"Facing the Turia Gardens in a converted 19th‑century city palace, this intimate, light‑washed address blends original grandeur—heavy wooden doors, abundant marble—with serene silvers, whites, and creams across two buildings that once formed a private residence. A lush courtyard garden supplies aromatics for the kitchen; 66 rooms offer wenge floors, white‑marble bathrooms, queen‑size beds, and Egyptian cotton sheets, with pre‑slumber bliss found at the Bodyna Spa (pool, Turkish bath, sauna, fitness area, and treatments). At Ampar, chef Carlos Julián leans into nearby farms and orchards for produce, seafood like octopus and red mullet with all i pebre, and an impressive lineup of rice dishes." - María Casbas
