Choosing where to stay in Cádiz depends largely on what you want from your visit. The historic Old Town puts you close to the cathedral, plazas, tapas bars and many of the city’s main sights, while the area around Playa de la Victoria offers a very different experience, with a long sandy beach and larger modern hotels.
I’ve been visiting and working in Cádiz for many years and have stayed in hotels in different parts of the city. On this page I’ve picked out some hotels worth considering, but I’ve also included practical advice on the best areas to stay, so you can choose accommodation that suits your trip rather than simply picking the highest-rated hotel.
