The upper-middle-range Magnolia Hotel is a 72-room, adult-only property set back a few minutes' walk from the beach and the promenade in the center of Salou. Communal areas and rooms have contemporary decor, with dark-wood and brightly colored furniture throughout. All rooms come with air-conditioning, sizable showers, and furnished outdoor spaces, though some guests complains of thin walls. The hotel has one small pool in an attractive terrace, plus a well-equipped spa and tiny gym with a few pieces of equipment. A continental breakfast is served buffet-style in the on-site restaurant, and dinner is served a la carte. Guests looking for a similar, adult-only experience in a livelier hotel should consider the H10 Delfin.

The upper-middle-range Regente Aragon is an 80-room boutique hotel in Salou, five minutes' walk from the town’s promenade and beach. The hotel is decorated in a modern and eclectic manner, with dark wood and jazzy furniture throughout the communal areas, and small but tastefully decorated rooms. The roof terrace is home to a small pool, as well as comfortable loungers and sofas. An excellent and large continental breakfast is served in the restaurant, as are a la carte dinners. A spacious but minimally equipped gym is on-site, but there are no spa or kid-centric facilities. Couples looking for a similar boutique experience may prefer the nearby and adult-only Magnolia Hotel, which has a spa and larger room balconies.

The upper-middle-range H10 Delfin is an adult-only hotel in the centre of Salou, about a five-minute walk from the beach. It has a modern, stylish design throughout, though the 242 rooms are less impressive than public spaces. Rooms have minimal decor and there are fees for mini-fridges and safes, though they come with flat-screen TVs, balconies, and free Wi-Fi. There's no spa, but the hotel has two outdoor pools, both of which have whirlpools, as well as a small gym and game room. Breakfast and dinner are served buffet-style, and although full- and half-board rates are available, reviews of the food are mixed. However, given its central location, it's not hard to find other places to eat. Families looking for a similar style of hotel that also caters to children should check out the H10 Mediterranean Village.
