The Gran Hotel Peñíscola is an independent four-star hotel on the northern stretch of the seafront promenade, at 132-136 Avenida Papa Luna, on the front line of the more than 7 km of beach running from Peñíscola to Benicarló. The old town and castle are about 4 km along the promenade. It has 422 rooms, refurbished in 2020, and is designed for families: it holds the Children Friendly and Comunitat Valenciana family tourism seals.

All rooms have a terrace, full bathroom with hairdryer, TV, fridge, independent air conditioning and heating; the safe is paid separately, as are the sea views. The family room, of 14 m², has two 135 beds for two adults and two children, and is offered with front views of the beach, side views towards Benicarló or as a premium terrace, on the first floor, with two sun loungers. The junior suites, of 18 m², add a sofa bed and sleep up to six. The Gran Suite, of 32 m², has two bedrooms each with a bathroom and a shared lounge, for large groups.
