The Hotel Serawa Alicante is a 4 star accommodation located 2 minutes from the beach and very close to other places of interest such as the Explanada de España and the Museum of Contemporary Art.

The hotel’s restaurant offers some incredible dining experiences (including vegan options) made with the best locally sourced ingredients.

Although the city is home to several hotels from this chain, the Eurostars Mediterránea Plaza is the most beautiful of them all. The wonderful views of the old town from its rooftop terrace is one of the many advantages this hotel has to offer. In fact, if the Eurostars Mediterránea Plaza stands out for anything, it’s for its location: next to the Plaza Santísima Faz and the town hall – one of our favorite areas of the city. And the Santa Barbara Castle and the Postiguet Beach are just a short walk away. In addition, the hotel is not only surrounded by a large number of restaurants, but also offers a varied buffet breakfast.
Moreover, this 4-star accommodation boasts not only WiFi, gym and sauna, but also modern rooms, equipped with air conditioning, TV and minibar.

Nothing like pampering your body after a hard training session in the hotel’s gym – or just relaxing on the beach, we won’t judge.
You can then decide whether to admire the views of the Bay of Alicante from your room or from the Alborada lounge – where the buffet breakfast is served. There’s also the Marabierta Restaurant that offers typical Mediterranean dishes.
