Hotel Horitzó , 109 rooms
From: To: Availability
The Horitzó design hotel in Blanes has great views of the Mediterranean and direct access to S’Abanell Beach. It has free Wi-Fi and a free gym.
The large rooms have a private terrace or balcony, air conditioning, telephone and flat-screen TV. Most also have hydro-massage shower.
The spa includes an indoor heated swimming pool, Turkish baths, sauna and jacuzzi.
The hotel’s restaurant offers international cuisine with buffet breakfast. There is a choice of different set menus for lunch and dinner.
The town of Blanes has several popular beaches and marks the beginning of the Costa Brava. The hotel is about half a mile from the center of town, where you will find a range of restaurants.
Hotel Horitzó is in Blanes
The Costa Brava ends (or begins) in Blanes. Sa Palomera, a jagged rock between the port and the beach is the symbolic milestone. This seafaring town with a long- standing tradition of coastal shipping developed in a semi-circular bay dominated by a hill upon which the ruins of the Sant Joan Castle stand. The town has a seafront promenade and interesting historic monuments including Gothic buildings erected by the lineage of Viscounts of Cabrera, such as the mansion or the fountain on the Carrer Ample, a remarkable octagonal-shaped fountain dating from the 15th century. The Fishing Research Institute has an interesting aquarium with Mediterranean fauna.
Surrounded by the Vilar Hill (269 meters) and the San Joan Mountain (166 meters), its center lies near the end of the Tordera river. Blanes also has some of the most important beaches and coves of the Costa Brava.
Undoubtedly one of the main attractions of the city are its botanical gardens. If you love this kind of gardens or want to see its beautiful and exotic plants you should know that Blanes has two botanical gardens of great importance. The first is Marimurtra, which contains more than 3,000 species from all continents. Likewise you can also visit the Botanical Garden Pinya de Rosa, which owns, among other natural treasures, a large collection of cactus.
The historical legacy of Blanes is really interesting. In this village lived Iberians, Romans (the old place name comes from them: Blandae), feudal lords and, above all, from XIXth century the Catalan bourgeoisie, who took advantage of this excellent coastal not far from Barcelona to build some interesting villas near the sea.
However Blanes has been traditionally a fishing village. A tour through the old part of the town shows a significant architectural heritage, such as Casa de la Vila (Town Hall), dating from the XIXth century, the Fountain of the Mina Cristalina (from 1854), the Gothic Fountain (fifteenth century, the best preserved of Catalan Gothic architecture), the Plaza dels Feiners Dies (the square where the market took place in medieval times). Nor has to miss the Palace of the Viscounts of Cabrera (from the fourteenth century) and the Castle of Sant Joan, located at the top of the mountain of the same name, which also offers magnificent views of the south coast of Blanes.
Just from the top of the castle you get magnificent views of the longest sandy beach of Blanes: S'Abanell. The promontory in the middle of the beach is Sa Palomera, the first big rock that welcomes the Costa Brava, and to his right extends a long seaside boulevard which stretches almost to the end of the Tordera river. This is the most tourist area of Blanes, and offers a wide range of services to its visitors.
On the other side, behind the port, you find the cove of Santa Anna, Cala Treumal (the smallest cove, close to the botanical garden Pinya Rosa), and the Beach Sant Francesc, surrounded by an idyllic pine forest that provides easy access. Next to it is the Sant Francesc Hermitage.
Blanes, is also an interesting city that maintains an active calendar of cultural events throughout the year. The most important ones are the Interacional Fireworks Competition, the Carpets of Flowers Day (when mosaics of flowers are set up on many streets in June), the Local Festival Blanes Day (in August) and the Carnival Parade (in February).

Being away from the typical low cost holidays environment is a real bonus, in particular during breakfast and dinner time. Good dressing code and good manners. No late noises in corridors even though there were young people Just a minor detail. No telephone directory to ring reception or hotel services |

We are a retired couple with a grown-up son and spent 5 nights here in early July 2013. We booked on the internet and got exactly what we asked for - 2x 4th floor rooms, each with a seaview. The hotel was an oasis of calm efficiency with friendly English-speaking receptionists & a good selection of food for breakfast (included in the room rate). We did not use the Spa & gym facilities. The hotel was very well situated, being just over the road from the beach & within easy walking distance between the old town & port of Blanes (remarkably unspoilt) & the more touristy S'Abanell. Boat trips are available locally & there are markets & cliff-top botanical gardens to visit. Covered parking is available via the hotel at 15 euros a day but nearby blue-zone public parking spaces are 6 euros a day & free overnight. We would happily return to this hotel. Just a minor detail. No telephone directory to ring reception or hotel services |

Location is really good. The staff was friendly and welcoming, most speak English which is a plus. I had a small single bed room with the sea view terrace, nice and cosy, just right for a solo traveller. Wi-fi connection was good as well. Nice breakfast in the morning. Overall enjoyed my stay in this hotel. If I went there again I would stay in this hotel. But I didn't like Blanes itself, but that is another matter. Expensive menu in the restaurant, very small portions for a lot of money. Had to dine elsewhere as my stay included only breakfasts. !!!! There was no iron in the room or even a kettle. I like to have tea in the evening and had to go to a local cafe for that, although would be nice to have it on my little terrace enjoying the sea view. I had to pay €12 to get my dress ironed in the hotel which I think is a disgrace. They should provide irons and kettles in the room, it is not much to ask for the money we pay. |

Шикарнейший очень разнообразный завтрак, не зря у них Мишленовскими звездами вся дверь оклеена )) очень внимательный и приветливый персонал. Номера просторные, светлые. Надо брать с видом на море, тк с балкона открывается прекрасный вид, а в противном случае будет стена следующего дома. Ничего |

Las habitaciones muy correctas. El baño es muy amplio e iluminado; la presión del agua de la ducha excelente. Pero lo mejor, el desayuno; un buffette acorde con el precio y con una calidad buenísima de todos los productos. Aún siendo domingo, el pan era recién hecho y había diversidad de panes. Un lujo poder desayunar en la terraza con vistas al mar. Muy recomendable ya que el hotel no está enfocado a turistas y tiene un ambiente tranquilo y agradable. Nos topamos con alguna empleada un poco borde, aunque en general el trato es correcto. El parking cuesta 15 euros, lo que nos pareció un precio demasiado alto. La tv no funcionaba del todo bien debido a la baja señal de la antena |
