Parador de Úbeda
About
The Parador de Úbeda is the first palace in the city to be transformed into a Parador, a unique hotel that marries the grandeur of Renaissance architecture with modern comforts. Situated on the Plaza de Vázquez Molina, the hotel sits amid a UNESCO‑listed historic quarter, surrounded by iconic monuments such as the church of Santa María, the clock tower, and the Chapel of the Salvador. The building’s façade and its splendid central courtyard are renowned as some of the most beautiful in Úbeda, bathing the interior in natural light. Guests can explore the historic streets, enjoy Andalusian regional cuisine in the on‑site restaurant, and use the Parador’s modern facilities for conferences or events. The hotel’s proximity to natural parks such as Cazorla, Segura y las Villas, and Sierra Mágina also makes it an appealing base for outdoor adventures.
