Parador of Santiago de Compostela
“Hostal dos Reis Catolicos”
In the Praza do Obradoiro, Parador Santiago de Compostela continues the tradition begun in 1499 of offering shelter to pilgrims making their way to Santiago de Compostela. Originally a hostel and a hospital, the property is now what many consider the oldest hotel in the world. Enjoy the serene inner courtyard, four beautiful cloisters, and gracious living rooms that conjure the elegance of Spain’s golden age. Guest rooms feature Spanish antiques of carved wood, graceful stone arches, four-poster beds, and brocade upholstery. A luxurious dining room offers delicious Galician fare, including classic apple filloas and crème brûlée.
