Summer is the high season in Sitges, so we suggest booking your accommodations early! Below are links to hotels that we suggest. We've listed a range of options for different price points and preferences. Be sure to choose refundable options for your accommodations in case your plans change.
Hotel
Boutique hotel that offers an exceptional beachfront location and sea views. The rooms are fantastic; we stayed here during our visit and were very impressed. Guests can enjoy a generous breakfast included in their stay, along with access to an outdoor pool and a well-equipped fitness center. However, with only 14 rooms, this hotel tends to book up quickly, especially during peak seasons. It also falls into a higher price range, which may not suit every budget.
Hotel
Modern five-star hotel that is part of the Marriott Autograph Collection. We will provide bus transportation to and from the wedding from this hotel. Every room is a spacious suite, featuring a separate living area and a terrace with distant ocean views. The hotel has fantastic amenities (the pool and gym are awesome!). It is not directly on the beach like many of the other hotels (about a 10-minute walk from the beach, though they provide free shuttles and bikes for convenience).
Hotel
Beachfront four-star hotel with a prime location right on the beach promenade. We will provide bus transportation to and from the wedding from this hotel. It's an easy walk to the town center and offers absolutely fantastic sea views from many rooms. The hotel has a mix of renovated and older rooms, so experiences can vary. The pool is small but the location makes up for it. Breakfast is decent but not outstanding. If you prioritize location and don't mind potentially dated rooms, it's a reliable option.
Hotel
Five star hotel that comes highly recommended. It's a bit removed from Sitges village center but it's lovely, modern and has a great vibe. Beach front with a generous breakfast and beach bar. If you don't mind being out of the hustle of the center of town, its an easy and flat 20 minute walk along the beach promenade to the town center - or a 5 minute taxi ride.
House Or Rental
Four-star hotel with a central location, close to both the beach and town center. It's a smaller property with a modern, minimalist design. The rooftop terrace with a pool offers great views. Rooms are clean and well-appointed, though they are not renovated and some find them on the small side. It's a good mid-range option if you want to be close to everything without the beachfront price tag, but don't expect expansive facilities.
Hotel
2-Star boutique hotel with a prime location just a short walk from the town center and the beach. There are only 11 rooms so it can book up quickly during peak seasons. The outdoor pool and breakfast are highly rated but there is no elevator or room service. If you value character and location over luxury amenities, Hotel El Xalet is a solid choice.
