Overview

Once a 16th-century Dominican convent, Hospes Amerigo is now one of Alicante’s most atmospheric boutique hotels. Think soaring ceilings, stone arches and contemporary art, all moments from the cathedral, Explanada de España and the city’s golden Postiguet Beach. Add a rooftop pool with views of Santa Bárbara Castle, a small spa and destination-worthy Spanish dining, and you’ve got a smart base for grown-up city–beach escapes.

High above Alicante’s terracotta rooftops, the rooftop terrace at Hospes Amerigo is the hotel’s calling card – a sleek pool, sunbeds and a chic bar all framing photogenic views of Santa Bárbara Castle. Down below, original convent architecture blends with clean-lined interiors, while three restaurants celebrate modern Spanish flavours from lazy breakfasts to refined tapas suppers. With Postiguet Beach and the marina in walking distance, you can flip effortlessly between culture, cocktails and the Costa Blanca coastline. For couples and friends keen to combine Spain’s urban buzz with easy beach time, Hospes Amerigo delivers the perfect balance. Set in Alicante’s historic core, you’re surrounded by tapas bars, galleries and the iconic Explanada de España promenade, with golden Postiguet Beach just 850m away. It’s around 20–25 minutes from Alicante Airport by road. See more Spain holidays.
