History is woven into the very fabric of the Parador de Santiago de Compostela. Established in the early 16th century by the Catholic Monarchs to provide lodging and medical care for exhausted pilgrims, it’s believed to be the oldest hotel in Spain.
You’ll see this rich heritage on display throughout the building, from the elaborate Plateresque façade at the entrance to the cloistered courtyards within. And in its Restaurant dos Reis, you’ll dine beneath striking original stone arches. The hotel is also home to an extensive collection of artwork, exhibiting over 140 pieces by painters including Martínez Novillo, Álvaro Delgado, and Menchu Gal.
The property is centrally located in the Plaza del Obradoiro square, just across from the Cathedral de Santiago de Compostela. You can admire its intricate Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque architecture with a drink in hand from the hotel’s terrace, and spot tired pilgrims reaching the end of the Camino de Santiago.
Today, you don’t have to be a pilgrim to enjoy a comfortable stay at the Parador de Santiago de Compostela. A mixture of bedrooms and suites are available, all spacious, classically decorated, and well appointed.
