Opening Hours
Tradition and the avant-garde in the cradle of Spanish literature
The hotel is fully equipped with a spa, business centre, convention centre and twelve conference rooms. The location of this Parador, 26 kilometres from Madrid, 20 kilometres from Barajas International Airport and the IFEMA facilities, and only 2 kilometres away from the train station, make it an attractive destination, not only for tourism but also for conferences and celebrations.
Alcalá de Henares boasts the title of World Heritage City, and no wonder. In the cobbled streets of its historic centre, you’ll discover the historical legacy of this university city. A literary capital par excellence, this is where Miguel de Cervantes was born and where Francisco de Quevedo, Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca, Tirso de Molina and San Juan de la Cruz, geniuses of the Spanish Renaissance, lived.
The Parador de Alcalá isn’t just the best starting point for visiting the city, but it’s also a good option for hosting conferences and celebrations. Once you come here, we know for certain that you’ll return, just as the storks return every year to the city spires.
