THE WORLD’S OLDEST HOTEL
Not only is it reputed to be the world’s oldest hotel, the Parador de Santiago de Compostela – or the Hostal dos Reis Católico as it is also known – is probably one of the most beautiful. And it’s the perfect base for your own pilgrimage to the wonderful historic sites and unspoiled ancient buildings of one of the most sacred and picturesque towns in the whole of Spain.
Start your journey by wandering around the hotel itself. You’ll find some of the peace and spiritual serenity sought by those original pilgrims still lingers on in the atmosphere of the four, beautifully preserved cloisters. And, without intruding, there is modernity too. Your room will count a designer en suite and hi-tech entertainment amongst its host of modern refinements.

The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
