Where to stay in Elche
Staying in the city centre puts you closest to the market and Elche's palmeral. City Centre is your best base, with hotels and apartments within easy walking distance of Puertas Coloradas. The Hotel Huerto del Cura is a well-regarded option if you want something with a bit more character, set among the famous palm gardens.
