Sercotel Sorolla Palace, hotel in Valencia, Spain
The Sercotel Sorolla Palace is a hotel in Valencia, Spain, recognizable by its curved facade shaped like the bow of a ship. The building offers guest rooms with large windows, meeting facilities, a restaurant, and both indoor and outdoor pool areas.
The building was developed as part of Valencia's urban expansion around the main train station during the latter half of the 20th century. Over time it was updated to serve the growing number of business and congress travelers passing through the city.
The hotel takes its name from Valencian painter Joaquín Sorolla, celebrated for his use of light and colour. Walking through the surrounding area, visitors can notice other references to his legacy, as Valencia keeps his memory alive in street names and nearby cultural spaces.
The hotel sits close to the main train station, making it easy to reach the city center and other parts of Valencia on foot or by public transit. Guests planning to visit the old town or the major museums will find this location convenient as a starting point.
The hotel offers guests a pillow menu, letting them choose from different types based on personal preference before going to sleep. This kind of service is uncommon in Spanish city hotels and often catches guests off guard at check-in.
