The 120-room Hotel Maria Manuela stands out as a bigger hotel in an area where boutique hotels are more common.

On the outskirts of Salobreña, this 191-room Best Western has a striking location perched on top of a cliff. There is a large pool and sea view terrace, both with spectacular ocean views. Part of the hotel has been renovated in a modern corporate style, while other sections are dated with worn furniture. Salobreña is accessible via taxi, car, and bus from the town center (this location is popular with older guests seeking a respite from the town bustle). There is no beach on-site, but free parking makes this a good starting point to explore the nearby Sierra Nevadas and the Alpujarras.

Hotel Termal Burgo de Osma is a unique property in the western half of Spain, occupying a Renaissance-era university. It combines historical ambiance with modern style and convenience.

The 78-room luxury Gran Hotel Las Caldas is a historic property geared toward vacationers wanting a spa-filled stay. The large Aquaxana spa complex includes a hydrotherapy pool, a Roman bath, a sauna, and a solarium, and more; guests can also enlist in health and wellness programs monitored by trained professionals. With gorgeous grounds set amongst lush hills, it’s an ideal spot to relax. However, the four-pearl Hotel Enclave on the same grounds is worth considering as an alternative; this sister property houses the Gran's spa facilities and has almost all the same services for a lower price.

The eight-room Hotel Rural Arpa de Hierba (that's rural grass harp in Spanish) is a picturesque and romantic bed and breakfast located in a lush village in Le Pereda, Spain. Owned and operated by a helpful and welcoming Spanish couple, this boutique has light, airy rooms with elegant, rustic furnishings. The excellent breakfast includes Spanish tortillas, fresh squeezed orange juice, and croissants -- but no other meals are served on the property. A car is a requirement to visit the nearby beaches and Picos de Europa. If lack of beach access is a deal breaker, check out nearby Hotel Miracielos for their sandy beach.

Located in Valles Technology Park, the Eurostars Hotel Parc del Valles is an upper-middle-range hotel ideal for business travelers with meetings in the area. A hot and cold breakfast buffet is available for a fee, and a bar/cafe is open in the mornings and evenings. The hotel is removed from downtown Barcelona, making it necessary to have a car. Guest rooms are spacious but a bit bland and show some wear with faded chairs and chipped headboards. The hotel has a big outdoor pool and free outside parking. Travelers looking for a similar, budget-friendly hotel may want to consider the Alimara Barcelona Hotel, located in a residential area but with a metro station nearby.

For a traveler on business looking for a hotel close to the airport and with plenty meeting spaces, FrontAir Congress is a good choice. It's business travelers that frequent the public spaces, as well as leisure travelers who have had flight trouble and are being put up at the property. A convenient, free shuttle runs all day to and from the airport, but travelers hoping to get to the city center will have trouble doing so without a car. Located in an industrial neighborhood, there's not a lot going on in the immediate vicinity with the exception of a shopping mall and some fast-food restaurants. The 229-room hotel is massive on both the inside and out, and travelers looking for a more intimate hotel experience should book elsewhere.
