Parador de Santiago De Compostela
About
Parador de Santiago de Compostela is Spain’s oldest hotel, steeped in history and royal heritage. Located on the historic Plaza do Obradoiro just steps from the world‑famous Cathedral of Santiago, the building was originally a Royal Hospital for the Catholic Monarchs and is now a unique blend of medieval architecture and modern luxury. Guests can explore its Plateresque façade, four cloisters, elegant corridors, and a museum inside the historic walls showcasing over 140 works of the Madrid School. The hotel’s rooms, ranging from Standard Double to Superior and Junior Suites, offer breathtaking views of the nearby cathedral and the Galician landscape. Beyond the historic charm, the Parador is renowned for its regional cuisine, with two signature restaurants: the luxurious Restaurante dos Reis and the lively Restaurante Enxebre, both celebrating Galicia’s celebrated dishes such as Padrón peppers and Tarta de Santiago. The property also hosts a business centre, conference rooms, and a range of leisure amenities, making it ideal for both leisure and corporate travelers. Whether you arrive on a pilgrimage, on a cultural trip, or simply looking for a weekend escape, Parador de Santiago combines heritage, comfort, and gastronomy for an unforgettable experience.
