Murcia to get its first five-star hotel next spring


ARCHIVED ARTICLE -

The historic Arco de San Juan reopens with luxury rooms, fine dining and a rooftop pool in the heart of the city

Murcia to get its first five-star hotel next springMurcia is about to turn a new page in its tourism story. Next spring, the city will welcome its very first five-star hotel, as the iconic Hotel Arco de San Juan throws open its doors after a major transformation. Housed in a historic building right beside the cathedral, it promises to bring a new level of style and comfort right into the heart of the Old Quarter.
 
The refurbishment has been ambitious. When it reopens, the hotel will offer 70 elegant rooms, a rooftop swimming pool with sweeping city views, and terraces where guests can relax and soak up the atmosphere. Add to that stylish social areas and chic interiors blending history with modern design, and it is clear the Arco de San Juan aims to be much more than just a place to stay.
 
Food will play a central role too. A fine dining restaurant, led by a well-known chef, will showcase the best of Murcian produce, aiming to make the hotel a destination in itself for food lovers. Locals as well as visitors will be able to enjoy a taste of the city at its highest culinary level.
 
For Murcia, this is something of a milestone. Up until now, the city has lacked a five-star option, often falling behind nearby destinations when it comes to high-end tourism. The reopening of the Arco de San Juan is expected to change that, encouraging international visitors to stay longer and giving locals a new spot they can be proud of.
 
The project has also been careful to respect the building’s heritage while adding all the comforts modern travellers expect, from accessibility to high-quality infrastructure. It is a blend of old and new designed to reflect Murcia’s spirit.
 
The countdown is now on. By next spring, Murcia will finally step into the luxury league with the return of the Arco de San Juan - a hotel that looks set to become not just somewhere to stay, but one of the city’s must-visit spots.
