Modern, chic rooms sleep up to four, there’s a heated rooftop pool, and you can opt for Half Board or Full Board – perfect if you want nights out without worrying about where to eat.

A gleaming high-rise in the Benidorm skyline, Hotel Gold Arcos blends city-style design with a beach-holiday mindset. Floor-to-ceiling glass, warm lighting and chic gold touches set the tone inside, while upstairs the rooftop terrace becomes your go-to for pool dips, icy drinks and skyline views.

Pool & outdoors


The star of the show is the outdoor freshwater pool on the rooftop terrace. It’s typically heated from 1 October to 31 March (dates subject to change), making shoulder-season swims that bit more tempting. A dedicated sunbathing area with loungers, parasols and towel service sets the scene for lazy afternoons with skyline views.

• Highchairs in the restaurant for younger guests

Food & drink

Two bars keep drinks and snacks covered:
• A rooftop pool bar (roughly 10:00–21:00), ideal for sundowners and laid-back tunes.
• The Arches Lounge coffee bar (approx. 16:30–00:00) for barista-style coffees, cocktails and pre-night-out tipples.

Expect a smart-casual dress code in the restaurant and bars (no beachwear), and note that reservations, opening hours and inclusions can vary by season and board basis.
