Parador de Toledo

All of Toledo, from the Cerro del Emperador

The Parador de Toledo is a Mudéjar-inspired building on the Cerro del Emperador, on the other side of the Tagus, on the Cobisa road. From its terrace, its lounges and a good part of the rooms you see the whole city face on: the cathedral, the Alcázar and the river embracing the promontory. It is the view people climb up to the Valle viewpoint to find, and here you have it from your room, also at night, when the old town is lit up. Inside there are beams, staircases and wooden floors.

Rooms: ask for the superior

There are standard doubles, superior doubles, junior suites and singles. The ones Paradores expressly advertises as having city views are the superior doubles: if you are sleeping here for the view, book that category. They have air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with Chromecast, minibar, a safe big enough for a laptop and a hairdryer; wifi is free, there is a lift, room service, breakfast in the room, laundry and accessibility facilities.

In the November 2026 rate calendar, the room without breakfast started from €134 a night on weekdays, and went over €200 on Fridays and Saturdays. Breakfast or half board is chosen when you book.

Pool, garden and Toledo cooking

The pool is seasonal, for the hot months, and there is a garden. The restaurant serves Toledo and La Mancha cooking, in the hunting and shepherding tradition, and you can eat on the terrace with the city in front of you. The Parador has rooms for celebrations, the largest, the Greco, for 130 people.

Car, taxi or walk

It is about 4 km from the centre, so here the car is useful: free outdoor parking and a charging point for electric cars. You leave the old town for the day and come back to sleep with the lit-up city in front of you. If you prefer not to drive into the old town, a taxi takes you up and down. The walk down to the Valle viewpoint and the Tagus path is downhill, and over the San Martín bridge you enter the city next to San Juan de los Reyes.

Paradores places Madrid at 70 km, Aranjuez at 50 and the Barrancas de Burujón at 30. For a day of sightseeing, the Jewish quarter and cathedral route starts in the old town.
