Parador de Teruel

A Mudéjar small palace on the outskirts

The Parador is about 2.5 km from the centre of Teruel, beside the N-234 Sagunto-Burgos, at kilometre 122.5. It occupies a small palace inspired by Mudéjar art that overlooks the city: marble, tiles, pointed arches and Arabic details, with pastel tones in the lounges and rooms. Around it there are gardens with cedars and lawns, a seasonal outdoor pool, a tennis court and a playground.

It is a four-star in the Paradores network, with rooms for meetings and celebrations; the largest has 247 m² and takes up to 300 people for a cocktail reception.

Rooms and services

Paradores offers three types of room: standard double, superior double and suite. All have air conditioning, a flat-screen television, minibar, a safe with room for a laptop, hairdryer and free wifi, and you can ask for breakfast in the room. There is a lift, accessibility facilities, room service and laundry service. The website does not publish the number of rooms or fixed prices: rates (room only, with breakfast or half board) appear in the booking calendar according to the date.

For the car, the outdoor car park is free and there is also a paid garage and a charging point for electric vehicles. All services are subject to capacity and availability.

Who it suits

For those travelling by car who want to park without trouble, and for families: the garden, the pool in summer and the playground are welcome after a day at Dinópolis. It is also a good base for trips to Albarracín. To see the cathedral, the Lovers or the Escalinata you have to go down by car or taxi; if you want to get around on foot and go out for tapas at night, a hotel in the centre such as the Torico Plaza or El Mudayyan is better.
