Scene
Mid-sized hotel with airy lobby and cozy bar
The Arye is built on an eye-catching public square with an elaborate water fountain decorated with figures and animal sculptures. Inside, the bright and airy entrance has expansive windows and steps leading up to the lobby, where the all-white decor is minimal, with mod seating. Corridors further in the interior look dated, with chipped wooden walls and blue carpet. The Room Service Lounge Bar on an upper floor is an attractive place to hang out, featuring a sky-lit ceiling and interesting art. Crushed velvet purple sofas and bookshelves give the space a living room vibe. Panoramic views of Valencia are worth the trip upstairs.
Location
In the center of Valencia and close to shopping destinations, an iconic plaza, and the beach
The Ayre is at the junction between the business area and old town of Valencia, built directly on a beautiful public square. The hotel's on a smaller street but close to major avenues filled with high-end shops (Louis Vuitton and Tommy Hilfiger) and a wide variety of restaurants and bars with indoor and outdoor seating. The Plaza del Ayuntamiento is so close you can hear its chiming bells. Malvarrosa Beach is about a 20-minute drive away.
