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.
