Independent Report
generalCuenca is a truly original city hewn out of rock. The hotel's large windows overlook the famous Casas Colgadas (hanging houses) set on the rocks flanking Hoz del Huecar in implausible positions. It is a notable example of the late gothic style. 1208AB
lobbyThe lobby is medium in size and decorated as the rest of the hotel in tune with its historical settings. The lobby features elaborate coffered ceilings, original pulpits.
exteriorThe hotel is located in the ancient San Pablo convent which was built in the 16th century. The convent was founded by the famous Canon Juan del Pozo. It is located outside Cuenca city walls, where magnificent views can be enjoyed.
restaurantVisitors can sample the typical Cuencan cuisine, which is tasty and spicy reflecting the region's hunting and fishing. To accompany the meals there are excellent wines. In addition, one can sample the typical Cuencan Resoli liquor, made of spirits, coffee and sugar.
roomsThere are 62 rooms distributed over 3 floors, the second being the largest. Some of the rooms have views over the cloister, but the most solicited are the ones overlooking the city, gorges and hanging houses.
locationLocated opposite to Cuenca's Suspended Houses, whose acces, like that of the old center, is the extraordinary metal bridge. The N-III is the reference road from Madrid at the turn off from Tarancon, or from Valencia through Motilla del Palancar.
