Parador de Guadalupe  

Situated in the heart of the old town of Guadalupe, this 4 star hotel is located in the province of Cáceres, Extremadura. The Parador de Guadalupe Hotel is right next to the Royal Monastery of Santa Maria of Guadalupe. Both the town and the monastery are UNESCO World Heritage sites, Guadalupe being one of the most important centres of pilgrimage in Spain since the 14th century. Surrounded by a Little garden with colourful flowers and plants, the Parador de Guadalupe Hotel started life as the Hospital of San Juan Bautista in the 16th century, and then became an important grammar school. It was also the palace of the Marques de la Romana.The cool Gothic and Mudéjar cloisters really give guests a feel for this hotel's long and important history as a centre of healing, learning and religion, which is now famed as a place of rest and relaxation. This Guadalupe boutique hotel has a secluded outdoor swimming pool and a huge dining room, with white-washed walls reminiscent of a monastic refectory. The food, however, is any but frugal, as you can enjoy hearty portions of the best Extremaduran cuisine, including many local favourites. There are also 3 fully-equipped conference suites, which are waiting to host your next business meeting.
