect contrast to the long, urban stretch of Postiguet Beach right in the city center.
Alicante works well for a mix of travelers. Couples and solo visitors enjoy the culture and nightlife of the city center, while families often prefer the calmer, sandier shores of San Juan Beach to the north, easily reached by tram. The city is a major transport hub, with an international airport just a 20-minute drive away and excellent train connections along the Costa Blanca. Staying near the Explanada puts you within walking distance of almost everything.
On HOTEVI, you'll find 149 places to stay in and around Alicante. The selection is diverse, ranging from budget-friendly hostels in the old town and modern apartment rentals near the beach to a number of upmarket, full-service hotels with sea views along the waterfront.
