Beyond any doubt the main attraction here is the theatre and the amphitheatre at Merida. Imagine fourteen thousand people shouting, watching the beasts
and the gladiators fighting.
This Parador keeps the structure of the 18th century convent that was built on the remains of a temple dedicated to the Concordia de Augusto. Roman, Mudejar and Visigothic artifacts adorn the interior creating an intimate, welcoming atmosphere. The main sitting room is in the former chapel
of the convent,
Numerous gastronomic suggestions are offered by the restaurant.
As well as the international dishes on the menu, there are specialist dishes for those requiring a gluten free diet A visit to the Roman Theatre and the Amphitheatre of Merida is a must. The National Museum of Roman Art displays many attractions.
The Festival of Classical (Greek and Roman) Drama is held every month
of July in Merida. In the first week of September, you should go to the
Fair of Merida, and to the Feast of Santa Eulalia Martir held every 10th
of December.

| We stayed one night in Merida. The hotel is situated in a great location for visiting the square and the Roman ruins. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was large and comfortable but the bathroom should be updated. The breakfast spread was good, typical offerings. We had dinner there which was average. We got lucky and parked on the street versus paying for the parking garage. We also love the "golden days" discount for people 55 and older. We would recommend this hotel for visiting the Roman ruins, which by the way are outstanding. |

| I stayed one night, in the end of March. The reception and other personal were nice and very helpful to all my requests. The room was good with a nice view of the garden. There was no traffic or other noise. The location is excellent, right in the the town center. The historical sites in Merida are magnificent, and certainly makes the town worth a visit. The breakfast was good, with many local dishes, not just the standard international hotel buffet. I usually do not eat hotel breakfasts, since they tend to be expensive and "boring", a local cafe is often a far better alternative. This was however a worthwhile exception. I did not try the restaurant. I recommend this parador. |
