Parador Alcala de Henares
The Parador Alcala de Henares occupies a magnificent 17th century building, the ancient Dominican Collegiate-Convent of Santo Tomas de Aquino. The original building of the Parador of Alcala de Henares was built in the seventeenth-century, but all the building has been restored in a modern way, although some parts preserve the ancient look.
The Hosteria del Estudiante is located in the ancient Colegio Menor de San Jeronimo, founded by Cardinal Cisneros in 1510, and has marvellous views of the Patio Trilingue of the Universidad de Alcala de Henares. Together they form part of the monumental collection of the city of Alcala de Henares, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1998.
Our first stay in a Parador and we loved it! Fantastic rooms and we also had some laughs with the lights and blinds. Loved the walk in shower. The service was excellent and we would definately recommend it!
A different hotel style to the previous Parador (Lerma) we stayed at - very high tech, so much we had lots of laughs trying to operate the lights and curtains using the remote controls.
A bit pricey.
A lovely place to stay - rooms just fabulous.
Only sour note - even as residents we had to pay an extra charge for drinks on the terrace!
