Best Western Hotel Albufera

Located within the Albufera commercial park, this 4-star hotel offers a wide range of activities to ensure a relaxing stay. It occupies the Iberian Peninsula and is bathed by the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean and the Cantabrian Sea. It lies within 15 minutes of many of the city’s most important sites. It also includes the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean, the Canary Islands in the Atlantic and the cities of Ceuta and Melilla Its total surface area is 504,788 sq kms Spain's powerful world empire of the 16th and 17th centuries ultimately yielded command of the seas to England. Soak up the sun from the hotel’s paddle court or sunny terrace. Subsequent failure to embrace the mercantile and industrial revolutions caused the country to fall behind Britain, France, and Germany in economic and political power. Inside the hotel you will find a gym, sauna and indoor pool – ideal for unwinding after a busy day. Spain remained neutral in World Wars I and II, but suffered through a devastating Civil War (1936-39). Then relax with a drink in the cafe or enjoy a meal in the on-site restaurant. In the second half of the 20th century, it has played a catch-up role in the western international community. Use the Hotel Albufera as a base to visit the nearby City of Arts and Sciences – Valencia’s fantastic new development of attractions. Continuing concerns are large-scale unemployment and the Basque separatist movement The diversity and contrast that go to mould the character of Spain are likewise in evidence in its cities. The city’s congress centre, port and airport are also located just a short distance from the hotel. Celts, Iberians, Phoenicians and, at a later date, the Greco-Roman civilisation laid the first cornerstones of urban settlements which, to this day, bear the marks of their passage through time During the Middle Ages, Arabic, Jewish and Christian cultures, singly and through a process of mutual cross-influence, gave rise to the birth of cities which have come to house an historical-artistic heritage of incalculable proportions Tradition alone does not suffice Modernity too is essential, and this was something certain Spanish monarchs –Charles III for one– managed to successfully apply during their reigns in order to beautify townscapes, like that of Madrid, with parks and landmark monuments, thereby instilling the city with a spirit of renewal.
