Opened in 2005, the upper-middle-range, 128-room Melia Ria Hotel is a contemporary property with easy access to Aveiro’s Cultural and Congress Center, plus an impressive range of amenities. The town center and train station are within a 10-minute walk, and the hotel is quiet. A restaurant serves Portuguese specialties and international fare, while a lobby has casual fare and is open late. There is a comprehensive wellness complex, too, although access to its indoor pool, spa, and gym costs extra. Rooms are spacious and handsome, outfitted with desks, free Wi-Fi, minibars, and flat-screen TVs, plus espresso machines and sitting rooms in Suites. For something with more charm and closer to museums, consider Hotel Moliceiro instead.
