Hotel Marqués House

Treat yourself like movie star royalty in a luxurious room in this discreet historic property down the street from the Museo Nacional de Cerámica (p. ###). Contemporary rooms have a palette of chocolate and pewter tones as accents for the crisp white walls, luxe marble baths, and sleekly minimalist chairs, tables, and other furniture. The nicely distributed lighting—never too dim, never too bright—creates a welcoming atmosphere. The city’s signature agua de Valencia was born in the hotel’s Café Madrid bar in the 1940s.
