Hospes Amerigo Alicante

Hospes Amerigo Alicante juxtaposes the austere architecture of a former Dominicos convent with the sophistication and elegant interior decor of a luxury boutique hotel. The setting, in the historic heart of Alicante, Spain, offers Old-World charm and a sun-kissed microclimate on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Groups members can soak up the sun on nearby Postiguet beach, savor views of the Santa Barbara castle—a Moorish fortress dating from the tenth century—or concentrate on health and vitality at the rooftop spa, sauna, pool, and fitness center.

Five categories of guest rooms offer something for everyone. Stylish decor includes abstract silk paintings, while amenities run the gamut of high-speed Internet access, plasma-screen TVs, and Egyptian-cotton linens. The rooms also take advantage of the magical Mediterranean sunlight, thanks to generous-size windows and high ceilings. Several small meeting rooms offer remarkable settings with rich ambience and an acute attention to detail.
