Originally a Dominican convent, Hospes Hotel Amerigo has been reincarnated as a stylish design hotel in the centre of Alicante. Decor is tasteful and unique, with contemporary interiors balenced perfectly with restored original architecture.

The facilities

Enjoy panoramic views of Alicante from a small rooftop terrace, or have a dip in the swimming pool. Wind down with a horchata hazelnut milk drink at the Senzone Pool Bar, then indulge in a massage at the Bodyna Spa. Evening meals at Senzone Restaurant are flavourful Levantian and Mediterranean fare. For something lighter, take traditional tapas in the Senzone Tapas Bar, or head to the Lounge Bar for teas, coffees, pastries and cocktails.

The rooms

Each of the 80 guestrooms at Hospes Hotel Amerigo are a pleasing mishmash of old and new, with stone walls and original arched ceilings set against clean-lined furniture, flat screen TVs and abstract artwork. Rooms benefit from huge windows that let in lots of light, plus buzzy city views.
