Overview
Spend a short and relaxing break in the luxurious Parador de Cuenca, with excellent views of the famous hanging houses, set opposite the hotel. Housed in a former convent, this hotel has conserved its historical architecture. The interior patio area is ideal for keeping cool in the midday heat, and enjoying a read. Combining the original charm, with contemporary touches, this hotel is stylish and comfortable accommodation for a stay in historical Cuenca. Take a dip in the Parador’s outdoor swimming pool in the hot weather, or get more active in the on-site gym. There is also a sauna where you can unwind after some exercise. Dine in style with all the family in the Parador de Cuenca’s on-site restaurant, where you can sample traditional-style Cuencan cuisine.

“Fantastic hotel but be aware of the bridge you need to cross to reach the town”
The Parador at Cuenca is a converted monastery separated from the medieval city by a 100m long iron bridge over the gorge. This was a shock to me, and I mean a real shock as I absolutely hate heights. We parked outside the Parador (25 euros a night) and checked in then went to our rooms, large and spacious. The building itself was fabulous with original wooden ceilings, stonework and frescoes. Our room overlooked the gorge which was quite a spectacular site. Breakfast at the Parador was fabulous, I say 'breakfast' as a throw away word but this was a veritable feast and we were there for over an hour before another walk outside to view the town from this side of the ravine. I did feel vindicated when I read the information board that said the bridge, built in 1903, was only intended as a temporary measure before something more permanent was made. So this 'temporary' bridge has been in use for 123 years and is probably about to suffer imminent collapse! Check in at the Parador was very pleasant although in the evening we rang reception twice to request a taxi with no answer. There is actually a pool there too although it is across the road with no sign to say it is there or belongs to the Parador. Although the building and breakfast were superb, I think when I return to the city I will stay the other side of the gorge to avoid the bridge.

“Lovely old building with lots of charm. Comfortable and convenient. A bit on the expensive side”
Large rooms. Air-conditioning controls in Spanish and complex to adjust or start. Had to call receptionist each day to get it working. Even he had to look it up on YouTube. It was quite expensive. Really convenient location. Beautiful old building which was a former convent. Very clean and quiet. We did not have breakfast.

“A Parador with everything, except a pool!”
This hotel is ideally located just outside Cuenca old town, with stunning views of the gorge and hanging houses, and just 10 minutes walk away from the Cathedral, main square and a range of bars and restaurants. The hotel itself is a happy fusion of ancient and modern - it has preserved the medieval architecture and atmospherics of the former Convent of San Pablo while introducing all the essential contemporary comforts and amenities. Our Superior room was spacious, light, spotlessly clean, comfortably furnished and tastefully decorated. It had a large window-seat with breathtaking views of San Pablo bridge and the hanging houses. The hotel staff are friendly, polite, attentive and efficient, though never intrusive. We had dinner in the hotel's impressive refectory where the food was as superb as the service. Overall, we had a memorable stay in an excellent hotel.
