If you want to pair golf in the Valencia region with a proper city break, Hotel SH Colón Valencia is a smart place to base yourself. Set right on Calle Colón, just 200 metres from Valencia Norte station, it puts shops, restaurants and the old town within easy reach while giving you a comfortable 4-star base between rounds.

This is not an on-course resort and it does not try to be one. What it offers instead is a well-located, characterful city hotel with genuine personality. Local Valencian artists have contributed a permanent collection of work throughout the building, so the communal spaces feel more like a gallery than a standard hotel corridor. There is a warmth here that many four-star city properties simply do not manage.

The Lonja de la Seda silk exchange is a short walk away, the cathedral sits just beyond the edge of the old town and the city's bar and restaurant scene is on your doorstep from the moment you check in. For golfers, the city-centre setting works well if you want to combine tee times with everything Valencia has to offer off the course. You can head out to play in the wider Valencia area, then be back in the city for dinner and drinks without losing the evening to a long resort transfer.

Who is this for?
Golfers and groups who want a proper city-centre base in Valencia, and anyone who values good food, culture and a hotel with real personality alongside their golf.

Who is it best for?
Societies, couples and small groups who want to combine quality golf with the full Valencia experience, from paella on a sun-drenched terrace to evening drinks in a stylish lobby bar, without sacrificing comfort or convenience.

Accommodation at Hotel SH Colon Valencia

The hotel has 91 rooms spread across five categories, and the range gives every type of golf traveller a sensible option. Standard rooms come in at 16 m² and are fully soundproofed, which is more useful than it sounds when you are sharing a city block with a busy shopping street. Each room includes air conditioning, a minibar, a safe, a television and a modern en-suite bathroom. The beds are comfortable and the rooms do exactly what you need after an early start and a full day on the course.

Step up to a Standard with City Views and you get the added pleasure of looking out over Calle Colón itself. It is a small upgrade in cost but a noticeable one in atmosphere, particularly if you are staying for more than a night or two. The Premium category introduces a king-size bed and a more open, minimalist layout with noticeably more floor space. If you want room to unpack properly and organise your kit for the next morning without living out of a suitcase, this is the category to go for.

For golfing groups, the room mix is genuinely useful. Standard rooms suit shorter stays or solo travellers keeping costs down, while Premium rooms and Junior Suites give you the space to relax properly between rounds. Junior Suites offer 27 m² and a king-size bed, with enough room to feel settled for a longer trip. The top of the range is the Suite at 39 m², which has two bedrooms and king-size beds throughout. It is a strong option for couples who want their own space or for a group organiser who wants a bit of extra comfort as a reward for sorting the whole trip.

Across all categories, the in-room facilities are consistent and practical. Soundproofing, air conditioning, minibar, safe, television and modern bathrooms are standard throughout, which all adds up when you are dealing with early tee times and late evenings. The bathrooms are well finished and functional, with enough space to get ready without a queue forming. Storage is adequate across the board, though the Junior Suite and Suite categories give you noticeably more room to spread out your gear.

Throughout every category, the rooms carry original artwork by Valencian artists, which gives the hotel a more individual feel than most city-centre properties at this price point. The rooms feel considered rather than copied floor by floor, and that makes a difference over the course of a multi-night stay.

Food & Drink

Food and drink here centres on two spaces, and both work well for a golf break. Food & Terrace Colón sits on the first floor and serves from brunch through to dinner, with the terrace coming into its own in the evenings. The menu focuses on Mediterranean dishes and local Valencian produce, with enough choice for a light lunch between rounds or a more relaxed sit-down meal at the end of the day. The terrace setting is relaxed and sociable, with warm evening air and a pace that suits a group winding down after a day on the course.

The Lounge downstairs operates as the hotel's lobby bar and it is a genuinely good place to land after a round. The design is clean and open, with comfortable seating and a drinks menu that runs from a strong espresso in the morning through to cocktails and wine after dinner. It is the sort of bar where the conversation flows easily and the evening stretches out naturally. For a city that takes food as seriously as Valencia does, the hotel holds its own without overpromising.

Leisure Facilities

This is a city hotel, so the focus is on practical extras rather than resort-style leisure facilities. There is a gym on site, useful for an early workout before heading to the course or a stretch after a long day on your feet. It is a dedicated space with enough equipment to cover the basics, and it does the job well.

The artwork throughout the hotel gives it a more distinctive feel than many city-centre properties. The permanent collection features pieces by established and emerging Valencian artists, with rotating exhibitions adding variety over longer stays. It is the kind of detail that makes the hotel feel genuinely worth staying in, not just sleeping in.

There is also a covered private garage available for a small additional fee, which is a practical bonus if you are travelling with a car full of clubs and want to avoid the hassle of Valencia's street parking. The 24-hour concierge team can assist with tourist information, transfers and laundry, and three meeting rooms are available for societies or corporate groups who need a space to gather before or after a day on the course.
