“The hotel’s interiors, by design firm Janfri & Ranchal, stand out for their masterful use of light, the maintenance of original 19th-century elements, and Art Deco details.”

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
the boutique hotel occupies a former 19th century palace, which itself sits on the site of a 3rd-century Roman perfumery.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors face Plaza de Manises, with Valencia Cathedral and Plaza de la Virgen only a short stroll away.
The rooms
Selected suites keep the palace's original marble floors and restored mosaics. The rest carry soft pastels and geometric 1930s accents.
Lladró Lounge Bar
Handcrafted Lladró porcelain sculptures fill illuminated wall cases, and the fluted bar mixes signature cocktails into the night.
At the table
La Perfumería serves seasonal market tasting menus at marble-topped tables, where plush banquettes sit beneath geometric Art Deco lighting.
How it began
Restoration work in 2017 uncovered a third-century Roman perfumery buried in the subsoil, complete with intact glass scent bottles.
