Stay in the Heart of History: Discover Spain's Legendary Parador Hotels

Imagine waking within the walls of a medieval castle, dining in a converted 15th-century monastery, or enjoying a sunset from the terrace of a former royal palace. This is the experience that awaits you in Spain's remarkable Parador hotels. More than just a place to stay, these are destinations in their own right - magnificent historic buildings, lovingly restored and transformed into hotels of exceptional character and comfort.

With Great Rail Journeys, we invite you to step beyond the ordinary and journey through the soul of Spain, with these incredible properties as your home along the way.

What Makes a Parador Stay So Unforgettable?

Chosen for their cultural, historical, and artistic significance, each Parador offers a unique window into the story of Spain. While every hotel has its own distinct personality, they all share a commitment to providing an authentic and enriching experience.

A Journey Through Time

Many Paradors are national monuments. You could be staying in a fortress that once guarded ancient borders, a tranquil convent that housed centuries of quiet contemplation, or a palace that played host to Spanish royalty. The history is not confined to a museum; it is all around you, from the coats of arms carved in stone to the grand halls you walk through.

Locations of Outstanding Beauty

Paradors are often situated in the most spectacular locations. Whether perched atop a cliff with panoramic views of the coast, nestled in the heart of a vibrant historic city, or set amidst the rolling vineyards of a peaceful valley, your surroundings are an integral part of the experience.

A Taste of Authentic Spain

Dining in a Parador is a celebration of regional gastronomy. With a deep commitment to local traditions and the finest seasonal produce, their chefs create exquisite dishes that tell the story of the local landscape. It is a culinary journey that perfectly complements your travels.

  • Paradors of Andalucía: Journey through the sun-drenched landscapes and Moorish wonders of southern Spain. From the Alhambra's splendour to Seville's vibrant streets, you will stay in historic fortresses that offer a true taste of Andalucían spirit.
