NH Valencia Las Artes, hotel in Valencia, Spain
NH Valencia Las Artes is a hotel in the southern part of Valencia, Spain, a few steps from the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències complex. The building has rooms that face the gardens or the opera house, and the property includes a restaurant, a coffee shop, a terrace, a fitness room, and a swimming pool.
The hotel was built as Valencia expanded its southern districts around the former Turia riverbed, which had been dry since a major flood in 1957. After the river was diverted, the old bed was turned into a long park in the 1980s, and the surrounding area gradually filled with new construction.
The hotel sits next to the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències, a group of white curved buildings that define this part of the city. The area around them draws people throughout the day, from families walking along the reflecting pools to visitors heading to the opera or the science museum.
The hotel is on Calle Instituto Obrero and can be reached by bus, on foot, or by bike using the paths along the Turia park. The building is accessible for guests with reduced mobility, and the staff can give directions to nearby attractions on request.
The Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía, the opera house visible from some rooms, was designed by Santiago Calatrava and its shell-shaped roof rises about 230 feet (70 meters) above the ground. The building sits on what was once the active riverbed of the Turia, which makes the setting feel different from a typical city opera house.
