In the region of Madrid we have two Paradores, the Parador de Chinchón and the Parador de Alcalá de Henares.

The Paradores de Turismo are unique hotels scattered throughout the national territory. Their main attraction lies in their buildings or locations, which have been chosen for their great historical, cultural or artistic interest. Staying in a Parador is always a unique experience, which merges with the history and realities of each territory.

Chinchón Parador Hotel

The former Monastery of the Augustinians, dating from the 17th century, is the building chosen to house this Parador in Chinchón.

The building has been refurbished and adapted to modern needs and facilities, but retains its cloister, now landscaped. The actual lodging area, where the rooms are located, is the former area where the monks used to stay. The original building was founded by the Counts of Chinchón and, therefore, many of the rooms have historical names. You can stay in the Prior's Room or the Countess of Chinchón's Room.

The Parador has a select gastronomic offer. It houses several restaurants, such as El Convento or El Bodegón, where traditional Madrid cuisine is usually predominant.

Alcala de Henares Parador Hotel

The city of Cervantes is a tourist attraction of the highest category due to its rich historical heritage. For this reason, a former 17th century convent-college, the Hostería del Estudiante, formerly the Colegio Mayor de San Jerónimo, is today an outstanding Parador de Turismo.

The building combines classical architecture with modern interior decoration. In addition to this syncretism, it offers a wide range of services, including a conference room, SPA and business center, in addition to the usual services of the Parador network.

This Parador was the second of the long list of Paradores, inaugurated by King Alfonso XIII in 1929. Since then, an extensive remodeling and refurbishment project has turned this hotel into a benchmark in the city of Heritage par excellence.

Its gastronomic offer is also a synthesis of Castilian tradition and signature cuisine. You can taste their version of the typical migas alcalaínas, a good cod confit, or the traditional roast suckling pig or lamb.
