Caro Hotel, Valencia is a modern hotel in an ancient city
The ancient city of Valencia, which was founded by the Romans in 138 BCE, is a busy harbour and vital town centre filled with history and beauty. The river Turia once ran through the heart of the city, but regular flash flooding from the mountain rains finally forced the people to change the course of the river southwards with a canal. The old riverbed became a long and grand municipal treasure, a park called the Jardin de Turia, “Garden of the Turia.” Filled with trees, sports centers, and beautiful gardens, the greensward wraps around the northern bend of Valencia’s Old City. Just above the Turia, around the corner from the Plaza De Poet Llorente, stands the elegant and lavish Caro Hotel, Palacio Marque De Caro, a deluxe five-star boutique affair.
With its three stories preserving elements of the remains of Roman, Visigoth, and medieval ruins, Caro Hotel stands out on its corner with its graceful modern façade and welcoming entryway. Caro Hotel can also provide the finest bespoke services in the city of Valencia, and offer its guests outstanding and customized tours of the sights and sounds of the region, all tailored to the clienteles’ specific interests and enthusiasms.
With a staff of over 30 serving just 26 rooms, the hotel definitely provides excellent luxury service and amenities in each of its individually labelled rooms, decorated and designed by Francesc Rife in contemporary and urban styles, with accents of stonework and ironwork that hark back to the medieval era. In the Arab Tower Suite, a careful restoration of several years preserved a sectional wall constructed during the Moorish times of the 12th century, and the cleverly compact lobby, created by architect Francisco Jurado, also features a medieval stone archway. The hotel will gladly book spa services direct to the guests’ rooms on a bespoke basis, and guests can register 24 hours a day. The Terrace Bar will be glad to serve cocktails at the hotel’s small yet beautifully designed splash pool, where the sun warms the stone and the day can be enjoyed in peace.
