Hotel Blaucel  

On Spain’s Costa Brava in Blanes, a spa hotel a short walk from the town center. Steps from Treumal and Santa Cristina beaches and Gnomo Park, and a minute’s drive to Platja de S'Abanell — Lloret de Mar and Tossa de Mar are an easy drive away.

144 guestrooms with minibars, TVs, private bathrooms with bathtubs, hair dryers and desks keep things simple and comfortable. The hotel pairs a lively bar and café vibe with a dedicated wellness area — think a full-service spa, massage room and sauna. Indoor and outdoor pools plus a seasonal outdoor pool, fitness center, table tennis and mini-golf add active options.

Soak in indoor and outdoor pools, book spa treatments or unwind in the sauna and massage room. There’s a gym, mini-golf and ping-pong for play, plus a bar/lounge and café for easy evenings. Practical perks include tour assistance, transfers, on-site self-parking (charges), laundry, car rental, safe-deposit boxes and an elevator — wake up to sea-breeze mornings and head straight to the shore.

Complimentary wireless internet is available across the property and rooms include desks for working. You’ll also find tour/ticket assistance and a 24-hour front desk for support.

Enjoy meals in the on-site restaurant serving local flavors, grab snacks and coffee in the café, or unwind with drinks in the bar/lounge. Simple, regional tastes pair well with post-beach or post-spa downtime.
