Gran Sol

Gran Sol is a tall hotel building standing directly beside Alicante's port with 31 floors and guest rooms spread across different levels. The structure includes dining facilities positioned to take advantage of views over the water and city.

The building was created in the 1970s based on designs by architect Miguel López González and has since been among the city's defining tall structures. Its construction significantly changed the appearance of the port area.

The building's facades display colorful artworks that shape the character of the port district and make it visually distinct from surrounding structures.

The building sits very close to the port and is easily reached on foot from the city center. The area offers good connections to shopping zones and other facilities in the port district.

A distinctive feature is the dining venue on an upper level that offers visitors views of both the sea and the city at once. This dual perspective makes eating there a memorable experience.
