Parador de Santo Domingo de la Calzada, La Rioja, Spain

FORMER HOSPITAL ON THE PILGRIMS' ROAD TO SANTIAGO

The Parador occupies a 12th c. former hospital, next to the cathedral, built by Saint Dominic to give shelter to the pilgrims on the Road to Santiago. In a regal and elegant style, it has majestic living rooms and a lobby with Gothic arches and wooden coffered ceilings.

Noble materials and bright colours - blues and whites - lead to comfortable bedrooms, decorated with exquisite taste; some have four poster beds. A warm, harmonious and balanced environment, also suitable for social functions and meetings.

Guest room / Habitacion

In the restaurant, the Piquillo peppers are the best choice here, especially if they are stuffed. The vegetable soup reminds us of the many orchards in the region. Of course, everything accompanied by the superb Rioja wines.
