It's been a long time coming, but finally the beach gets an affordable hotel in the shape of the 54. There's neon mood lighting above the bed, while muted tones of dove grey and charcoal against steel, blond-wood and glass give it a contemporary feel. It has one of the best roof terraces in the city for cocktails, with great views of the port, and you can get tapas at Snack 54. It has been taken over by Best Western but little has changed.
