Parador de León, León, Castile Leon

The province of Castile and León in the north west of Spain has a certain special charm owing to its impressive natural landscape of far reaching high plateaus, deep gorges and a variety of ancient castles. The capital León is rich in the architectonical know-how of the Spaniards: between the cathedral, basilica and the neo-gothic trading house designed by Antoni Gaudí you will find a magnificent monastery dating back to the 16th century, the Parador de León. This monumental building today houses a stylish 5 star hotel, which offers a surprising symbiosis of its spiritual surroundings and modern lifestyle.

The 5 star hotel Parador de León
The former monastery from the Spanish renaissance period is not what you would normally expect from this type of religious building. Architectonical

splendor graces this monumental building right down to the last stone. The smart and unconventional luxury hotel in Spain welcomes its guests in over 200 rooms and suites. Also the facade in its Plateresque style is fascinating. In the church, choir stalls, chapter house and monastical cloister of the Parador de León you can get a real feel for the clerical craftsmanship. Many of the paintings and hand crafted wall altars can also be found hanging in the lounge rooms at this 5 star hotel in León. Precious furniture and brocade material create a regal and luxurious ambience. The hotel restaurant, the bar and the conference and lounge rooms present an extravagant, opulent design in deep red.

The rooms and suites
The Parador de León in Castile houses 210 stylishly decorated single and double rooms and 16 wonderful suites. The outfit is of the finest, classical luxury: quality silk and brocade fabric decorate as drapes, bed throws and the canopies over the hand crafted four poster beds. The furniture at the luxury hotel is made up of antique unique copies. The color schemes at the Parador de León are particularly unusual: if you would like a royal touch then book a room in the courtly king’s blue or a suite in opulent crimson.

Further hotel facilities
In the restaurant of the very refined 5 star hotel Parador de León delicious dishes from Castile are served in the finest of ambiences. The hotel bar is a modern, smart meeting place, in which impressive, high reaching archways create a historic feel. In the various royal halls you can take a trip back in time and marvel at the ancient paintings and altars. The 5 star hotel also has helpful services such as an elevator, money changer, parking and its own shop. Furthermore, at this conference hotel in León there are several stylish meeting rooms all fitted with modern technology for conferences.
