[2025 Valencia Stay] Travel Guide for Palacio Santa Clara, Autograph Collection (Updated Jun)

🇪🇸 Where to stay in Valencia? The Old Town is undoubtedly the best choice. If you're a Marriott loyalist, compared to Westin or AC Hotels, this Autograph Collection property—a renovated historic building—wins for its location, design, convenience, and value. 📍 **Location:** Palacio de Santa Clara, a former 16th-century convent, sits within a 5–10 minute walk from Plaza del Ayuntamiento, La Lonja (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), Central Market, and Valencia Nord Station. A 20-minute taxi ride from the airport, direct access via Metro Line 3, 15 minutes by bus to the City of Arts and Sciences, and 20 minutes to the beach 🌊—perfectly connecting the city’s historic charm with modern vibrancy. 🔷 **Design:** Ranked among the "Top 50 Design Hotels in Europe 2025" and shortlisted for AHEAD Europe’s Best Heritage Conversion, it consistently holds a top-three spot on TripAdvisor for Valencia hotels. The hotel preserves Gothic stone arches, weathered sandstone walls, and cloistered courtyards while blending in minimalist glass domes, geometric metal frames, contemporary sculptures in the corridors, and custom ceramic tableware in the rooms. Its understated yet distinctive aesthetic is ideal for immersive travelers. 🛏️ **Rooms & Details:** Beyond the compact room size, there’s little to fault. Bedrooms feature B&B Italia furniture, bathrooms showcase local handmade glazed tiles with NUXE amenities, and bedding comes from Spanish luxury brand Natura Bissé. The Marset bedside lamps and modern art pair perfectly. The city-view rooms offer floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Old Town streets (with excellent soundproofing) and a tasty orange welcome drink from the Mini Bar. 🥘 **Dining & Service:** Breakfast in the elegant lobby is small but refined—think omelets with fresh orange juice. The only downside is limited hot options, which might not satisfy purely Chinese palates. 🖼️ **15–18:** Don’t miss the rooftop terrace bar, inspired by the convent’s cellar, serving sherry cocktails with panoramic views of red-tiled roofs and the skyline. There’s also a small plunge pool for sunbathing. 🎁 The welcome gift includes exquisite custom chocolates 🖼️4 (stellar packaging, color, and taste) and a handwritten note—a lovely touch. 🌟 **Perks:** Member upgrades are generous. The front desk can reserve VIP seats for Las Fallas, provide an *Old Town Art Map*, and arrange valet parking (€20/night).

[Palacio Santa Clara, Autograph Collection] I found a wonderful boutique hotel in the center of Valencia✨ The hotel is a renovated historic building, and the moment you step in, you feel like you've come to a special place. The rooms have an interior that is typical of Marriott's Autograph Collection. The bath amenities are from the luxury brand NUXE. The nice scent was soothing😊 5 minutes walk to City Hall Square 6 minutes walk to Estación del Norte (North Station) The hotel is surrounded by markets, supermarkets, shopping areas, the Valencia Bullring, the City Hall, Valencia Cathedral, and more, all of which can be reached on foot. It's a lively and compact city. The streets are so beautiful that even just walking around is fun😃 The staff at Palacio Santa Clara were kind and polite. This is a hotel I'd like to visit again💕 📍Address: C/ de Pascual i Genís, 22, Ciutat Vella, 46002 València, Valencia, Spain #Marriott #luxuryhotel #Spain #Valencia #hotelwithpool #triptoSpain

#100WaysOfTravel The hotel is located in the city center, and you can go downstairs for shopping. The lobby is small and exquisite, which is especially suitable for taking photos. There is nothing wrong with the room except that it is small. Most hotels in Europe can't be compared with those in Thailand. They are really too small. But the facilities are not bad. The water pressure of Lianpengtou is not big enough. The bar on the roof is worth visiting. There is a swimming pool, but no gym. The service is very good. The young lady and the little brothers at the front desk are very good-looking.
