Sercotel Ámister Art Hotel
Dear urban traveller, we have news for you. Whether you come for business or pleasure, the Sercotel Ámister Art Hotel will become your favourite place in Barcelona. Our 4-star hotel is full of life. Art is responsible for this, and it takes up almost all the space. From its exterior, with the stately and distinguished touch of the façade of the chamfered corner on which we are located; to its interior, where contemporary art is the star of our decoration.
So much so that we have dedicated each of the floors of the Sercotel Ámister Art to a different artist and their work. Walking through our corridors you will find paintings, videos, engravings, collages or unique photographs that will make you feel that we are a different hotel. Like visiting a museum, but without leaving the room. Because yes, in our 59 rooms, in addition to beds designed for your rest, pillows à la carte, natural light, free Wi-Fi and even an audio system so you can listen to your own music, you will also find pieces of the cultural experience of staying at the Ámister Art Hotel. Art even extends to our gymnasium and swimming pool. Yes, the one on the rooftop, with views over the city, next to the solarium and the lounge terrace.
If you come with your family, and that includes your pets, which are more than welcome at the Sercotel Ámister hotel, we will explain everything the city has for you. We are at number 93, Avinguda de Roma, halfway between the famous Passeig de Gràcia and the Montjüic exhibition centre. This is what it means to have the city on your doorstep. What's more, we are just 5 minutes by car from Sants train station, although if you have come here by plane, you may be interested to know that we can organise an airport transfer for you. Ask for it at reception. We want you to get around Barcelona with ease, so you can make use of our car and bike hire service. We also have electric scooters. What can you do with your vehicle? Park it in our private car park.
As we said: we have everything under control. Nor do we forget those business trips with company events that are sometimes so difficult to organise. In the event rooms of the Sercotel Ámister Hotel we simplify the processes. Our rooms are versatile, adaptable to any type of meeting or event and have facilities such as television, projector, screen and video.
Dear traveller, the only thing that depends on you is getting out of bed without being too lazy. Need help? We'll just tell you that a buffet breakfast awaits you in our dining room, one of those where you won't know where to start. A hint: the coffee is freshly brewed.

Sercotel Sorolla Palace
When you enter the Sercotel Sorolla Palace you will feel that there is a place in the world that can bring together everything you need to make you happy. Whatever type of traveller you are, this is the hotel for you in Valencia. Don't believe us? We can start by showing you where you will sleep. Our Sercotel Sorolla Palace has 271 rooms and, as a good 4-star superior hotel, we have taken care to think of everything and everyone.
Namely: large, spacious rooms with natural light. Comfortable single or double beds designed for your rest; pillow menu because we know how annoying it is to lie down and not be completely comfortable; and the possibility of staying with your pet. If it's summer, outdoors, either in the water or on our sun loungers in the solarium, a cocktail in one hand and probably a smartphone in the other. You have free Wi-Fi: don't be reluctant to use it. This is luxury. Or rather, luxury is being looked after. And that's something we know a lot about at the Sorolla Palace Hotel (Valencia), where we take care of it from early in the morning. The proof of this can be found in our breakfast buffet: varied and healthy. The rest of the day, we help you to organise it as you wish. Fancy doing some sport? Head to our squash court or do some cardio and strength training in our gym. A secret: it has a sauna.
Some tourism? At reception we provide you with information about our city and even sell tickets for shows and attractions. We will also tell you the best way to get to the centre of Valencia. Our luxury hotel in Valencia is located in the financial centre of the city, opposite the Conference Centre, in a perfect location to combine work and tourism, enjoying the city without suffering its crowds. We have it all so well thought out that you won't even have to go out to eat if you don't want to. Mediterranean diet, seasonal recipes and international dishes are all to be found on the menu of our restaurant El Dossel (currently closed but you can continue enjoying our menu at the L'Estany cafeteria). As we were saying: you will arrive at our hotel Sorolla Palace, park your car in our public parking (with additional cost) and forget about the world.
Even if you're here for an event, which can be a little stressful at times, you'll know that everything is under control. We put our know-how and our salons at your disposal. They are exterior, with natural light and a free Wi-Fi connection. Moreover, their versatility allows them to host events ranging from a banquet to a conference, team-building activities, celebrations, product launches and much more.

Sercotel Alcalá 611
Visit Madrid and have everything at hand. Find accommodation that allows you to combine business and leisure travel. Doing business and, at the same time, exploring a city where there is always something new to discover. Sounds easy, doesn't it? It's actually not that simple, but at the Sercotel Alcalá 611 we managed it.
No matter what kind of trip you have in mind, we know we will become your haven in the city. It is difficult to improve the possibilities offered by the location of our hotel Alcalá 611.
Business travellers, we are very close to IFEMA Conference Centre and Barajas airport. Hardened tourists, it will take you five minutes to get to the M-40 and, you know: being on the M-40 means having the whole of Madrid at your fingertips. The city centre is also just a stone's throw away by car. The bonus track? If you love football, and especially Atlético de Madrid, the Wanda Metropolitano ground is located 2 kilometres from our hotel. A night of football?
Before answering, please ask at reception. We don't want to complicate your decision, but we have tickets for various shows and excursions for sale. Not only for you, but also for the whole family.
Because, as we have said, the hotel Alcalá 611 (Madrid) is designed for all types of trips. If you come with small children, we have a babysitting service on request. If your tribe also includes a friendly furry friend, let us know before you come: everything will be ready to make your pet feel at home.
This will not be difficult. The 94 rooms of our 4-star hotel are spacious, quiet and with that natural light that makes any space warm. You won't want to leave their beds, which also come with a pillow menu.
If this micro-world that is each hotel room is catching your attention, wait until you see what we have prepared for you in the rest of the facilities of the Sercotel Alcalá 611.
Here we start the day with a buffet breakfast. Hearty, varied and tasty, just like a good hotel breakfast. We follow it up with a bit of sport in our gym or some swimming in our outdoor pool during the summer months.
At that time of year, you will find it impossible to resist reading in our solarium. The book, of course, is also provided by us. Visit our Olvidoteca, the lost and found where we keep the things that other guests have forgotten.
Don't be shy and order a cocktail. A good book always deserves a toast. Also to accompany you during a tasty meal. Check out the gastronomic range of our bar-restaurant. It is pure delight.
At the Sercotel Alcalá 611 we are also very celebratory. Whatever the event. We can host a corporate meeting or a birthday banquet. Haven't you seen our event room? Cosy, with large windows through which natural light floods in, technological equipment and the possibility of opening it up to an outdoor terrace.
We don't want you to leave. That's why we tempt our guests with a late check out (until 14.00) to make them think about whether they really want to leave. If so, your car will be waiting for you in our private car park. We can only wish you a good trip and hope to see you again soon.

Sercotel Gran Hotel Conde Duque
Madrid doesn't run, it flies. On its pavements life moves fast and on its streets the traffic never stops. It has the energy of those places where there is something going on all the time. We know that its pace is addictive, but also exhausting. For this reason, at the Sercotel Gran Hotel Conde Duque we have decided to become your refuge in the city. In fact, you'll notice your revs drop as you cross the threshold of our door. Don't be afraid of missing anything, when you decide to go out, our district, Chamberí, will pick up where you left off. And from here, the rest of the capital. We are just a short walk from the Gran Vía. Our design is warm and welcoming. Blue tones and fine woods. Yes, we can say that our Gran Hotel Conde Duque is beautiful. Very. And that our 143 rooms are the ultimate in good taste. They are versatile and designed to accommodate all types of travellers. For those travelling with a pet, too. Come in and take your shoes off.
Coquettish paintings to give it personality; wooden floors, because we know that at home you always like to go barefoot; interactive television, because we are more about looking to the future than waiting for it to reach us; a sound system with Bluetooth connection, so you can listen to your own music; a pillow menu, because if you are not going to miss your bed you shouldn't miss your pillow either; and a whole host of other details. Because at the Gran Hotel Conde Duque de Madrid we are all about details. In case you still haven't got an idea, we can tell you that, for example, we have a tea room with more than 70 different types of infusions; and we have a gastronomic service for tourists in which we have included a tapas trail. To show you the best of our city. And we are in love with Madrid. So much so that we'll be happy to share our favourite spots with you, tell you where you can see the best sunsets, get you tickets to the best tourist attractions and tell you where the best place to have a drink is. Of course you will have the penultimate one here, in the bar of our Sercotel Gran Hotel Conde Duque. No crowds, no waiting and no worries about the return trip. Madrid's nightlife is famous: you've been warned.
Here we are respectful of mornings and the way each one of us approaches them. Are you one of those who need a coffee to get going? No problem, we prepare a full breakfast with plenty of healthy organic products. Do you prefer to start your day with endorphins? In our gym, open 24 hours a day, different types of machines await you to keep up your cardio and strength routines. And if you are the travelling kind, we won't tell you to leave, but we will tell you to stop by our Olvidoteca, the place where we have collected the books that other guests have left us. As you know, there is nothing like a good story to learn about other worlds.
At the Gran Hotel Conde Duque, you are also welcome if you are here on business. In fact, as well as having free Wi-Fi in all the facilities, we have a Business Centre and an Internet Corner where you will find the peace and quiet you need to check your mail and sit down to work. And if what you need is a little more privacy for a meeting, ask us with no obligation. We have eight meeting rooms equipped with the latest technology and a team who specialise in organising all kinds of events. When it's time to leave, stop by our car park to pick up your car.

Sercotel Coliseo Bilbao
For some time now, the waters of the Bilbao estuary haven’t reflected an industrial and frankly run-down city, but rather an avant-garde, clean, pleasant and vibrant place.

Sercotel Ayala
The heart of Bilbao beats strongly in the waters of its estuary, in the Seven Streets that formed the basis of the old city; in a Guggenheim Museum that has become a world icon of modern art and in our Sercotel Ayala, a 4-star hotel located in the heart of the capital of Biscay. In fact, from the Ayala Hotel, it's only a 15-minute walk to admire the iconic floral sculpture of "Puppy", the giant West Highland Terrier that welcomes you to the Guggenheim. You won't have to walk far to get to the Old Town either. About 7 minutes separate you from its streets and the pintxos in its bars. We will talk to you about the city and everything you mustn't miss when you arrive at the Sercotel Ayala Bilbao. Don't be in a hurry, our reception is staffed 24 hours a day. Feel free to ask questions. Also everything you need to know about the hotel.
For example, the breakfast times. It is buffet style and is served in our cosy café. It is so comprehensive and copious that your real dilemma will be where to start, how to continue and what to repeat. If you have to leave very early, ask us to prepare an early bird coffee for you. Because yes, we know that the reason for your visit is likely to be work-related. That's why, in addition to that early morning coffee, we offer you a free Wi-Fi connection throughout the hotel and a magnificent lounge where you can hold meetings, talks, lectures or small events. And at the end of the day, you will feel that you are in the perfect place for your trip when we suggest you relax, after hours of sightseeing or work, with a drink in our bar.
However, if you have come with your dog, remember to save some energy to take him for a walk. Just a stone's throw from our Sercotel Ayala Bilbao you will find several green areas and parks where you can run around. You can leave the slowing down for when you get back to your room. As a good pet-friendly hotel, everything will be ready for both of you to rest. If you got here by train, don't worry about getting up early. There'll be no need. The station is only a 5-minute walk away.
