“A grand 16th-century building, in the heart of the historic city, now turned five star hotel. Boasting vast proportions throughout, oozing character and filled with antiques. The best rooms have heavy wooden four posters.The elegant restaurant serves regional dishes and there's a glamorous bar too.”

Parador de Leon

The 16th-century Hostal de San Marcos is now a sumptuous five-star hotel, one of the grandest in the Parador group. It is all about the monumental setting, so don’t expect loads of facilities. You might be pleasantly surprised by the rates, though, as pretty good offers are available.
