Parador de Santiago de Compostela
The oldest hotel in Spain
The Parador de Santiago de Compostela is one of the oldest and most luxurious hotels in Spain. It is in the Plaza del Obradoiro next to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, one of the most visited cathedrals in the world, and has witnessed the passage of pilgrims over the centuries. It began as a Royal Hospital with the Catholic Monarchs to offer them shelter and today it’s known as Hostal dos Reis Católicos. The historic building preserves the Plateresque façade on the outside, four cloisters, elegant corridors and hallways, spectacular rooms, and a museum in its interior.
The Hotel has the largest collection of Madrid School paintings in the Paradors collection. In Santiago de Compostela alone, more than 140 works by artists including Martínez Novillo, Álvaro Delgado and Menchu Gal are on display.What’s more, the Parador has a business centre with large-capacity, spacious rooms for holding corporate and private events and celebrations of all kinds; it is equipped with the best technology and services to guarantee their success.
Beyond the Camino de Santiago, the city offers visitors a multitude of options, such as walking routes to discover the monuments in its streets and squares, walks through its parks and gardens and, if you have time, excursions to explore the Galician estuaries.
