Duquesa de Cardona

This small boutique hotel -- popular with honeymooners -- is across the road from the harbor of Port Vell, and the rooftop terrace and small plunge pool with Jacuzzi have splendid views of the pleasure and party boats that dock here year-round. The hotel occupies what was once a 19th-century palace, and many of its original Art Deco features have been preserved and mixed with elements of modern style to ensure maximum comfort. The bedrooms have an intimate, romantic feel but they seem a little cramped (especially those at the back), and it is worth paying the extra money to get a front-facing room with views of the harbor. Communal areas include a stylish living room with deep, cream-colored sofas and a smart Mediterranean restaurant with original marble tiles.
