2 Best Hotels in Costa del Sol and Costa de Almeria, Spain

In the heart of the old quarter, early-19th-century architecture is paired with comfortable and up-to-date amenities in this boutique hotel with strong design features. Spacious rooms come with exposed stone walls and photos of the city and surroundings, while acrylic and chrome fittings combine with antique furniture. The upstairs terrace (April–October) is great for views of the city while sipping cocktails, and the underground 15th-century Arab baths (included in some rates) continue the relaxation theme.

Value is the overriding attraction of this comfortable and elegant modern hotel, which has slick, bright rooms and the kind of amenities you'd expect to come at a higher price. The 24 rooms in the Torreluz Centro Hotel next door are cheaper, and the nearby apartments give you more space for the same price as the main hotel.
