Hotel Eurostars Mediterranea Plaza Alicante
Luxury hotel in Alicante
A true oasis of peace and quiet in the very nerve centre of one of the liveliest cities on the Mediterranean An unbeatable location right in the centre of Alicante and some amazing vistas from the roof-top terrace make the Eurostars Mediterranean Plaza one of the most sought-after establishments in the city.
The hotel is close to everything: a stones throw from the Postiguet beach, from the shopping area, from the Barrio (the major night-life district), the yacht marina (starting point of the 2011 Volvo Ocean Race) and many other places, such as the Teatro Principal (barely 200 metres away), the Contemporary Art Museum, the Esplanade of Spain (lovely walks in the shade of the palm trees) and the narrow streets of the old part of the city.
The great value of the Eurostars Mediterránea Plaza lies in the fact that this is the place for people in search of rest and quiet as well as those who want life and activity. Its a paradox, but both sorts find their ideal spot here because the hotel is like the eye of the hurricane: an peaceful oasis set in the whirlpool of commercial, cultural, business and leisure activities that represent downtown Alicante.
Our personal recommendation is for you to start the day with a hearty breakfast served under the arches of the Plaza del Ayuntamiento and end it on the roof-top terrace where you can sit and enjoy the magnificent panoramic vista of the recently renovated Plaza and the Castle of St. Barbara, on top of Mount Banacantil.

Information about Alicante
Alicante overlooks the sea with the famous Explanada’s seafront, one of the city symbols and one of the most beautiful seafronts all over Spain. The city is an important seaside and health resort, where the sea, the sun and the mild temperatures are the protagonists and where it’s possible to enjoy the many beaches for all over the year. Alicante is also animated and lively, but it’s not only that, unlike the others cities in the coast, with its three thousand years of history is an authentic city that doesn’t live only on tourism. Its charm derives from its large avenues, the bar terraces and the overshadowing fortress that dominates the city.
The Santa Bárbara Castle represents the most emblematic building in Alicante. It’s located at the top of mount Benacantil, in the past it granted an enormous strategic value, because from its 116 meters above sea level, all the Alicante’s Bay and the surrounding area could be overlooked, even nowadays an incredible view over the coast can be enjoyed. Other interesting places that can be visited are the Santa María Basilica, constructed in gothic style upon the ruins of an old muslim mosque, and the San Nicolás Co-Cathedral, considered one of the most beautiful churches constructed in Spanish baroque style.
