This Arab parador in the southern Spanish city of Jaén is located in a monumental 13th century fortress. The 4 star hotel offers a pool, first class Andalusian gourmet cuisine, and beautiful accommodation in historic surroundings!
The Parador de Jaén in Andalusia
The Parador de Jaén can be found on the hill Cerro de Santa Catalina directly next to the castle of the same name. From its high vantage point, this romantic 4 star hotel with its 45 bright rooms enjoys a fantastic vista over the Sierra Nevada mountain range. This Arab castle is impressive not only due to its monumental outer wall, but also for its grand interior architecture in Andalusian Renaissance style with pointed archways up to 20 meters in height! The historic atmosphere is especially present in the communal areas: outside by the pool and inside in the bar, the fireplace room, and the restaurant.
Historic charm & gourmet cuisine
The festive Arab dining room features natural stone walls, knight’s armor, red velvet armchairs, a fireplace, and choice relics from the history of this parador – a mix of Oriental culture and European Middle Ages! Fittingly the restaurant serves Andalusian specialties such as partridge salad or wild asparagus with cod, capers, and white truffles.
Residing in this Parador
The large, hand-made beds in this romantic hotel provide wonderful sleep. All rooms are full of details such as canopies, historic wall hangings, and paintings. Breakfast on your own balcony with a view over the castle walls and the neighboring valley is an experience you’ll surely never forget!
