Hotel Castilla is a rare gem; this cloud piercing 11 floor hotel is just off the Avenida de Europa. It's central location mean that shops, bars and restaurants are at your fingertips, plus Levante beach is only a five minute walk away. That said this part of town is still fairly quiet so while everything is within easy reach, there's still plenty of peace and quiet. Apart from the location, one of the main reasons guests keep coming back is the pool area. This suntrap comes fringed with swaying palms, sun beds and parasols, and there's a main pool and a kids' pool in a wraparound sun terrace.
Indoors, it's all about light and airy spaces. Take the bar for instance. It's a big, open area with plenty of light wood tables and red wooden chairs. Add indoor palms and a snug corner of comfy seats, and it's a great place to relax. Then there's the restaurant, decorated in creams and paired with terracotta chairs and tables dressed in white, it's a smart yet calm space. You'll find English breakfasts, show cooking and a gluten free menu plus around the world favourites all on the menu. Elsewhere, the best thing about the bedrooms has to be their size. They're all nice and roomy, with furnished balconies, so you can enjoy the outdoors without leaving your room. They all have a homely feel to them and are decorated in warm earthy tones. Plus they all come with nice to haves like satellite TVs, hairdryers and mini bars, so as a holiday base, they've got everything you need.
