The Parador de Santiago
Set in the emblematic Plaza del Obradoiro, right beside the majestic Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, the Parador of Santiago—also known as Hostal dos Reis Católicos—is considered the oldest hotel in Spain. This historic building, dating back to the 15th century, was originally commissioned by the Catholic Monarchs as a Royal Hospital to shelter pilgrims arriving in the city.
The Parador blends Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements, featuring an impressive façade and four interior cloisters that invite peace and reflection. Its elegant corridors and hallways, adorned with artworks and period furnishings, transport guests through centuries of history—offering a unique experience that merges tradition with modern comfort.
The culinary offerings at the Parador are a tribute to the rich Galician gastronomy. Its restaurants serve a variety of traditional dishes made with high-quality local products, allowing guests to savor the authentic flavors of the region in a sophisticated and welcoming atmosphere.
Thanks to its strategic location in the heart of Santiago de Compostela, the Parador offers privileged access to the city’s main attractions. In addition to the nearby Cathedral, guests can easily explore the old town—declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site—with its narrow streets, charming squares, and vibrant cultural life.
