Paella, Parties & Pride: Win a 2-Night Stay at Axel Hotel Valencia!

The iconic Axel Hotel chain is known for the world’s very first hotels designed specifically for the LGBTQIA+ community. Now they’re expanding their “heterofriendly” empire by opening a brand-new hotel in Valencia, a stunning Spanish city famous for being the birthplace of paella, a cathedral that (allegedly) houses the Holy Grail, the sci-fi-like City of Arts and Sciences, thumping gay nightlife, hunk-filled beaches, fireworks, and fiestas.

To celebrate, we’re offering the chance to win a two-night stay for two at the hotel—without spending a single euro. Winners will bag themselves a balcony room within a majestic 17th-century building that was once a dance club in the ’70s. You’ll have access to a baroque-style café, a luxurious wellness club, and be just steps away from the beating heart of the city.

Enter now for a chance to discover one of Spain’s most authentic cities with Axel Hotel serving as your passionate hosts!
