The Parador de Santo Domingo Bernardo de Fresneda is one of two parador hotels in Santo Domingo de la Calzada. The modern-furnished, old convent hotel is situated at the edge of the historic little town. Be it for a stop-off on a pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago or as accommodation for a vacation to the Rioja region, this parador is perfect for every occasion.
Historic hotel along the Camino de Santiago
This quiet hotel with its 47 rooms is housed in the former pilgrims’ quarters of the convent, which have a light and welcoming interior design surrounded by medieval walls. The building itself dates back to the 16th century. The classic furnishings in all of the hotel areas are stylish and comfortable. Really friendly service, a restaurant serving northern Spanish cuisine and free parking round off your stay.
The guest rooms
The rooms at this historic hotel have all been furnished in a classic, comfortable style. Really spacious and spotlessly clean, they guarantee a pleasant stay. The superior rooms are especially nice with even more living space, charming antique beds and comfortable wing-back chairs.
The restaurant
In-keeping with the philosophy of the parador, the hotel restaurant mixes contemporary cooking with regional recipes. Traditional dishes from Rioja, like pimientos del piquillo, costillas del cordero (lamb cutlets) and tarta de Santo Domingo are served under the convent’s vaulted ceiling. There is also an impressive selection of Rioja wines which you can choose from with the help of the excellent sommelier.
